Hey ya'll, let's get together in March again so I'll have a reason to get off my butt and out of this cold place. It's really starting to get old and after only two months I've put on about 10+ pounds already.

I've been giving this much thought, Darrel. The obvious solution to our chronic, Rubidoux interloper poaching problem is to simply claim you as owr own, in much the same way that the LDS church performs proxy baptisms.

This event will be consumatted with a splash of ganster grafitti decalaring "Fly Flabob Regional Airport!" splashed across the face of Lemon Chiffon, followed by a mighty TR session on VP's Office. We might also sacrifice a large Carne Asada burrito at the base of Welcome to Roubidoux.

That should settle things once and for all, and when you keeping kyping our prized gems we can simply go "ya, long-time woodson homie sent that pile", simultaneously dissing you, lowering expectations of Woodson in general, and co-opting the few stray climbers -- such as you -- who were swapped at birth by unscrupulous Riverside locals as part of their master plan to artificially warp the Rouxbidoux gestalt and load the Woodson/Roubidoux dice.

This offer is also available to Kevin and Jonny, providing they pass a rigorous oral exam and donate a substanital sum to the 501(3)(c) American Legend travel and spiritual development fund.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Sort of.

Truth of the matter is I've been more of a Woodson local than a Rubidoux local for a few years now. However, with the number of times I make it there in a year calling myself a local is a big, big stretch. Bottom line, with the new problem potential and the aesthetics of Woodson, why bother going to Rubidoux when it doesn't have much of either. Well, unless of course one wants to do some problems that are actually hard, but that's a different story. Nonetheless, it's still fun to play the Rubidoux trump card when I want to take a trick.

Did you bump your head? I'm not getting anywhere near the VP's Office. Although I would like to watch KP on it.

March might be kind of warm this year, given how it's been going so far. Like as in hot kind of warm. Just in case you thought there might be some cold kind of warm.

Safe to say that you're having some perfect climbing temps out that way still? A bit of rain in the forecast?

Anybody up for a mob session on woodson this spring? Im stopping short of calling one. I did that last year and was unanimously ignored.

Still, its always a good time, so whats it gonna take to get your lame, elderly butts out there? Apparently the lack of incentives like raffles, magic shows and photo sessions with your favorite woodson legends killed last years attempt before it got off the ground.

Silly me, I thot the climbing and camraderie would be a good enough draw.

gonamok, I just did that line (with a rope) a couple weeks ago for the first time. Best line on the boulder in my opinion, though I haven't done the Woodward Direct.

Epi and I saw Ron do that variation he has marked in the photo. Footwork instensive. It may actually be a problem where being FAT is an asset!
