That's a good one. Little chance of recovery though. It may take 13 steps or more. The only cure would be abstinence.
NEVER!!!!

Hrm, wonder if I can convince the guys to hit up KFerry after a columbia session tomorrow?
Definitely Carrizo. Pick a weekend. I'm in.
Even the AAC supports this stuff...

Tar, rest assured that I wasn't impugning your knowledge of the subject.
That stuff did look fair to licheny which can provide a worthy experience
on its own merits. I can recall being nearly blinded and rendered
instantly asthmatic on a few occasions. :-/

Munge, you kinda look like John Cleese atop the castle wall shouting obscenities regarding mothers in boots and elderberries.
Next thing he'll do is fling cows at you!!

This choss is in New Zealand. You can't see it but Andrew in the pic is actually toe hooking to prevent falling into space, what with being upside down and all.

Some of these pix (thanks for sharing BTW) look like good stone. Let me show you what TRUE choss is.
