The beauty of crack climbing

Nice shorts WC! Or are those man-pris? (look like man-pris to me) ;)

Yes, my '08 Prana purchase from Miguels. I swear they were unisex pants, really. Man-pris I suppose. Better than baggy street gangbanger 'shorts' that hang off your ass and down to your ankles. These are true climbing pants cuz I'm a true climber again these days. Hey, at least I'm not in my 30 yr. old Chouinard pants like I wore for the entire 80's.

Ah, just giving you a hard time WC after your comment about the kids plaid shorts in another pic a couple of days ago. Good to see you're back on the rock after the ankle incident. :)
Where's your gear sling in this pic anyway? Here I thought you were a TRUE traddie. (all racked up like a sport climber) ;)

Well I got a daisy chain cuz they do have chain anchors atop most these trad' routes it seems. And I got a few draws I guess, leftover from the last sporty route done. Thin crack, only needed a few similar sized cams to ram in there on that first pitch. Had I owned some nice plaid shorts, I'd have worn them too.
Actually I was just talking to my old climbing partner about dressing 70's style from now on if doing trad, and in Prana or such fashions if doing sport leads. Best to look the part correctly I say.

WC, glad to see you are back in the game. Is that route at Funkrock City?

No, it's one of the prize cracks at Long Wall. This and 'Autumn are superb trad cracks. Felt good to be hauling a load of cams, nuts, and moving up on sticky rubber once again.

I felt about as excited there, as Badash' does when she's within 500 ft. of a killer boulder problem. A good feeling for sure.

Ahhhhh....Rockwars, one of my favorite climbs in the red. The last time I hit that up was RocTrip last year, you know Woody, the day we were supposed to climb together but you left me stranded at Miguels....yea, you remember.
