I'll take pictures Grug. Then we can go do the first over 100+ yr old ascent of Tripmaster Monkey!

You don't have to climb upside down, do you? I only do right-side-up routes.

FEET, FEET, FEET. How many sit-ups can you do? This will help. Not Falling out of it was the hardest thing for me. Which I did. Doug mentions bomb-bay, not really but it has that feel.

Oh, One more thing. In my prime I don’t think I could climb this route.
It takes a special talent for sure! Way to go Jay.
Hope to see you, ED, Suff and maybe Robinson this year?
Bruce.

Thanks! Though one does not battle, Lucille. One arrives in an appropriate frame of mind and body and she accepts or rejects her suitors... ;-)

Ahh ha, I see... are you saying that attempts at seduction and sweet talk are futile... a battling mentality does not play to her sensibilities...? she sees through to your soul and her decision is exacting... Either a cold hearted potentially violent rebuff, or a warm hugging embrace with passage through to the sun... She knows she is desired, and plays a little hard-to-get, so it seems... I can tell it takes a lot to earn her respect. ;)

Bump with thanks for the perennial invitation, Dogtown.
Won't be strong enough for more than a spectator at the feet of Lucille. On the other hand I'm pushing the XC track skiing already, and getting noticeably stronger background fitness, and have Sierra rock projects to hone that later. So I am hoping to try some of the other stout challenges nearby.
What a paradise of stone Vedauwoo is! I've been out in the Buttermilk lately, working on Smoke Blanchard's rock course (Jaybro too!), and I like to sort of squint my eyes and peer over the horizon and think of Vedauwoo a thousand miles away, so like a sister outcrop clear on the other edge of the Great Basin.

Aha! It's the berries of Gingko that smell just like dog-doo. Not the nuts. You read that exchange about eating G-B nuts in the Road to L thread? Had me wondering!
You must avoid stepping on the berries, kids.
If you really want to f*#k with someone, put the berries in their climbing shoes. If you can take the stink. It's fierce! Bag it! Send it to someone far away you dislike.
Theworld is packed with radness and danger. And there's only one gingko.

Awesome thread, awesome story! Jaybro, great dedication to get this thing done. What a proud send. Was it a known project or did someone tell you about it originally? Or did you just find it while out wandering around?? Either way what a prize!
Thanks again very inspirational story.
