Roy Fala, I'm very sorry that our leaders do not step up like yours did. What else can I say?

Transformer
High on the trail
From Wrights to Grouse Lake
You'll find Transformer Buttress
On the Autobot Face
There's Bumblebee Crack
It's no picnic you bet
But Optimus Prime Direct
Looks harder even yet
Beware Megatron Pillar
I hear it's a killer
Up Decepticon Gully
You'll appreciate fully
The Scorponok Jam
I hear it's quite the pump
At the top of that route
There's a place you can jump
That's if basing's your thing
It's not mine anyway
But in love with sci-fi
While hiking ok
Just a broken down climber
And a Trekkie these days
Who still sees the lines
And the routes on the way

Greenland is not a member of FIFA, and so will be excluded from the 2018 World Cup tournament.
Russia is qualified for World Cup play because the host country is an automatic qualifier.
(If you didn't know these facts, you are smarter by that much now.)
I am not a HUGE fan of "footie," although when I played softball for TNF I wore a pair of soccer cleats.
I have also free-soloed Sunnyside Bench using only my right hand while wearing bowling shoes;
but I have never tried it in the soccer shoes as the steel cleats might have been considered cheating or damaged the rock.
All this talk about clean climbing, yet no one's concerned about wear and tear on the rock from front points? :0)

Sixty Seconds
Sixty seconds of noise
Water falling
Striking on the fence and tree roots
Pattering on the grass
Gentle breezes moving branches
The wide world waiting
Or was it just me?
The world is fine with or without me
Sixty seconds of silence
Sixty moments of odd perfection
Sixty seconds in between
Sixty seconds of noise

Wet feathers from mass opprobrium, eh?
Don't lay no magic words to cover your stinkin' little turds.
Too late, kid, we know whatcha did.
You don't follow leaders if you are a solo act...
which in turn can make it hard to find a spot at the campfire,
especially one free from smoke.
Your parking meter is running out of time.
Woe unto thee, varlet. Verily, I lay it down plain as day.

Fozzzzr, When it rains It Pours SHEETS sheeshs!
thanx again - your wisdom and advise are much appreciated
\\\\FOUND CLUNKER -
THANKS BE IT'S A SWEET RIDE
I'LL BE BUYING OIL BUY THE CASE
a mucch to red, any red is to not be caught in . .
ss, GTO? I dont know
WHAT LOOKS GOOD IN RED?
IF I CAN ILL GET INTO A HY-BRID!
So The 1st offering of the Camry was a dismal failure
ive found a red one thats cherry, ill grasp the chance? just have no choice thanx be i have a choice, to have the thing painted? can i use that to knock more off the price? it is not the only Clunker choice
there is a Maxima- that is a 04 3.5sl
a sweet loaded -boat of a thing? sill? see what do?
suffer but standin into the curl
Yikes, Its complicated, and not complicated.
There are different circumstances that are determined by various factors, Where When & how the climb goes up may play a role.
what are the levels/amounts of energy & focus to be shared with the climbing.
(At many times not cleaning more than what comes off in your hands has been my experience.)
Is the Question Will anyone ever climb this way again?
A consideration?
Is it possible to make it absolutely safer or is it Inherently the Climber to "Always make it Safe", responsble difficulties focus the climbers attentiion fully.ibility ? the criticism of the a judgment that is made during a FA, and many after if left as in a wild state, mostly un-touched , but fore the safe passa to be made between safe and SAFE?, to what extent?
In Gunks & West Virginia/ Kentucky I think its very different, Ive been sad but happy ge often a line of moves following a narrow path, where the desirato go along and climb some "over-comfertized" holds
it didnt seem all that bad '90 -2006,/ There was a dual drum beat from the youth & gyms.
huh Climbing? who would know it would be popular?
but the idea that the stories of
/ In the Alaska range ? In the farther ranges? what is the protocol for , how much loose rock is and how much loose rock isnt climbable?
In New Jersey I used jacks and pry bars to remove a tottering stack of shatterd ex
What do you owe to anyone who may follow? Especially When the climbing demands all your attention, the focus is on your protection & to the moves to the next holds, to hell with clearing a carriage road. climb/survive.NO space for cleaning.
the making of the sausage, saying comes to mind.
no one like to think to much about the blood and guts while eating it ,but over a beer and shots ask a hunter as some of you know its not a pretty sight.
Ive never made a hold out of whole cloth, a chiseled line of holds to link crack systems.
First ascent though as if it needs to be said, in the more urban climbing zones demand that "Extensive" cleaning is a must. In the more taking a screw drive to clean out the rotton scale that can finde a scoope where there had been crusty friable flakes, pasted together with dirt
well i hope you can get -back to sleep.

America the Charred, Flooded, Windswept, and Misguided
If you miss the brown air
It's all over our state
Don't visit here now
The air isn't great
Tragic loss of life
People, animals, and homes
The beautiful trees burned
Gone but not gone
We breathe in our loss
And choke every day
So enjoy your clean air
And please stay away
Our nation is burning
Or blowing away
But there's no climate change
The republicans say
Our fearless leader
Calls us stupid or small
Tiny brained or giant assed
He's still very tall
If you think the brown air
Makes America great
Come visit us now
It's the latest sad news, mate

I have also free-soloed Sunnyside Bench using only my right hand while wearing bowling shoes;
Sunnyside Bench Regular was my last climb...during Facelift 2016. I climbed it solo but carried some courage (a rope) in my rucksack in case I got in over my head and wanted to retreat. The rope stayed in the bag.
MFM.... I used both hands and feet liberally. It was a fun and fond farewell.
