Enjoy your trip to the desert guys.

I would venture to say that another species of human is not all that coexist with us. Only time will tell.

Me too Dwain. I even tried to get Bruce to plan this trip around you being here but it just wasn't to be. Next time for sure!!!
Travis told me he gave you a new rope. I'm super happy he did and at the same time a little disappointed because I was hoping to surprise you with one...
Omelette house eh? Harry very kindly offered to put me up on my last night here since Bruce is leaving a day before me, and he's in charleston so maybe then??
There is an in-n-out just down the block so I am definitely getting A animal burger on the way home tomorrow!!
Jefe us pasty white dudes don't get to see cacti to often!! ;)
Thanks Travis!! Bruce only wanted me to upload 4 pics to save bandwidth on his 3G but I just could t resist posting more... ;) oops...

I am taking a mandatory rest day tomorrow, having climbed seven out of the last ten days and the last three back to back including today.
So this is a late call out for a partner for Big Mike tomorrow. Mike is climbing fast and strong, he's solid.
Thanks in advance.

When is Easter?
Sorry, I'm not Catholic enough to know, but it's generally around mid-Spring, is that right? If you guys are coming down here then, I'd like to join the fun.

If you're looking for a semi-rest day, find someone to tie on with and head up Prince of Darkness. The technical grade is 10c, but it's all bolt-protected and low-stress. Dream of Wild Turkeys (right next door) is probably better, but there's something to be said for low-stress.
Okay, caveats: the first pitch is not bolt-protected, but it's also really easy. i.e. low-stress. And the last pitch is actually a real crack, and you might have to place some pro, but the descent is right back down the way you came up, so you can preserve your mellow by just not doing the last pitch.
