Will do. Not a huge fan of his husband, she makes all the tight hand cracks look easy.

Well, in Elcap's defense my first thought when I saw that shot was ... Damn! I should have taken that thing off!! But it did seem to help me get up that finger crack faster....

Yeah I had stated that Ron Kauk had done "Columbo Crack" first but it was in the mid '70's...As I had done all of the harder cracks that were there at the time by age 15...

It just cracks me up when people "thong" their cordothingamabob. Looks like some serious potential for discomfort in the wrong circumstances.
I do love that Woodson stone, need to get down there more.

Watusi!
Super cool.
Thanks for posting up. You are someone I'd definitely like to see more of on these Woodson threads. Any other classic FAs/tales you'd care to share? Kauk's, yours, others, etc I'm all ears man. Crack a beer and start rambling. Hope you're well.

If Shirley were almost anyplace else it'd be a popular 4-bolt sport lead. Yikes.

I know, it doesn't see much traffic so nobody has had a chance to bolt it yet, unfortunately. I've got some shiny ones clinking around in the bottom of my pack, I'll toss them up the next time I'm out there. Probably early next week.

I'm sure someone has led it on gear, or I would hope so.

Live. Better than the other option, lol!! Midnight runs now is it. Work hard, play hard dude ;)
Nothing so exciting for us today. Feeling old and slow, Patty and I went up to work on our cracks trying to build some stamina for IC with Donini (hopefully). So after the obligatory warm up, we set up on Robbins Crack and ran laps. Yup, LT, I lead it with 2 pieces and no hangs. I really wanted to place one in the steep section and then work through it to the rest. 8 laps total for us.
What kills me is hanging and placing pro, then futzing with the clipping and such. I suppose the best way to get better at this and build strength is to just do it? Or following WL's rules, be the rope gun any and all the times you can get away with it. Helps to have Patty saying I better get it done so's she can start running laps, lol!

Practice, practice, practice. Or, y'know, as I like to say, just climb a lot. You'll be able to set a piece and clip it in the flutter of a gnat's eyelash.
