Has gmanfairlyfaggot , the wog, the toy boy and the ryobi shown up yet? You need to take the frog sticky date puncher out and show him some gay mexican netball Simon.

Yeah!!! I was'nt about to put in all that effort an not stand on top! but it was more of a crouch and
hanging on for dear life to my lead rope, cos the wind was gusting pretty hard, but on and off- so you
could,nt lean against it or it would die down and you'd fall off!

PS: in response to some comments about a pitons in the first pitch crack, the vague memory of when
I did the route both times, that there was two in the crack but I didn't use them as they looked so bad,
but there are also some fixed RP's and ther junk on some Aid routes that go up above the first pitch,
as it wrapes around 3 different sides of the tote on it's way to the half way ledge.
Also the official hight is listed as 50m the first original pitch is only 10m in hight gain, but uses 25m of
rope, the second pitch is 40m and has 10 FH, equipment list is 6 bolt brackets, cams to #3, and 15
draws, luckily the top anchor is now a set of rings or U bolts rather than the collection of manky pins
arrows rurps and rusting shit that I had to use to create my tirolene anchor from!

Bomba --- for the 3rd time, PLZ , I need some beta re the ' every hold '...

>What about the size , positiveness of the holds , near the bolts , on the 2nd pitch ?

i.e. is it relatively easy to hang around at the bolts to clip them on pitch 2 ?

Yeah they've shown up at Araps and are doing a good job of giving climbers a bad name. There was a party at my place on Saturday and while everyone cut loose on the dance floor, they sat around and read climbing magazines. Lame.

They have fallen their way up a few routes at Araps, although I was more impressed with Vincent's form at the skate park. That boy has got style.

OK ... nearly beta-saturated ... between 1/4 and 4/5 it's 'grade 25'... sustained 5.11/5.12 ... I understand that ... however ... what grade is most of this section ... or sections of this section ... it cant all be 25 , cos then ppl WOULD grade it 26/27 ...

What do you want to know that hasn't already been said?

26/27 is nonsense. It is soft touch at 25 and could easily be graded 24. Craglets actually graded the second pitch 23 when they first wrote it up (although I almost choked when I first read that - obviously someone was having a good day when they repeated it).

If you want to train for it, then I recommend throwing a few laps down at Richmond Bridge in Melbourne.

Stop asking all these dumb questions and have a bloody bash at the thing.

Interesting dilemma / chicken and egg thing, happening in your mind hex, as I did not think my style copies yours. The last thing I reckon you would want is to be tarred with that brush!

... anyrate as stugang kind of alluded too; I suggested; and now simey reinforced ...
>Stop asking all these dumb questions and have a bloody bash at the thing.

Heaven help mousey if he has to answer a heap of q's about Lord Gumtree before he is 'allowed' to go do a winter ascent of it (or Cerro Torre for that matter), with you!

:~((

Heh, heh, heh.

I think you are being rude to Idratherbeclimbing, what has he ever done to offend you?

At least spar with people who genuinely may be r soles..........or do they have your measure?

thanks for trying to wrap it up simey...though I expect there will be a couple more 'last questions'
before this thing gets finished. Let me see - if i were m10, what would i ask?

"is that where you trained to get fit for the tote?"..."which wall is better training?"...."are the aretes
similar to the tote & if so which one?"...."should I be using the crimpers or the side pulls?"...."is the
seepage on richmond bridge similar to that of salt water on dolerite?"..."which shakes more? the bridge
with a passing train or the tote with a crashing wave?" &c &c &c...

and if you answer those then i suspect there will be one more question PLZ!!!!!

Stugang,
You manage to ask better questions than M10, even though you are only taking the piss.

By the way, I reckon Richmond Bridge with a passing train shakes more than the Tote being hit by a wave. But the chances of the Tote falling down in the near future are pretty good given that since I've started climbing, the summit of Mt Cook, the Bonatti Pillar on the Dru and one of the Twelve Apostles have all collapsed.

Crikey! Does that mean that Araps and most of the Gramps can be expected to fall down soon? Get the selected guides and do the climbs in them soon! While they're still standing! Meanwhile those of us without a death-wish will be found in the back-blocks looking for places that Simey hasn't climbed.

(re fairlyfaggot). Those softc--ks can be somewhat an embaressment but I'm sure they get more embaressed by me far more often. Do they have orange arms and ordinance? (they will know what I mean). Has Damo bolted Syrinx yet? I may be down soon and I expect to see a lot of these "hot chicks" you are talking up.
