I love this! Is this something that is going to be available through some web site?

I’m amazed how taken I am by it because the last 7 years I’ve had an ongoing battle with raccoons climbing up to my upper deck and jonsing to get in. Momma would come with 5 or 6 babies each spring. I had no warm feelings for them...well maybe the babies..but this little gal really grabbed my heart.

My first girlfriend had a Raccoon from a baby and it was her best pet she ever had!

That "Coon" didn't give a f#ck, no weather report, no beta, no North Face sponsorship, and SHE crushed it! Barefoot and onsight FFA.

Props!!!

But of course she was thrown in jail after topping out. Then taken to the safe place where we belong.

Meh. If PETA got involved, maybe add a wannabe Daniel Boone with a dead eye and an iron skillet, then things might have gotten interesting.

She fired the enduro headwall at the top in the dark with no headlamp. I never imagined that my climbing hero would be a raccoon.

The wonder - still - is how SHE was able to get so much purchase on the vertical wall. With those tiny feet and minimal structure. What a super rare thing, glad it went viral on social media.

It goes, boys.

Maybe it's more like dry tooling?

Either way there's not much of a perch on those holds, yikes!

Ditch stupid Honn-Solo and put that watercolor on an AAC T-shirt- they'd have droves of people throwing down donations.

What's up with the artist BTW? it's awesome!

^^^^. Amazing. Thanks.

I could have a whole wardrobe or decorate my house with the products available.

I’ll sign copies, in blood.

BITD I rented my basement to a crankloon who had a coon. Every night sounded like WWIII! He’d come up from his private hell looking like he’d gone three rounds with Edward Scissorhands, which he had, in effect. Good ‘pet’ my azz!

Count me in for one! I'd have to join the club but it would be worth it. Given how this has gone viral Megan has a million dollar product there if she acts fast while it's still hot. Hell, I may do it myself with the photo and a caption "Rocky's Romp, 5.16d FFSA".

edit: based on my experiences raccoons are pretty nasty little buggers. They look all cute but can be demons on wheels. One broke into our cabin once and tore the place up.

It would have been classic if Rocky had stood up on those ledges, with her back to the windows,ala someone else we have heard of.
