Thanks for the great show Chris. How did you get to Rubicon Ledge? Are the bolts holding up? How was the rack?

Nice, good job Chris!! Oh, wait... I was with him, huh?

Yes, I stuffed a number of cacti in my ear. It feels really good, try it some time. That's what I get for having the bright idea of a night drunkin' stumble to the base, haa haa.

There's a few different ways to get to Rubicon. The shortest way is just to the right of the two corners there is a slab with a bolt ladder to a ledge. Run-out slab climbing from there to Rubicon (three pitches total). The bolts are fine but anchors are not the best.

Chris is working on a trip report.

Cheers!!

I always wanted to climb on that wall (if I'm thinking of the right one)


Once in Indian creek I ran into a friend who I had not seen in years. We drank a bottle of whiskey late into the night. He told be he was not the devil and went to bed. I wandered off to pee and became hopelessly lost. There was no moon. I layed down on the ground to look up at Cottonwood tree silhouetes against the stars for landmarks. After an hour or more I wondered if it was cold enough to die of hypothermis. When I had given up hope I found my tent. The next morning I was missing a sandal and had cactus spines embedded in my right arm and leg, some of them stayed for days.

Bob actually went climbing the next day.

What are those pills? I can't read the labelling, and I don't recognise them. Hence, couldn't work out whether it was significant that only one was used, or whether it was significant that they were even taken at all.

Caffeine gum, not sure if there on the market yet.

so good, thanks cats. beautiful wall eh?

good song too. i am guessing its by Linkin Park. one of those bands that one is sort of embarrassed to admit to having a fondness for, but i will do so, even though i don't fall within the MTV targeted demographic that the band seems to cater to.

Not on the market yet? Where'd you get 'em? Did you beat up some Mexican and steal his stash?

Nice show, boys. I don't know anything about that route, but it looks like a lot of thin stuff -- like that photo where you can see nearly all of the four lobes of the green alien, but it's still in the crack. It wouldn't have held my body weight, bro. Skinny bastards...
