they asked. I politely declined. I have manners.

You of all people know that some of the most influential writers didn't pay attention to all of the commonly held literary rules of their time. I'm just pushing the envelope here.

Man, Jobs has unintentionally created of mob of smug iHippies and I can already tell they are going to be more difficult to deal with. They will shield themselves from my attack with their cute white pieces of inferior technology.

Literary rules are one thing, spelling is entirely another! You can push rules all you want, but if you cannot spell then no one will read what you are writing (****, what are we doing :ugh:).

Oh, I'm far worse than an iHippie! I run Linux buddy, I shield myself with mountains of archaic computers running hundreds of different distro's. Just because I can.

I prepared for over a year for a climb on "North American Wall" called Wyoming Sheep Ranch (A4, one of the hardest climbs down there).

I friend (who was to lead the hard stuff) fell and broke his leg ... so after a year of preparation it was time to tuck tail, or go for it. The other kid there had a little climbing experience and said he would follow if I led all the pitches ... 60% of the people who start Zodiac back off before pitch 7 ... we went over the top

Another good picture of God


Group in front of us .. their ropes blowing straight up in the air ... very dangerous stuff indeed.

Anyway, this was towards the top ... we were low on food and partner and I were actually fighting over a bag of dried hippy fruit ... which he possessed and I wanted. We yelled at each other for a bit ... then he relented and handed me the bag ... which I promptly dropped.

It fell about 100' when the wind caught it. With the weight of a few pieces of fruit still in the bottom, the bag started to "helicopter" and over the next few moments ... in total silence, we watched it fly back up to us, and then continue on up out of site .... violent laughter followed ... I think God was pleased.

So, like how long were you on there?

8 days up, 1.5 days off ... we hiked out at dawn ... in the rain (it was snowing on top), I had broken my index finger and hyper-extended my pointer finger on the way down, before the 4, 200' raps, with 120 pounds of pig/gear on.

I was cold, wet, hungery, very thirsty, exhausted. When I hit the car … I could do nothing but weep.

Much like other walls (climbed Washington column (yos 3 days) the year before), did a solo attempt on leaning tower (yos 2 days), solo’ed Prodigal son in Zion (2 days). Solo’ed Moon light buttress in Zion (2 days) … all before this climb.

That's creepy lookin

You typically only have two ropes ... your dynamic lead line and your static haul line. Granit is all about flakes, and ropes get stuck in flakes very easily.

A stuck rope, especially where the rope has blown around a corner ... can be very very bad news indeed
