That Cam guy is fairly small and he cruised it.
Platinum Rob is about 5,10", Luebben isn't that much bigger. I think it actually favors those of modest height.
Cool link! Thanks.

Although the weather forecast for the Creek was not too promising for Thanksgiving day, Brady and I headed down to visit the K-bros and maybe get some climbing in. Our mission became one of holiday, and we shifted the effort to providing the Creek crew with some Turkey Day feastin'.
When we arrived, spirits were low, with most of the gang wanting to bug out--but once the challenge was issued to cook a turkey with all the trimmings on an open fire, the call was answered and we all had a good reason to stay in the drizzling weather.
The crew in need of a morale boost.
First task was the assembly of the oven, and coal preparation.
Chef Brady with the stuffed turkey awaiting the heat.
Luckily, I had brought two totes with hardwood flooring scraps (ash, oak, fir, walnut, and alder) to make hot, lasting coals.
Gravy, stuffing, and spuds.
Dirt bagger Pat scarfing a drumstick.
Time for the pies (punkin', pecan, and apple crisp), to be topped with fresh, honey-cooked cranberries.
Pat's 5-week pillow, all broke in with good dreams.
The Bozeman crew all left for home and/or dryer places to climb. Brady and I hit the Big Bend boulders passing through Moab en route to Ibex.
Brady sampling the sandstone.
Random pad-moocher getting serious.
Anatomy of a bad photo session.
Mojede pulling on the quartzite of Ibex.
Brady sending with a little help from the pads at the start.
My proudest send--I flashed a short, funky V2, hehe.
Overall, I was glad to get out on the road, and though I missed Molly and the kids, it was a holiday saved by good friends gathering cheer.

Wow, That turkey oven is somethin else, nice work. Wonder if my friends down in Josh did something similar for their meal. Thanks for postin the great TR, from somebody who did a regular family and friends Thanksgiving it's nice to have some monday photos to make me remember my good times with good friends on america's laziest holiday.
Cheers,

You know I'm, on your side! Cool stuff as always.
Last year, @ IC pagan and Erik cooked a turkey in the sand, it was said that it worked pretty well, but the dogs seemed happiest. Most of us stuck to Sushi, and wasabi, and sake, and tequilla.
So, any liquid Sky action?
We needed your collective wide-pertise for a bit of Gristle in Josh this holiday.

Thanks Orion!
Jaybro - I know you're down! Just figure people are missing the updates...
No Liquid Sky for us...though there was talk about it...the brotherman got on Bellyful, but it was before I arrived...I think he has pics of it though...
The rock oven worked really well actually, and the turkey was tasty ...it only took around 3 hours to boot...a bit quicker than the hole method(from what I heard)...
I saw some pics of Scuffy on the T-wide, but I'm not sure I saw the Gristle...guess I better head over there...
EDIT: ok, I see...Interesting shot..anymore?

Food only goes with me because my two main travelling partners (only one this time) are both chefs at fine dining establishments. I have tons of experience shopping for the food, but prefer that the pros handle the heat.

Next day we ended up at the 2nd Meat Wall...
After some warm ups and a false start, Pat onsighted the Extra-Lean, pretty damn good show. Probably the wildest heelhook I've seen Pat do...
