I'm unhappy that I can't attribute the performance, I was wondering why I didn't put it on the video... I'll see if I can track it down.... there are bits of the play list there...
the demise of the record industry is not something I morn... but I think the artists should be benefiting, obviously this is a case where they aren't

I wonder if Mike could play that on the violin. Once upon a time he maybe could have.

My favorite squeeeze/OW out in Josh. I climb them to get better because it seems all the good routes I want to get on have wyde pitches.

Well, we just verified yet again that my mind is a sieve. I grunted with my chest fully expanded to hold in place on that, feet bicycling helplessly, some time around 1998 but I have no memory at all of the particulars.

With all the OW aficionados posting on this string, I was wondering whether anyone has ever got up this OW near the pull out for Olmstead Canyon on the north side of the Tioga Road in T Meadows?:
Found it last August just before the Rim Fire blocked access to the Meadows. Elliott Robinson said he tried it back in the late 80s to no avail, so it must be pretty heinous. Anyone?

Stuff like this seems like another planet to an oldtimer who bouldered in the 1950s and treasured and practiced minimal contact . . .
Goes to show how diverse climbing is.

Saw a little chalk back under the overhanging start. Think you can see it in the pics. However, that just means someone messed around on the rattly off hands crack at the base, not that they finished the whole thing. Lots of people seem to be bouldering in Olmstead Canyon these days.
The way the weather is right now I bet you could drive to Olmstead if the Tioga Road were open, but it's NOT. Sounds like a whole lot of tape and 5.10 rubber knee pads are in order.
Just holding my breath and waiting to get back to the Meadows, the sooner the better!

It's more like a prison than a bastion.
More like a bastille than a citadel.
Come down off your throne, and leave your body alone, face-climbing is the key.
More freedom to move.
I pity you masochists.
In the wide, one cannot see beyond one's nose a lot of the time.

And that's a distinct advantage, Mouse-ster: OWs require a "necessary blindness" as Paul De Mann would have put it. As everyone learns after a while, 6 or 7 inches can make all the difference in the world.
