d-elvis Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/26/00 Posts: 3650 Loc: Central PA	Could the weekend in Keene Valley have been any nicer? 20-25 degrees with bright sunshine? Ok ok, the top of Chouinard's on Friday morning was a bit... nippy I am obviously a superior ice climber due to the need to only swing once for a solid stick _________________________ "Marriage Survivor"

RangerRob Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/06/00 Posts: 3730 Loc: Ulster County, NY	yeah yeah yeah...ya'll had a good time in the Adirondacks while I worked. You suck. But guess who got to lead 100' of phat, virgin, grade 4 ice on Monday in the Catskills?? Of course LTL and Dillbag would have rated it 2+ or 3-, but that's only because their muscles are bigger than their brains. RR
