Wow! Two shots up looks like Karl's Error...But I could be wrong, my compatriot Karl Mueller actually e-mailed me today, was glad to hear from one of our core original So-Cal bruthas!!!:)
Edit: But also super shot Ron of that one that I had never seen before, (I think...sometimes...)...Cheers! And my vote for you as... "Mr.Woodson Dude"...

I finally climbed Laker Girls on Friday afternoon. The temps were cool and I had the thing pretty sauced after working on it for multiple days over the past two years. My tips were thin and my feet were hurting pretty bad as I kept falling but getting closer. I finally gave it one more go with my friends new shoes (TC pro's) that are a size bigger than my TC's since my feet hurt so bad. I hit every move perfectly. While working it, I was thinking it was mid to hard .12 but on the send, it felt like .12a.

Not sure if it helped but, I also had a couple of 24oz. Modelo's, a few hits of the devil weed, and Peter Gabriel's I Have the Touch playing. Bad Ass.

Oh yeah Johnny you KNOW those beers contributed to the send. I cant believe how many people are trying to climb without beer these days.
Congrats on getting a major testpiece.

"I can't believe how many people try to climb with out beers these days." Huuuhhh???? WTF???? I wouldn't consider climbing WITHOUT beers! God what is this place coming to???? I remember the last Woodson Gathering, Prebble aka Jack Marshall took great pains to haul a LOAD of beers ON ice, up the road and was liberally handing them out to any takers! When I needed to find him I just followed the trail of water, from melting ice to his location. Now that is an effort to be applauded!
Peace

I just got back from a trip to Woodson. Not much climbing was done, but essentially all the spray paint around the Jaws/Baby Robbins area is now gone. While this wasn't an official ACSD event, they supplied all of the paint remover and equipment we used, and most of the crew up there were members. If you're a local climber and not a member of ACSD, consider joining. They do amazing work, and were just recognized by the Access Fund as one of the most effective local non-profits working for access in the country.

Josh, again, thanks for taking care of that. It looks really clean in there again. I'm sure it'll take a bit for the fumes to dissipate for I was getting pretty high just standing around the area. Btw, I found some shades perched in a tree there in the corridor. Let me know if you, Elliot, et al left them.

Yep, that's Karl's Error, Mike. I posted last year that I ran into Karl's brother, Kurt, whom I went to high school with, hiking up and over the hill via the paved road. Didn't inquire the whereabouts of Karl although, last I heard, he was in CO?

"I had the thing pretty sauced"
Johnny, shouldn't this read, "I was pretty sauced"?

who climbed and bolted the rock off bunny king rd in Ramona? My friend owns the ranch next to the rock. He says the bolts are at lest 30 years old. the rock is on county property but to get to it you have to cross private property. It is just north west the Barnett ranch house and barn. My friend calls it turtle rock. Its a sweet overhang. has to be 5.11-12. I'm just looking for beta as im going to project this thing someday soon.
