I love that pic for your profile. That movie was interesting for sure. I am a retired chef. My soups are great! I cook every night. Climb by day. Eat and drink at night. Repeat 20x in a month.

Oh: movie aficionado. Forgot that.

You’re a dillhole of many talents, somewhat like the mighty Wuldier.

You go, boy.

You know, i've been volunteering on a 100 acre farm for free food all year and i have never heard of a dill hole? Other than the hole made by the transplant tractor and then a guy puts the plant in it. Yes i have a aftermarket plate on the bottom of my Prius protecting against the dings and anyone dumb enough to try and steal my catalytic converter.

That's fine. sometimes i see those guys. I am done in 6 hours, you probably 3 or 4 hours. When i did Sunshine, Red Cloud and Handies in a day, (20) miles, it took me 12 hours

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

You go, boy.

i can lead 5.8.

I wish you realized who you were talking to. I have more skills than you realize. I am almost a professional climber, and was a guide for 8 years.

Are you the same guy that has a goal to climb 5.13 this year? Nope he can't lead 5.8 yet.
i like my guides to be in the .10 range

I agree. NO goal for 5.13. I broke my neck in 2008. Haven't done much above 5.10 since then. I was a 5.11 climber, and for a guide that is good enough to scare a lot of people.

I clearly said i can lead 5.8? So yes, i can climb 5.8 solid. I can climb 5.9 and 5.10 occasionally. Question that guy asked me was "what can i lead" - at present 5.8

What did you do in the Valley? I climbed there for years. Also interested what you did on the east coast. Did you mention the Gunks? I climbed there for several years too.

[angry]

I really needed to laugh today. Thanks for this. Seriously.
