Jaybro, Just looked at the write-up on Tripmaster Monkey. How many times to i have to tell you, I DON'T DO feet above the head shenanigans. I'm a working class kind of OW climber...armbars...the occasional chicken wing...
Edit - maybe it's not too late to teach an old dog new tricks.

Stack your hands and your knee will follow,
Then, when the natural urge to avoid failure strikes you, huck that psoriasis riddled stump up o'er yer grayin' head!

eegrugee, yeah, but, I've been to the base before, so I can't onsight, it has to be you!
Old dawgs style edit; what better place to try something new? haven't read the write up. But it's a different climb the day we go there. Also (don't know if it was mentioned in what you refered to) Mr Jackson's comment about that route was made by a fit young man in his prime, probably has no relevence to experienced indivuals such as ourselves.heehee
or, we could have a beer, and let Tar take us up horn's mother (I'm planning on enough hand carnage that tape is mandatory, by then)

Neither Jaybro...Dick Lugar the Porn Star. It's my latest day job. I did not know about the Barney Miller connection, but we do love our congressman! And you are correct, Max Factor is not so off-witty...I upgraded it to Maxilash (sp?)...they all blend together after all these b-years!

Lemme see if I can help eeyonkee,
Here's what I "know", in the biblical sense, meaning, you know:
Friday 13th 1st pitch
Boardwalk
4th July
Max Factor
Cool Hand Luke
Hung Like a Horse
Flying Buttress
Curry’s Diagonal
Notice hardly more than a body length of wide on any of that.
But I paid my dues in the Valley on OW, honest.
Also, this all was done before I got, well...really stocked up on excuses.
Besides Horns Mama,
Here's my list of to do's,
And no, Spectreman ain't on it, mostly fluff and wish list stuff here:

Great list, Eeyokee, (Tar's list (how did I forget flying buttress came up as I was hunt and pecking (just the ones he "know's" would make a five star climbing trip) all worthy, I've led them all.
Right Torpedo Tube
-I though it was the hardest thing I'd ever done when I led an early ascent in ~82, perfect for your big fists; Scarpelli free soloed it once in a Luebben-related rage.
Left Torpedo Tube
-Killer, (one of the John Garson mission climbs, also see B-g crack) I've done it many times,I think I have a date to go up it with, d'antonio, come along, let's have a party!
Horn's Mother - a true off fists classic, not to be missed, I don't expect to ever solo it again
October Light-pure blue coller armbaring and chicken winging; forever. I did the second ascent, I think, not sure if I can go that far without puking, these days.
Suggestions, You've probably done bunches of these, but:
The climb & Punishment, Penis Dimesnion, Hung like a horse alcove; if you haven't been there, you won't believe how cool it is!™
Mainstreet, 10a ow
nearby Bell crack (10/11) and Boardwalk (11), all must do's, if you haven't. Around the corner from Horn's.
Fourth of July is in that same area and is the full Vedauwoo experience; ow to flaring fingers .12a (tee hee!) One of the best pitches anywhere (think Tales, Enduro, Nine lives, etc) ask Tar for (onsight, tapeles,stetson) Beta.
'Some guy's' solo is good for a warm up, big pink will give you a workout. I hear worm drive is good.
Friday the thirteenth, ignore the alleged belay below the first roof!
Easy stuff;
Ed's crack, 5.7, is my favorite climb of all time.
Fall Wall for sandbag slabbin'
Fear & Loathing " " plus OW
Sattefield
H & H Grunt
Piton Perch (semi optimal summit)
Cat's Cradle " ")
Thomas McGary
CupCake crack, of course (points lost for roping up)
seen here, somewhat enhanced
There are stacks more, but that should be a start.

What do you have in mind for SUNDAY???

Uh, so where's the penalty in THAT. Hmmm, that reminds me. Just about going home time...time for my 34 oz Fosters oil can. I hope I don't, like, pull a wrist muscle or something.
