I think Doug was looking for an excuse to flaunt his spelling skills.
Edit: Good catch Off White.

Way to jump right in and misconstrue, X15. Theres a difference between saying "beta sucks" and "unwanted beta sucks", and can you guess what that difference is? Right! Theres an extra word in the second quote that changes the meaning to "beta that I didnt ask for".
I shamelessly, openly, and with full knowing consent, pump anybody who can help me for beta when I need it (read that carefully).
I just hate it when Im working a problem and some clown out of the blue starts yelling "left foot high, dude, then match". Everybody has their own thing. I will ask when I need directions.

Ron, move your hands off the keyboard...No, wait! A little further away...yeah, that's it, now get out of your chair and step to the left, a little further...that's it! Now, keep walking, careful now, a bit more, yeah, now you got it. Now, DYNO! Did ya reach the bucket O' books you've been reading? I knew you would! That was a pretty cool bit of history you shared the last we talked.

The Bat Flake post was an April Fools thing. I was hoping the Rubidoux comment would send out a red flag.

Well yeah, those Rubberblow guys are alright, you can't be held responsible for an accident of birth.
Now why they still live near there is quite another thing...

Doug - there were some things that seemed amiss with your post. I had the definite feeling something was fishy but wasn't sure where you were going with it. I have to admit I was cautiously starting to take the bait to find out. Fortunately, Off White spooked me off so I didn't get completely reeled in. Good one. Suffice it to say I now owe you one - in spite of my inattentiveness.
Off White - Rubberblow? I don't believe I know where that is. Perhaps you meant Rubberduck or Rubberdick instead? Actually, I haven't lived close to the place for quite some time now. In spite of that it still serves a useful purpose for taking pot shots. (Disparage it all you like, it's still the standard for judgement.)

Yah, just a token pose in the old so-cal rivalry game. Pointless knee jerk reaction anyway, as I've lived 900 miles away from there for a very long time now. Still, the nickname just popped into my head and I had to let it out, best to not let those things fester. You're never heard it before? I don't think I just made it up...

I cut a trail last week to a little group of boulders I call the beans n franks, but I didnt get a good look at them until today, when I decided there was enough potential to warrant some brush removal. A brush eradication frenzy ensued and I cleared the whole area, then put up 2 problems that arent worth naming, but I did anyway. Asscrack is a beautiful 12 ft. tall 5.8 hand crack, and the wanker wall features face from 5.5 to 5.7. The cleaver climbs a dicey 5.3 arete to the crux, a 5.7+ roof move. (Yes, pity is appropriate here).
There are harder problems that I wont be doing, so after I finish the trailwork Ill post the location. Stay tunedthe glorious "asscrack" on the leftpotential face problemI like this one. It is really aesthetic and will probably be pretty hardthe wanker wallthe cleaver

I have had this exploration bug for more than a month now, breaking brush to virgin boulders (i know this because the only way to access them is to cut a trail) to have a look-see. Im finding some good stuff, but my most recent foray turned up some classic short crack problems, among other things. This stuff was hacked out of dense brush and hasnt been climbed yet. This one is a roof move from full horizontal body position with good hand jams. Turning the lip will require a long stretch past the pinched off section to good finger locks.
Two views of a similar roof problem, starting fully laid out, but on finger locks instead of hand jams. There was even a 3rd roof crack problem in the area, as well as good face climbs and some overhanging jug problems.
When the trail is done Im gonna post this location too. I used to wait till I did all the problems I could manage before publicizing a new area, but since i cant crank the wayrads anymore, Im giving them away. Its so close to established stuff I cant believe it.

I'm tellin' ya, this is why my climbing career even existed, finds such as what Ron and others discovered. Then I, and most of the other climbers in the sport, get to enjoy the toils that somebody else put a HECK of a lot of time and effort establishing. Thank God for people like you Ron! I'd love to see the smiles that'll come to your face when the the "young guns" of the next generation get to be the first to crank off these gems! Sentimental value if you ask me. Cool stuff.
