And the Techno. And you don't need a guide book to find it. You sure as hell don't need beta unless maybe you're blind. lol

Be sure to bring a camera.

Super secret locals only beta. If you take a pic from about 20' past the end of the traverse looking back, you can get the climber, and a real, honest to goodness mountain in the shot!!

It's amazing, really shows how climbing is all about nature and the mountains and stuff.

You'll need 6 pads (this thing is truly worthy of the ironman nomenclature, there must be 8-10 hand moves alone!!!), 2-3 spotters (you think climbing this thing is tiring), at least 3 pairs of shoes (need a good edger and a good heel hooker, as well as an all day shoe), 2 chalk bags (one for the ground and one to wear) and if you have the skrilla (that's what boulders call it right???) then 2-4 go pros: one for your chest, one for the head, and if you can one on each wrist pointing at your face, go pro videos are so much fun to watch.

TJI, did you have coffee with Suprema yesterday? If so, look for the
red ring around the bite area. You still have 24 hours to get treatment.

Sh#t yeah, even got Ryan to chime in.
Good call on the towel Rmuir, especially with my bars and stars thong. Probably set up camp at the boulder. I'm thinking oneone e "z" up will cover that whole problem, but might bring two just in case. I forget, Ironman is at the sads and not the happies, correct?
