After that it really isn't bad if you just stem stem stem. Of course...yours truly got pumped silly the first time as well RR

Frank Florence addict Registered: 01/05/00 Posts: 528 Loc: Watertown or Bend	RR - The Red Dick and the older Swain guide both listed Simple Suff as 5.10, so the grade has been around since 1980, at least.
