The implication being that you have more than one? Definitely a visitor in W.Va. In fact the tooth brush was invented in W.Va. - anywhere else it would have been a teeth-brush. Uh-oh - I'm stealing my buddy's stuff - check out the Rendezvous next week and I'll get Nick (Brash) to tell the story about taking the cop's gun from him (no shit!!) Funny funny stuff so don't miss it.

Bump for a climbing thread! Holy crap prod and Christa, what a TR. I imagine the corrective dentistry is all done by now? You are one tough woman Christa!
It occurred to me that Sault St Marie, ON and points slightly north wouldn't be too inconvenient for you to check out. Batchawana and Montreal River Harbour have some ok climbing (more canadian shield granite/gneiss). The only rock climbing I've done there was at Ranwick Rock, some reasonably fun climbing, some bolted lines, some trad, supposedly some aid lines (ahem), and lots of room for more development. Looks like there is some info available over at rc.com. I guess there is a guidebook too. I can scrape together some beta if you're interested.
Cheers from the middle of the palm,
Gumbie

Hey Gumbie,
I checked out Renwick rock a few weeks ago. I thought it was way way over bolted. Almost to the point that it is ruined. The natural lines were few and far inbetween, but it was still a ton better than gym climbing. I have also checked out a few places going east on 17 from the Soo. I'll do another TR on my next visit that way.
The tooth saga is in progress, they have a temp tooth in until the post heals into her jaw bone (6 months total) then they will install a new vineer.
On top of that Christa just had her appendix removed.
Prod.

Climbed in the UP a couple of times. It ain't bad, north of Calumet is Cliff drive, miles of choss to climb on, anything we put up is sans fixed gear.

Dang Prod! Take good care of that woman, it sounds like she needs it right now. As for Ranwick, unfortunately some sections are pretty well grid-bolted. There's very little local coordination on development efforts, and many of the bolt placements are less aesthetic or well-thought-out than they perhaps could be. Major friction between some "local" parties definitely contributes to the disorganization. Have to take what you can get in this region sometimes.
I'd love to hear about what you find on 17E; looking forward to your next TR.
Healing thoughts for Christa from the middle 'o the mitt,
Gumbie

Damn. Reminds me of climbing the NE Butt of Slesse with Anders (Mighty Hiker) bitd. High on the rappels at the top of the descent on the second day I felt a big rock move when I touched it, so I called "RROOOCCCCKKKKK" Turned out that I was able to hold it in place, but when Anders looked up to see which way to duck he caught a tiny pebble that came from somewhere way above us. He was looking up, with his mouth open and his head tipped way back, and the pebble ticked one of his upper front teeth. Split it in half, and the back half fell out.
Weird. Looked totally normal from the front, but he said that the inside part was gone.
