Split the difference, happy 19!

Is that "a cheap" or "a creep" Susan?

^^ Oh my gosh, Fritz!! THAT IS FABULOUS!!

We *love* the rocket powered flying snapping turtle!!

I'm so proud of how far Anita has come since we first met! Little things like external fixators on her leg didn't slow her down.








A few months later, the frame was removed under a general anaesthetic, and two and a half days later - with a hastily replaced and blood-drained plaster cast - she flew down to Yosemite to drink beers with me in the El Cap Meadows!





Afterwards, we hit the beach:





The very next season, she was schlepping her pig up to the base of El Cap:


Check out her leg - no metal! OK, there might still be one screw left inside somewhere.....




And we set off up Squeeze Play over on the left side, a variation of Lost World that finishes on Lurking Fear.






We didn't make it to the summit on account of enduring three days of storms, and when the awful realization of bailing finally sank in, the tears of defeat in Anita's eyes told me that she was exactly the kind of climbing partner I had been searching for





So she came back with me again....






And this time we sent. Looking down on El Cap Meadows this time:






She thinks it's a suntan, but it's really just dirt:







I verily believe these dreamy eyes are My Destiny:




Happy Birthday Anita! I love you!

xoxo

Thanks, everyone!
Susan - I HATE that picture, you're killing me with it!!
Fritz - I laughed so hard at that video! I'm going to play it again for my sister later today.

Pete, as always, is far too kind. Stop it with the pics already. I'm sure everyone's sick of seeing you worship me so much ;) <3

Woot woot!

Of course: the ambiguous comment was a reference to my totally self-absorbed Realization that a picture of the wife and I that was only ever posted last year on this thread, has been deleted leaving that rude shadow dude As all ways I'm glad when you chime in !
takes the sort of person that like & that often likes me,
to keep an eye to this geezers Semi-climbing swamp.
Lurkers are the best at send shivers thru the place.

Share some more shots of that sexy oaf will ya 'eh?
