Where's the TR? Where's the pimping? Am I missing something? All I saw were a bunch of myspace photo's.

I'm back but not apologizing. Hopefully Cmac lets me ride. Only climbing content for me now.

I just fail to see any climbing? Was this just a scramble to the base TR?

:) no, that's a fair question.

There are some belay shots. Sorry no action but we were to busy sending. Instead of posting on the t*r* thread...

Looks like you had a nice hike to the base where you enjoyed beers while twirling your ironic mustache. Sweet.

Those climbs are good, you should do them sometime.

That approach should be considered the first pitch. Crack Kingdom was sweet and the ride down was amazing!!!!

implicitd and i were humoring
the march of all walloping
and we mused that it would be
worthwhile to post up
a trip report documenting
a not-to-uncommon outing of
hike a bunch of shite to the
base, crack the beers,
and talk shite for 6 hours
while littering (later to pick up)
the base with tons of spent
brain bomb shells and have a whole
bunch of pics of just sitting
and drinking and the slums of
real life all about,
but of course no climbing.

kovar you and the jebus
are half way thru my mind.

Don't you guys count the approach as a pitch and start drinking like us and the Norwegian once you get to the top? Stupid Americans.

Ah, don't ruin it Seth. It's just that we take better pictures when we can focus our eyes a bit while sippin a brewskie.

Plus, I don't like the idea of creeps like MichaelD wanking to my sexy climbing physique caught in motion. Ugh. Creeps me out!

edit: I particularly like the angry anchor making look I have. Anchor making and beer drinking. That's trad climbing, right?

The real irony of this is Seth's moustache is nefarious not ironic. He is the Supertopo Villain, after all.
