yankinoz 3-May-2010 10:33:11 PM	Stoked that I flashed Chasing Amy on Saturday (douple stoked because my wife's name is Amy) and that wasn't my only 21 flash that day... Also stoked that I got all the moves on These Apples must be Jen's and These Cats are full of Milo - I think my long standing grade 22 plateau is finally nearing an end....
Olbert 8-May-2010 6:02:48 PM	Stoked that I just got a message sayimg "apparently [Im] not hideously ugly". The message went on to say "[thats] news to me". Thanks Dave
J.C. 8-May-2010 9:06:30 PM	im stoked that everyone seems to be so gosh darn jolly stoked! and also because i finally finished unpacking my stuff in the new place... it was one bloody duffel and took me like 3 months to be bothered! very satisfying, except that now i have nowhere to store the empty duffel. oh the lameness of being me! also rather stoked about the plan for world domination that im currently plugging away at.
will5686 12-May-2010 5:05:33 PM	Stoked because my gear has arrived!!! Now I've got a whole bunch of coloured shiny metal to decorate my harness, I am going to have to find some time and some place to actually use it!
Miguel75 12-May-2010 10:54:50 PM	Stoked for you Claire. We'll have to get everyone out to Werribee Gorge soon.
will5686 13-May-2010 9:46:28 PM	Thinking of going on saturday if you want to join? We're going to try getting the train and then riding our mountain bikes. Sorry for being off topic people. Though I am pretty stoked at getting to give all the new gear a go!
Jodestar 14-May-2010 2:36:24 PM	I got 10 sweet ass shiney new quickdraws for my birthday!!! I'm the luckiest gal in the world :-)
Miguel75 14-May-2010 6:39:19 PM	I'm stoked my mate liked the harness we gave him for his birthday. Even more stoked one member of the party thought it was a sex toy and asked "do you wear that when you have the red ball in your mouth?"
ajfclark 14-May-2010 7:19:57 PM	Did you show them the clucking video?

Go to the south pole and turn on the spot?

pmonks 16-May-2010 2:37:56 PM	Heaven forbid I get back on topic, but just had an AWESOME day down at Castle Rock in the Santa Cruz Mts - my first time there in a couple of years. Scared myself silly soloing up to the top of Castle Rock to set a top rope for some beginners, then doubled down on fear by using a classical abseil to get off (scary and painful - my butt crack may never be the same again!). Serves me right for being a boulderer and not taking a harness I spose... ...anyway, my subsequent pledge to get no more than 2 feet off the ground for the rest of the day bore some fruit in the form of a tick of the "Dog Dish Traverse" (slopey V2) first shot (having been unable to pull onto the starting holds the last time I tried it!). Even came within a whisker of sending the V3 extension to it, which adds in a couple more metres of sloper shenanigans.
yankinoz 17-May-2010 7:26:22 AM	Stoked to onsight Just Boot It (22) at Medlow Bath - er - um I think... I was pretty pumped and just managed to get clipped into the anchors - woo hoo! then looked up and saw two more bolt and a second set of anchors... d'oh! Judging from the spider webs and lack of chalk past the first anchor I'm pretty sure that's not part of the climb (at least it doesn't seem to be normally done!) Anyone know what's the deal with those two bolts? Is it an extension or did I inadvertently just bail off Just Boot It from the middle?
Phil S 18-May-2010 8:35:56 PM	23000nm actually. I'm a bit confused - what did'nt she do?
