Barefoot? Ouch! Rocks are sharp. Good way to exfoliate those feet though.
So how hot is it down there? How early do you have to get out to beat the heat?

Excellent work rocking that!
I went to Wishon yesterday, but all the photos are on my friend's camera. I'll post them ASAP, but her daughters are coming to visit for 2 weeks so I doubt my pics are a priority for her.

Um, do you have a photo of the route? :D
So how old are the cougars that chase Tucker? 80? They still have some life in them.

Yeah I can see the photo, but it doesn't show the route. Just Tucker's ass. It must be cut off or something odd.

Park.......best location for a climber on the planet......there are 2 caretakers there...both climbers....and they have done over 400 first ascents in the last 3 years on the property......amazing motivation...and all the routes where climbed while they were intoxicated......powered by booze.......alcohol inspiration.....


Climbing & drinking on the job eh, glad to see hes taking it seriously! :roll:

Of course all this was before he got hired im sure ;)

Todd, I am very happy that little Von is able to climb. I know we all make our own happiness in life, and we must choose happiness, but I wish that road be an easy one for him.

I would like to top-rope that 5.9. Oops, did I admit that? Top ropes are for noobs and wussies ...
I love top-roping!
