Milktoast Frees a Boulder Problem
Dave Knorr
Regarding your 'alleged' ascent...
I was up in the mountains and I didn't see you anywhere. You also didn't
mention if you used any other aids like tape or chalk (or aktul climbing
shoes). Also, was the problem red-tagged? Ya' know I been saving a bunch
of boulder problems up in the Sierra (some of the 'harder' V0's)...I hope
you didn't jump on any of those. Some day gonna write a book about all my
'complishments, and I don't wanna use anyone else's name.
But nevertheless, I'm glad you had fun on 'er, where wuzzat you were? And
goodluck on your next project.

I was there. You may have seen me. I resemble the Pillsbury DoughBoy.
Remember? The big ugly fat guy swearing at the rock?

I used all those things... tape for my aging fingers and aching tendons, chalk
so as to show off my crafty routes and climbing shoes cause lordy knows I
cain't climb shite without them!

Funny you should ask that. Right after I sent it some skinny guy comes running
up, ranting about how I jumped his chalked problem. Seems he initially chalked
all the moves a few days before and considerd the problem his. He was working
it in between trips to the Topless Juice Bar down at the junction. Called me
an asshole, he did. Tried to smash my chalkbag and he bent my bouldering pad.
So I beat the crap out of him. Suitably engorged by the satisfaction of
violence rendered, I sent his problem again just to rub it in.

How can you say that Dingus? I have it on good authority (one of those psychic
lines) that John Muir did that yonks ago, and that knob line to the right was done
by that guy with the big hat and pots and pans on his back -
Norman Clyde!(THAT'S THE BUNNY) And he did it reciting Omer's Oddities in
Sanskrit.
They did however use duck down crash/sack cloth crash pads.
On to the next ancient evening.

Yeah, but he stood on the pot and slung a knob with the frying pan (but he did do it
in a storm and waited 20 years to tell anyone about it).

Sometimes, sometimes not. I was having a nice session this evening, doing
a circuit, working a few, musing and analogizing between bouldering, love,
chess, etc. Found a key and solved a mystery or two to some problems I've
been working. Stayed late.
Nice sunset, and only two other people bouldering in the Buttermilk. Chatted
with one of them, but bouldered by myself. Shrubs are blooming, plus, they
bladed the road.
So I'm heading home, when it is revealed to me that my dog (Angus) had
spent the session happily and successfully hunting down, digging up, and
devouring human feces. He revealed this by retching on the front seat and
floor of my truck. I gagged, stopped the Chevy and started to get out,
but before I could I administer a solid beating to the literal son of a
bitch, he ate the vomit and bolted out the door.
The stench was unbelieveable -- dog bile and semidigested excrement -- the
whole being substantially greater than the sum of its parts. Fast ride
home, head out the window, dog in the back. I am presently consumed with
the fear that he will later re-regurgitate the mess tonight in this very
spot where I now sit reading rec.climbing.

He likes it with his piss and vinegar, Bob.
Poor Angus. I hope he's OK.
