We were passed last summer high on Fairview by a guy in shorts, shoes, chalk bag, flip-flops clipped on. I got an extra high on an already great day. I guess its all relative - if you weren't used to it, you would sh#t your pants driving down the highway. And we certainly celebrate John Muir- an original free soloist.

"And it's a sweet feeling you get after soloing Grant's crack for the first time. Wait? Whats so bad about it?"
Oh God, you know how much I hate you for saying that, right? ;) You know, our shared history on that route and all.

"There is no reason to climb, it is intrinsicly a selfish activity, solo or in groups."
Climbing is a selfish, pointless and stupid activity, practiced by selfish, pointless and stupid people, who love to argue pointlessly about the degree of their selfishness and stupidity.
I'd rather just go climbing.

Locker - Regarding your "tie in" comment above. Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term "dynamic rope," now doesn't it?.....

Free soloing. Fits in somewhere between clean and aid - technically anyway :-).
Happie, does it count as free soloing naked - if you are wearing a chalk bag?

I guess it depends if he's wearing it as a "rope bag."

Watched Epperson do 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' naked. Wasn't one of the happier memories in my life. He has obviously practiced this sort of behavior before because his skill at rotating his chalk bag from front to back at the appropriate moment was very well done.

Nope, we should be celebrating "the spirit of climbing".
Man, I am bored. Currently working on a trip report from back in 1996 up on the Diamond. Digging out old slides and negetives.
