Wow, what a total badass your lady is.

As far as the worst reason for a rescue, a group of Koreans called for a a rescue on Denali because they didn't like the weather as it later turned out. I think the full story is that they called for a rescue, and the rescue happened. Later, the Park Service learned the reason and was pretty burned about it, but the Koreans we all no-compas, like meh... we paid for rescue insurance in advance- WTF?

Think of the poor bastards heading up in that sh#t weather while the Koreans huddled in their tents...inside their thick fluffy sleeping bags....

Wow, missed this first time around.

"I ever loose part of a finger in a piece of climbing gear, I hope I've got the good graces to tape it up, show it off, and smile for a picture." Yeah, what a good sport.

As Tommy says in Dosage Part 99, "high four and a half!"

Thanks for all the kind words.

And to the Fet, how did you get your screen name. Somewhat unusual and yet it is what we call Juli's brother.

shameless self promotional thread bump.

At least it is climbing related......and it has a Garcia reference. Makes me proud.

As the 3 year anniversary of Chubbs(yes, her stubb has a name) gets closer , I realize I have failed once again in my resolve to climb in the Valley more often. Oh well, at least I am still climbing. As for Juli, she is still a bad ass...nothing is gonna keep her down.

Cheers.

Wow, that is proud stuff. funny, about 10 days ago or so i was at the same place with my wife heather, only two placements above the belay, when the fixed stopper i was hanging on blew. i had backcleaned a cam below, and was just about to move onto the a bomber cam above. i took a fall factor two onto the belay, sending heather sailing into the belay, hurting her knee in the process. luckily, she was belaying well below the anchor. as always, like everybody should, i had the top bolt on the belay clipped. i fell free about ten feet, spanked the slab right next to her, and went sailing past her another ten. i took the hit along the entire side of my left body...bloodied thigh, bruised ribs, left elbow, sufficiently evenly enough to not get seriously hurt. we licked our wounds and continued onwards, topping out in under 16 hours, but fried enough that we spent the night on top of the route, nursing a piddly fire with a few twigs all night to keep from freezing. but this was nothing to juli's epic, i feel like such a sissy now, shipoopoi

I don't know Shipoopi, it sounds pretty epic. Not to diss on Juli because she is always a bad ass, but it was just a pinky after all. Sure it was messy and looked like hell but it doesn't effect your ability to walk at all. Plus we at least had bivy gear. That would have been a cold night.
