BITD (70s) I used to smoke it up, and free solo around Yo-sem-ite and Tu-a-lum-ne with a fanny pack and tape player blasting Jimi Hendrix. When I free-soloed the Great White Book I also liked to carry an open can of beer with me. Anchor's Away was my first 5.11.
Man, I love the Apron

OK, is 4.20 some rating thing?
No pro, maybe a rope, no rope, we smoked it...
Is it Lembert Dome yet?

BITD, we named Stoners Stoners because we liked to be on the stone.
Kinda like surfers like to be on the surf.
I had no idea this many climbers were actually climbing under the influence of illegal narcotics.
shocking - how can you guys participate in such a dangerous activity while impaired?
Warbler as Captain Renault in Casablanca: "shocked, shocked!"

"herbal interactions"--*giggle*
"no shit"--man, that's FUBAR, unlike 1/4" bolts
It was Ganja that gotcha in the frame of mind to climb.
I climbed once on hashish, never again.
It wasn't on the Apron slab, however, whose location alone makes all things seen seem to come under the climber's sway, a refreshing, liberating feeling. Pot would logically expand this natural feeling of superiority.
Rather, it was on The Green Strip, a route which is apparently lost to the mists of time, but was or is part of the Open Books left of Yosemite Falls.
I was ill-at-ease and vaguely quasi-queasy/iffy-wiffy on TGS and told myself it was uncool/stupid to feel so helpless/incompetent.
T-SHIRT
It is what it is,
Or is it what it seems it is?
Think of anything but the move,
Or nothing.
Ganja will do that,
So can you.
My certainty was in question, certainty,
Now that I,ve thoughten about it.
5.9 slab, let's go to the bistro.
DITHER & SLITHER
It seems I took too
long,
Thinking too much,
and was
Not reacting smooth. [ly]
EDIT
I've changed my mind.
I could climb and enjoy it.
Hash butter rocks.

So if you're getting high in order to ease the stress of harrowing run-outs can this be considered "doping"?

Talk about six degrees of seperation......
We did a climb on the apron this weekend called "deep throat".
Then I saw that people have been bumping the pot thread and read about an older adventure up the thing.
We were shooting for the mouth but our stuff was on a ledge a pitch up under the route so we didn't do the traverse as we were afraid of not being able to get the stuff and the green guide didn't show a "b" belay at the mouth so we thought we'd finished it. First pitch is no beginners 5.7 either.
Yowza! Wish I was stoned for it! Jaywood got the 5.9 run. He was so into trying to survive that he didn't see the bolt which is off and up right, ran it straight passed the anchors and clipped the bolt to the beginning of the traverse before I reminded him that there was a belay up there somewhere. The technical crux was by far the easiest part of the climb. I'm thinking of buying some old EB's and a ounce before I head over to the Apron again. We get into nothing but trouble over there.

To answer the OP's question, yes, I believe that the ethics of the FA require that you also blaze first if you want to claim an onsight.

I named an FA ‘Waiting to Exhale,’ not after the movie, but for my two partners getting baked at the belays. I’d look back and even from around a corner, there were clouds of weed billowing upwards.

Smoking was not just limited to free climbing. Hard aid climbing is pretty heady stuff, and it is important to keep your focus. More than once I have pulled up the smoke on the trail line and taken a bong hit or two while standing on a tied off blade or RURP. I don't know what people do in the modern age of beaks and heads, but that's how a lot of it went down in the iron age.

What is it about cracks that can't be solved with a little psychic help?
Is it that slabs do not require so much physical effort (in the lower grades, especially)?
Or is it much more FUN to put your mind in cruise control n just do the moves with seeming grace and fluitidy (as Norwegyne might say)?
Ponder this while toking up next time.
And don't use your chalk to get high. It's not gonna work.

Never liked pot or slab climbing that much but, back in around 73 my girlfriend (who became my second ex wife) showed up in Camp 4. Somehow a bunch of us ended up at the Apron and several, me included, dropped acid. I proceeded, so I am told, to climb a 5.6/7 slab barefoot and naked and sit down at the halfway point.
Those were the 70’s.
