Laughing today, terrified then. Maybe it was your insane cackle whilst pulling 180/360.

When my bud's come over we mostly sit around and slander other climbers. Of course it's meant with the utmost respect, just getting on our list is an accomplishment.

Ksolem, the 70's were sometimes like you just described.

Meet with friends.

You climb.

Finish climbing, drink a beer or two.

Talk about more climbing, your wanna do stuff.

Several more beers (6 packs) are consumed.

You talk about what others have climbed.

You hit the Makers Mark or Tequilla

You critique how they did it.

This is where it can get ugly. Falling over drunk and no one remembering what was said may be the best you can hope for.

JTree sometime, somewhere, in the long ago. :)

"I heard that guy top-roped that rig 'till he had it ruthlessly wired. Then he staged the onsight..."

"I heard he watched the video of Leavitt doing it like a hundred times before he ever hiked out there to try it."

"Dude... That guy is totally pipe and we all know it..."

You needed a guide and a machete to get thru the ethics jungle.

But except for a few we managed to maintain long time friendships.

Hey ya Linnie! Sorry I missed you guys last weekend, but we had a really good visit with dad. Did you guys make it to the secret stash? I heard that maybe it never happened? No worries! There's always next time!

anita 514, we were "lite" back then. Think Miller Lite was fairly new and that was the beer of choice for some of us. Could be wrong of course.......

Three weeks ago we asked them to have a seat and enjoy the view.
They loved the view but complained about the comfort.
Well we fixed that.

View is still killer...
