The brotherman, the new age dirtbag, a vagabond playing poker and climbing rocks...who says dirtbagging is dead?!...it's just changed a bit...that is if you know a thing or two about internet poker...
Currently the brother is down in Vedauwoo...and recently leaked some photos...by that I mean emailed to me whilst Pat was 'working' at a coffee shop on a restday...
The Hobgoblin
Happy Hour
Crack Named Sue
Pat's been camping near Alice and To The Moon, and says it's a good site and close(r) to the central area. He joked that since no one camped at the official Bugaloo site(besides us(after the first weekend)) this year, that next year we're gonna move to this site...
Alice
To The Moon
Before this action Pat and crew was up hanging with the Colonel in Deto...
Trevor on Doldrums
Pat way out on a string of body weight placements...
Pat and Trevor still strapped to the belay at 9pm while Dave finishes cleaning the pitch. Three guys, no headlamps...
Dave on a new free route Hourglass
Sounds like another week in the woo, then south towards the desert...who knows what adventures are in store? Pat only mentions ideas here and there...something about a new route in Castle Valley...but who really knows...

Never too late to start learning Jay...lots of free 'playmoney' tournaments running on many sites. Good way to start to get a feel for it...
I'm sure Pat would trade poker tips for OW tips though

regardless, honing in OW skills is always good...as is honing in the poker skills...both take time and practice. Books help with the later more than the former(at least for me)...
Oh...to be able to have that freedom...I better keep reading...

Kingsburys, I mentioned to Molly that I wanted to take the kids down there and she said, "I want to go too." She's trying to get off Weds. and Fri. around T-day, so we can spend a few days with y'all.
Hopefully, her work will accommodate, otherwise, it's me and the chitlen--we'll see.

Did you climb Liquid Sky? (it's on No Six shooter) I've always wanted to, but never been on it. After the first ascent the only ascents I've heard of were Platinum Rob and partner one xmas eve day back in the nineties, and Cam What's name (who climbed in Cuba with Luebben)a bit later.
Luebben wrote an article about getting up there and being afraid he waould get stuck, and bailed.
Send it! if you haven't, yet.
Pat, if you're still out there send it for the rest of us.

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.

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.

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?

First one, IMO. It looks harder and steeper, plus I like the vibrant orange streak at the top.

Were you guys licking Toads that night?

Word has it they were actually shape-shifters posing as toads...but I'm not sure....

After about 3 hours, the 13 pound turkey was ready to eat...and that brings us back to around post #70 or so...

feasting occurred, followed by many libations...and fun continued into the evening...
The following day, after a hefty cleanup session, we all went on our ways...a majority towards Bozeman, Kevin and Brady towards Ibex, Trevor headed down to southern AZ to seek warmer stone, Joel and Neil are eventually going to end up down in Patagonia...and Dave is hitch hiking as we speak...heading towards the northwest.
Seemed a good time was had by all, and hopefully I'll find myself sharing a fire with these lads again soon...
Thanks for taking a look into this extended madness...hopefully I can motivate Pat to post some stories soon as well...keep an eye out...
Cheers,
Tom

What did you think of the belly?

the belly is a sweet climb for sure!!!!
have u looked at it in person?
it starts out easy enough since you can stem the face out to the right, but after the fists get to big the invert seems super hard!!!
i could get into the position and move, but it seemed like minimum progress....
i want to try it again.....but it is damn hard!
easy enough to C1 if ya get totally shut down....

It's the last hard(est) o-dub I got up (redpoint) in Oct(?) '04. It's got a lot of stuff packed into a short distance, sizes changing fast enough that there is a bad size for any body type/size, I eschewed stemming to the right, it worked for Petro & maybe that is the way to go, but it seemed off route, to me. Three days later, in the Owens River Gorge, (the day I first met Matt) I was still, heavily, in recovery, and fell on the last clip of Chocolate to Morphine.
Life is a grand adventure!

Beautiful shots, how telling of the day, is the belayer in down jacket and helmet?
Note to anyone who hasn't been there, it's solid .11 bad hands, very near the start! And then it gets crazier! All the rests are active; some muscles get a rest, at the cost of decreases in interstitial glycogen in other muscles (they get more pumped). A very, very cool route! I wish Bob S posted here (or anywhere, get it together you hyper-articulate luddite) so he could share, in his own words, the story he shared with Platinum Rob and I, around a super bowl campfire, on the origin of the name. Also, he's more other Shi†, than you can imagine!!

Thanks Pate! That's mighty kind...
hopefully we'll be seeing a third installment starting the end of this month. The brotherman is linking up with a swede friend and they are on the OW mission....I heard rumors of trench warfare, a new wide roof a pitch up at the creek, and a Zion objective...am of full of shi+? I guess y'all will just have to keep an eye peeled!
Cheers!

Nothing *quite* yet...but the brother is planning on picking up his Swedish partner from the SLC airport on the 31st...so the adventure should start gearing up around then.
There was talk of heading down to try trench warfare before that...but I'm unable to break away for it...hopefully Pat still gets a chance to try it though....
