I'm planning on a couple of weeks in the Tetons in August - could definitely squeeze in a few days of 'woo.

on old fighting ships the surgery in the sick bay was painted blood red, so the spilled blood didn't frighten the unanethsetized patient-sailors...

...of OW it would probably be a good idea to have the tee-shirts major color blood red...

No stinkin shirts are gonna get you up any off-width.

It takes pure discipline and good technique to survive.

Got discipline and technique?

If so you can leave the shirt at home ...........

Werner,

The shirt is incidental, not integral.

Werner you have it all wrong.... it is all about the shirt. Was Superman Superman without the tights?
Was Batman Batman without the cape?
Didn't think so.... without the shirt, the OW crew is just a bunch of soft bleeders
with no hope. But with the shirt, ah-ha! They are a fearsome band of
wide crack marauders, still just as soft, and still just as leaky, but the psyche
is there.... lose the shirt, and lose the psyche.... lose the battle while on the approach.
OW is in your mind man.... if you think you can do it in a particular shirt, your chances
of actually doing the route go up by 14.3%. Of course the chance of doing the routes
starts at about zero so it will be a thin summit party, but none the less, the shirt is all
important.... what size do you wear???

This is a good OW look:

or this OW model:

I'm thinkin, since the venue is so smooth, we opt for a nice chain male v-neck...

The date?

Like Russ always said; "I'll meet you at the base, don't be late".

Russ, nice, where's the Fish logo?

The first guy looks like a sport climber. The second guy looks a little alpine.

Jaybro mentioned that its hot in the summer,
my best time is probably the first week (8/6) of Aug or the last (8/27) but I have a leeway...

...the Tee-shirts are just to keep the blood off the rock so as to give the next climber a chance...

Hey Russ - don't forget we'll be searching for the state liquor store sometime around that mid-August blood-letting in Vedauwoo.

Team wide,
"state liquor store" is not a concept in big wonderful. Private enterprise + license, and they are all drive through.

It's never too hot to climb in the shade in Vedauwoo, deto is another matter, but it cools down in August, kinda.

Though Vedauwoo does get afternoon showers @ times, I've never lost a day of climbing to it (maybe 12" rain/yr) could snow in late Aug, though.

I would lean toward mid August but am flexible. School (my job) probably starts last week of Aug, so I'm voting for earlier than that.
