Re: Congratz...

Thanks. Have been trading since spring 06, but seriously started in the fall 06 and have to say that I had some “dark” moments. We pretty much exclusively trad climb at the Gunk’s, except our winter trip to Mt. Lemmon, AZ, so sometimes I don’t know what route I will end up and how sandbagged it really is, the classic Gunk’s set up :). But I really really love it.

Sorry had too

With the angle of this shot only one saying comes to mind thanks to Billy Madison "Don't I have a nice rack?"

Helmet?:)

I always wondered how so many girl climbers care more of theis hair-dress than of safety of their heads...:))

Re: Helmet?:)

Actually, I think, in that photo I did not wash my hair in about 5days :)...I have a love/hate relation ship with my helmet. I almost knock my self of a climb couple of times, while looking for pro and not realizing my helmet comes further out than my head. Every time it was a very airy, of balance feeling in not so good stance...so I do realize I am making a choice between safety and safety...thanks, though, for your concerns I am fully aware...

Re: Helmet?:)

No wash for 5 days?! Good way to keep them pretty! :) Happy New Year and take care!
