you have to store your digital images online e.g. photobucket or flickr, etc.
then paste the URL for the image between two 'tags'
sorta like this...
[img]http://www.flickr.com/image.jpg[/img#]
but take out the "#" character in the second tag!!!

I always think that when someone "counts" how many routes they have done on a cliff or an area or how many times they have done a particular route, that they are not traveling enough. I guess it's human nature to want to find and nurture a "comfort zone"- too bad.

Then you better throw away your harness and rope.
Then you better start sleeping on a bed of nails.
Then you better start, etc. etc. etc ......

eKat - If I supplied you a route name for the fall, might you be motivated to produce a small batch? Can you paint my crab?

quite aqueous is right....
The bivy on pitch two reminded me of chinese water torture....
"Hey Pete..."
Drip
"yeah, Leo"
Drip
"Are you catching any of those?"
Drip
"Any of what?"
Drip
"Any of those F*cking drips!"
Drip
"Ahhhh, no. maybe every now and then..."
Drip
"hmmmmm"
Aftre two nights on that bivy, Pete thought it would be good to bivy under the trip's roof at pitch four.... Basically, I graduated from the Chinese water torture and bivied in a shower. After 380 some odd nights, Pete knows to pick his bivy spot. note that he is under the roof, where there are no water streaks.... Now look at the poor little bugger on the left, enjoying a jet shower head right at the black water streak....

Pete was the perfect partner if your goal was to savor the flavor...
We almost never moved a limb in an an upward attempt before noon, spent a lot of time taking in the journey, making a point of getting comfortable up there.
I could have taken as much or as little time to lead a pitch or perform any of the big wall tasks.... it didn't matter.
Pete was happy just to be on big stone.... since we had enough provisions and gear for another week ( on top of the nine nights we spent up there ), there was no doubt in our minds we were going to summit. with that pressure taken off, we could just relax, laugh a lot, come up with the most random anecdotes and unusual conversations, have quite a few wine tasting nights ( complete with seven different types of cheese and several different types of crackers ), discuss music, art, philosophy and, incidentally, if we felt like it, climb....
As pete says - " climbing is just a way to get to the most bitchin' camp sites..."

I heard that Tucker Tech once soloed 4 walls (on the captain) back to back.
Can someone attest to the truth of this rumor?
Now, I also heard that he would haul by clipping the pig off to his belay loop and jumaring with it while he cleaned! ho-man!
