Pants Party,Taylors & Fish Massacre

Okay, so I forgot my pants...to the pants party @ Niel & Nics house...but luckily others remembered, like Joel, who proudly flashed his black leatherolium dollar store pants.





Pi came in orange pants and brought little, baby sized Pabst Blue...hey wait, this stuff's Budweiser! Damn!



So we fed it to the minor...it looks even smaller in Chris' hands!

I was supposed to bring Nic some cool pants from the prop shop, but forgot them with my pants, so, unfortunately, Nic improvised...



...with long underwear and a hand full of socks...



He pretty much made everyone there uncomfortable...






The next weekend Kris and I went out for the first time of this year's season with Nic & Neil @ Taylors. Nic had ambission to send Lloys sit start, or left of Llyods sit start, something on that boulder that he hasn't done yet...





He came really close, but no go...Kris and I tried the sit start to Lloyds-whatever that starts right of Nic's problem, starting on the undercling, drop knee to small left side pull, other drop knee to higher right sidepull slot...Neither of us got too far, but I'm psyched cuz I'm so close to catching that second sidepull!

Then, despite some nervousness, we crossed the iced over river to quickly get to the cave boulder. Neil came ridiculously close on "Cave Problem to the Left", FAed by Kris Johnson, of course. He'll do it any day now, just needs it all to come together smoothly.
I'm starting to catch the slopey hold down around the corner, but the edge of the block cuts into my tendons sticking out of the inside of my wrist as I grope around the corner for a slightly better position. Now I've gotta get some protective sweat bands for my wrist, you know, to look really bad-ass serious while I'm climbing. I was thinking about how sweet leg warmers would have been that day too, to keep the snow off my ankles. I'm gonna start climbing with all the partial-body-insulating devices I can find...my powers will then be unleashed, muhhahahahaha!



On a similarly evil note...there was a tragic gold fish massacre @ Trappers in Lindstrom. The perpetrator was not seen by any witnesses in the restaurant, but several gold fish now lay dead in bloody pools. Our only suspect is Kristian Johnson. Any leads you may be able to provide is helpful. You may also leave annoymous tips. Thank you...
