Great photo!
That thing is waaaay bigger in real life than it look in that photo.
Split Decision is one of the best highball "easy" problems out there. I remember a week before I did it, a guy jumped from the last hold, seriously hurting himself. That was enough motivation to top out for sure.
Cheers!

Last Tuesday a old, fit,tanned, guy was walking past Turlock, stopped and looked up at the Crowed Pleaser like he knew what he was looking at.
Its not uncommon to see old dudes walking around looking at the rocks.
Some how this was different so I went over and sparked up a conversion with him.
Turns out it was Paul Neil!!!!
This was his first time back at Stoney in 30 years....After living in South Africa.
We had a good time catching up with some folks we know in common, the climbing community is pretty small when you think about it.
He said he was looking for Don Lauria.....
I told him about Super Topo and this killer website and this thread.... he said he would look for it.
So maybe he will join and post up.
When he left he told me.... I might be back, with my EB's
I sure hope so.
I should have taken his picture, but not being from the Instagram generation I am not to quick on the draw with the iPhone.
"IT ALL STARTED RIGHT HERE" is what he told me.
So true for a lot of us.

FYI ...
Psilocybin’s unique ability to bind to serotonin receptors, as well as other receptors that scientists do not fully understand, has led to a myriad of potential medical uses. In 2010, Dr. Charles Grob, a Harbor-UCLA Medical Center psychiatrist, published a study in Archives of General Psychiatry that shows psilocybin has the potential to reduce anxiety in advanced-stage cancer patients. The study focused on 12 patients who received two sessions each, one with psilocybin and one with a placebo. Researchers found that with a fairly low dose of psilocybin, patients reported feeling less anxiety and needing less pain medication. Dr Stephen Ross, the clinical director of New York University Langone Medical Center of Excellence of Addiction, told the LA Times that this was a “landmark study… the first time a paper like this has come out in a prestigious psychiatric journal in 40 years.”
But psilocybin doesn’t just alter feelings and perceptions. Research published in the journal Experimental Brain Research this July by University of Florida scientists suggests that psilocybin can actually restore damaged brain cells. The scientists trained mice to be fearful of an electric shock, and then administered some of them psilocybin. They found that the mice on psilocybin were more relaxed and less fearful, but they also noticed that the psilocybin restored partially destroyed brain cells. Study author Dr. Juan R. Sanchez Ramos suggests that this is promising enough to merit further research into using psilocybin to generate new brain cells, as well as using psilocybin to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, since the fear in the mice resembled PTSD.

BlueWing.... I think the "experimenting" is still going on at Stoney.
Its pretty common to see some slack jaw hippy or modern hipster wandering around staring at the Jimson weed, the "ART" on the stone or the busy ant hole.
My old roommate, Steve, Chatsworth Hi class of 69, told me stories of hooking up with "Squekey" by slant rock to score "L".
I guess this was quite a common occurrence and a tradition that continues to this very day.
