A little bump from a little guy. A couple of weeks ago at an undisclosed location.
Damn those shoes hurt and it's all Charles' fault.

"PURPLE DAZ" (three bolts on(110')P1, 2 bolts (90')P2...5.11ish)Stone Mountain, NC, where there is nothing but Slab and Runouts that make oh many shake their heads and walk away when they look up at and see, well they try to see, "where are the bolts?" on over 75% of the routes!

Hey Shorty,
'Might be a little bump and you might be a little guy, but sheeesh, that's a big file.
Lisa says it looks like an ocean of rock.
You look well babe, keep it up, don't ever change; let's do lunch!
Anyhoo -it's been too long for me to ID it well; Dome Rock?

there is 3 pitch 5.8 slab route across the river from the single pitch climbs at consumnes river gorge in No Cal. A friend who had more balls then me led it with me belaying and another buddy coming up after on a second rope. Stuck in the middle again.
The pro was old bolts every 20 or 30 feet (early 80's). I made all the moves with a top rope easily enough thru the first Two pitches , but hanging at those two1/4 inch bolt belays with him 25 feet out was too much for me. I never trusted gear I didn't place myself. I would have rather hung on a couple nuts but there wern't any cracks anyway(we didn't have and could not afford friends). Sean, who led every pitch , finished the last one in great style but I whimped out and pendulumed off to the side and easy ground. That shows how far it was to that first bolt on the third pitch. The third member of our party was just a wee bit peeved at not being able to climb the route.
Give me a micro wedge or a tied off LA, just dont make me hang off a couple old 1/4 inchers with the leader thirty feet out and 300 feet up. Yikes.

Roy, 2 things.
I got the shoes today and they fit great. Can't wait to try them out in TM in a couple weeks. Thanks loads.
Check out the thread from a week ago about that other national park. It ain't in the park but is in that other spot we were going on about. It's 6 pitches to the top although the first pitch is kind short too. Nothing hard or proud, just lots of fun. It also helps when your partner is young, cute, and lots of fun (and of the opposite sex).
We will be in the Meadows for lots of August. You should make the mad dash over and spend a couple days playing. We only climb hard some of the days. Us old guys need lots of rest days, don't ya know.
