Last time I was at Gold Wall (Table Mountain) it was a bit more crowded
than I expected.
One guy was making a series of phone calls (and he didn't have a soft
voice) to solicit move beta on a climb he was trying to lead!
I mean, he was on the ground between attempts, but still, looking at the
holds from 30 ft away, or even hanging from the bolt right there, wasn't
quite cutting it.
Man, back in the good old days we didn't even have good cell phone
connections at some of the more exclusive crags.
Kids these days!!

Scuffy,
If you're in the valley this weekend feel free to look
for me in all the usual places! My doc gave me a looser leash...
(No hammering for at least 3 months but I can ease back into climbing)

Locker that made me roll on the ground laughing my ass off. Now I'm dirty from rolling on the ground. 5.0- you sandbagger.

Italians even figured it out WAY before the pot smoking Yosemite crack climbers....to be a great climber, you must climb bolted faces .......it's the only way to advance the sport....
