Last pitch of the North Chimney, Castleton Tower-Utah.

Posted by climbingtrash on 4/13/2007
Last pitch of the North Chimney, Castleton Tower-Utah.

See how the lead rope is looping up from the first piece of gear, that's how hard the wind was blowing that day. I had to keep my foot on the tag line to keep it from all blowing around the corner.

That's a disposable camera shot, phot shopped or Not that is a Sweet pic. And Impressive cuz Disposable camera's take on average crappy pics.

Yeah bex, the pic I scanned does look like crap and I was suprised how well it turned out after a little tweaking.
You read me like a cheap novel GB...I was thinking of a new slogan for the ladies that goes something along the lines of "Sorry boys...The only thing I ever blow are clips!" What do you think of that Bex?




Bex says:

<em>Bex</em>'s picture

Niiice.

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

You may be a cheap novel Trash, but at least you're a hard bound, not a paperback.

Bex says:

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

all good things begin in the gutter, don't they? where is this post going anyway? I have no idea what it's about anymore and missed the heated inuendos between Bex and GB on Saturday it seems. and now they've dragged young Spudz into the fracas too.(Remember, he's 9 I think from that posted photo with the dog, or was it 11?)

Bex says:

<em>Bex</em>'s picture

inuedndo's really....I'll have to look, I can't remember or corruption of the young is my specialty.

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

(o yea don't bring WC into your faces) [remember hes 70]

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

Bex, isn't this fun to antagonize the youngster?

Bex says:

<em>Bex</em>'s picture

Hellz ya...So sad that I'm nearly twice Spudz age yet I could pass as 14 looks wise.

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

Don't use such big words Woody, Spudz can't understand.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

2 times spudz = 1 Bex woodchuck/4 = spudz 2XSpudz + 1 Bex = ?? karma in math...

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

Umm, let me see. the answer is GB and CW to the third power. Right?
Licentia Haud Vestigium

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

naw, they screwed up the spacing I left between equations when they loaded it. Guess they do it to save space and didn't figure on math problems.
2xSpudz + 1 Bex was supposed to be a separate problem = to ME, woodchuck.

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

woodchuck=(bex44)(gb5)(spudz9999)

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

in other words woodchuck = old

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

dam, he got even with me on that one. 14! HA! I've got climbing shoes older than you!

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

i dont have climbing shoes older than you

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

they'd be dust if they were

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

what'dya talking about? they din't HAVE climbing shoes when I was born. They had bare neanderthal feet.

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

Woody has bunions older thank you too Spudz.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

whats neanderthal feet

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

I might have some calices older than you, shit I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive. And don't worry, you'll learn about Neanderthal Man in High School ;D
Licentia Haud Vestigium

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture

you might have some chalices but not from climbing

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

ooooh, GB, he got you there.! I got no bunions, that's for sure. Just no toe nails as they've been crushed and not grown back well since an ice climb/frostbite/crushed toes ordeal about 20 years ago. Not quite an epic Messner kind of tale, but bad enough.

gonzobeer says:

<em>gonzobeer</em>'s picture

Did you have a bad day at daycare Spudz? You're being mean today :)
Licentia Haud Vestigium

Spudz says:

<em>Spudz</em>'s picture
