Thought this was a misplaced article from the Onion...

And then double-checked that it wasn't April 1st.

Not as bad as the Laughlin rumble.

You don't want to be caught in the middle of one of these confrontations (but extra points for the strategist who figured out how to exploit airport "security" to catch opponents unarmed, as well as the tacticians' innovative use of implements at hand).

Something tells me these guys travel easier on motorcycles,..

Cleaning up our house a bit, I thought I'd turn this into a climbing thread. Road Warrior is the name of a stellar route in the Near Trapps, at the Gunks, that goes at 5.11d R. "It's a visionary line." FA Russ Raffa in 1983. The quote is from Russ mocking himself.

At the first/second crux some have been known to do a gymnastics type back uprise to get their feet from below the overhang onto the face. It's fun to climb and to watch.

A highly recommended lead for those with both the guns and the cajones.

For those with slightly fewer guns and smaller cajones one can also set up a TR after leading the adjacent 10b PG Transcon.

In the spirit of Woody, climbing on.
