OK, so has anyone done a structural/geomorphological analysis on Boot Flake? Some sort of vibration analysis? Sumpthin' at all?? or is it just serious low-hanging scientific fruit (high-hanging rock)?

Any degree of measuring would affect the rock and therefore corrupt the experiment.
Leave the calipers at home, their employment would be fruitless. Confirm with Largo.
Just remember: "you cannot kiss your own lips."
Experience is the thing - the Holy Grail - on Boot Flake. (Not to mention a positive attitude.) And this experience is really not something "we can clasp with calipers or jam into a test tube."
Also, it's open-ended, really, whether Boot Flake is, in and of itself, traditional "material."
How am I doing? :)

I know, I know - I was looking at those photos and it made me do a little taco search then a little written a-wonderin'.
I fell asleep sitting next to the flake on Jackson-Johnson on Hallett Peak in RMNP, had a dream that I ate a rock, and woke to find the flake was gone.

"I Get a Kick Out of You"
Cole not Charlie
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me cold.
The exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
Some, they may go for cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time
I see you standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick--um you give me a boot--I get a kick out of you.

But if it were not a troll looking to get someone's goat, then the dirtbags would have gotten gainful employment, much like this gang.
I would like to see Bear Grylls as the gang boss in this clip from Blazing Saddle Shoes.

The NPS might have had to think about massive Viagara* shots for El Cap Spire.
Stop taking Viagara if you experience erections that last longer than 20,000 years and see your doctor.
*Viagara is a new drug designed to put the pizazz back in scenic wonder.

Nature, I suspect there would be some serious karmic payback if I went up there with a crowbar... too funny! :D

This reminds me of the one a few years back about the cobra. I had been gone for a few weeks and I didn't put together the date. I was like damn. I never climbed that friggin' thing and now it fell over! I should get on top of that thing before it really does fall.
