First, I have to vehemently disagree with ddavis upthread--real climbers don't do anything with moderation.
But in the spirit of this thread . . .
. . . I submit A Texan from Space . . .

Mike., can you help me figure out what is about to happen in your photo above the caption "Where the hell are you going, dude?"
If I had to guess, I'd say you've soloed, rapped, and jugged/cleaned a pitch that traverses a ton, but didn't lower out your bags when you were back at your lower anchor? Doesn't seem right though.
Edit: The pic of the Mushroom is wild!

Hey, if there existed an old guidebook photo of me at peak handsomeness, leading the
Bridge of Khazad-Dûm, I'd be posting that with no cover charge too!
No such luck.

That was my non-directional anchor!
The topo sez, there's a runout on Tarbuster's lead above.

Peak handsomeness will return when this hair growth stimulator starts to work.
The head jam scraped all my hair off.

Yea Chiloe with all due respect to whoever I was making that caption towards, but that was the first thing that came to mind. I have no doubt that kid cranks and probably would climb circles around me.
Best Regards

That hair restorer looks evil. I bet it's converting your votes.
