2,000, and think, you could have just bought an arm chair and criticized all day long.
^Pretty damn funny.
2k is impressive!
..and it makes me think about all mine; zero. Well I still got a shot at arm chair'n.

Another streak...35 years straight of climbing 5.12 or harder.
Got ya beat on that one. I'm at 41 years straight of not climbing 5.12 or harder.
But seriously... almost 2,000 first ascents. Amazing.

Thanks everyone, Fritz...I work full time, mountain bike, run and raised three children and somehow kept my marriage together for over forty years now. :-)
Another streak...35 years straight of climbing 5.12 or harder.
Every bullet point there is damn impressive, esp marriage and kids, but for one person to nail all of em - for so many years - is really unique and amazing. Kudos Bob, keep it up!

Thanks all, make it to 2,000 or not will not be a big deal, The journey to get there is the prize,
John, Laurel is great and sends her best to you. Hope all is well?

Jstan, did every roof he saw in the Gunks, before modern light weight gear, he down climbed from lip moves, but if you sir only want to claim four, which four? How about the finger crack at the top of IInshulelation /Obstacle Delusion ?
