It's not very often that I screw up climbing history in San Diego, and Mt. Woodson in particular. AND manage to drag an innocent party into it, which is sort of a ultimate f*#k-up because, you know, facts matter. But...hubris, haste, and brain farts have conspired to make myself look like, you know, an as#@&%e.
So it was recently brought to my attention that Randy Leavitt had NOTHING to do the Woodson glue-ups that were mentioned in the Woodson thread. And the second I heard that I was like "of course not, that was so-and-so, so-and-so, and so and so." OOOOO sh#t. So, Randy, please accept this apology. Now, if you'll allow me, I'll go put on a hairshirt and flagilate myself for a bit.
Again, sorry.

Forgiven, as far as I'm concerned. (FWIW, with no dog in the fight, nor desire to see dogs fight.)
Classy touch. We could do with more such openness & honesty here. TFPU.

Andy Redding told me the story. I am not going to say if he did it or not, but I heard the story from him....

To help you feel properly chastised, I'll point out that it's "flagellate".
A good apology is a sign of class, and you don't see them too often on the internet.
So, what does "swole" mean, anyway? Swollen muscles? Swollen brain? Enquiring minds want to know.

Welcome to the human race man, we all F***%ck up now and then, great attitude with the apology. Post a climbing picture by way of penance. BTW, you'll never be LEB's burned out shadow you know, you'll always be Swoll.
PS, so who did sh#t on the ropes? Errr, nevermind:-)

A climbing picture would be a start, but true forgiveness will only come if you rebuild your "LEB: The Sarah Palin Interview" and post it somewhere we can all see it. Xtranormal had some sort of website rebuild a while back and lost a lot of older clips. Including yours.
So get the hair shirt on and get to work on that.

I'm thinking that the word you're looking for is flail, as in to effect to climb when lacking swole. Ask your doctor about the option of adding HUMILIBIFY…
