I keep reading this title as "Horses are Bad to the Bone".
Which makes me think about tainted meat. And Upton Sinclair.
Props to the participants.

I'm headed to the bridge. Expecting my beer.
I've been "told" I may be SOL.
I have more faith than that.

Susan, you've gotta catch Pete before he starts climbing if you want your beer. Lol. I'm sure Tom will have some cold ones chilling in the river.

Yeah but his beer sucks. You're better off drinking water from the river!

Arg. No signal last night. So from lat night. ...
Good Friday evening from stormy El Cap. We got surprised by rain and got wet struggling to put on our rain flies. But we're inside now reasonably dry
Bad to the Bone has been a superb route, quite sustained, never desperate. But we ain't done yet. We are on the right side of the Devil's Brow in a spectacular exposed bivi. Jon and Dom have climbed great on their first El Cap route, a PDH one at that.
So not only is it Friday, but it is a milestone for me. Not counting base and summit bivis, this is my 600th night on the side of El Cap. Woo hoo!
Three pitches and God willing, my 51st different route.
So cheers to all from the Big Stone. Still have beer, wine, a bit of Sailor Jerrys and some tequila left. But might need some of my caving buddy Dick's homemade Kentucky bourbon, 190 proof!
Saturday morning: we are so overprovisioned. that. we had to declare a rest day. Plus we are climbing too quickly. Couldn't possibly top. out in under ten days. So cheers to chillin. hard on the wall.!
Neil Cheltam is a wanker. And Ottawa Doug is a weenie! And Klaus is rather a sick- o.
Good times on Bad to the Bone!
And Susie Q .... I have your beers!
Saturday afternoon- another storm!! Holy frig! Where's Ottawa Doug? ? Don't see his fly up. Oh, there he is on top of Texas Flake. Slow to deploy. Did he get wet? And why not WOEML? ? Surely not TR again.
One of the best ever sunsets in the clearing clouds. Brilliant orange Allentown on Middle Cathedral.

I read all this about being bad and sending, but when I went by the Bridge yesterday all I saw was a couple of ledges way up on the wall.
