Lost chalk bag in Epinephrine

Lost my cow patterned chalk bag in Epinephrine's last chimney pitch. Beer reward for its safe return.

As some consolation, I guess you managed a free ascent of the remainder of the route...

It wasn't free, it's going to cost me some beer to get it back.

I guess that explains the moo-ing sounds I heard coming from the Black Tower yesterday...

I heard the moo-ing all the way over on Crimson...

And here I thought the C in aid climbing meant clean aid. Apparently to the desert purists, I guess it means chalk.

C0: Pre-existing chalk on holds. Often times unavoidable, but definitely will be scoffed at by the desert purist.

C1: Easy Chalking. Moves requiring one dip into the chalk bag per hold. Usually done on easier routes from good stances and holds. Routes typically range from 5.0 to 5.6.

C2: Moderate Chalking: Chalking up generally easy, but possible awkward and strenuous moves may be required to reach the chalkbag. No more than 2 dips into the chalkbag per hold. Routes typically range from 5.7 to 5.10.

C3: Hard Chalking: Involves many tenuous chalkings in a row. Some desperate moves involving placing chalk all over holds that aren't worth a shit, luring others to try and use the same shitty hold and getting more chalk on it. No more than 3 dips into the chalkbag per hold. Routes typically range from 5.11 to 5.12.

C4: Serious Chalking: lots of chalk. 60 to 100 foot sections of C3 chalking. At a serious risk of blown tendons and flappers. No more than 4 dips into the chalkbag per hold. Routes typically range from hard 5.12 to 5.13.

C5: Extreme Chalking. At risk of oozing off a hold at any moment. Requires advanced techniques, such as carrying a toothbrush to scrub off the over abundance of chalk on crucial holds. Some pitches may take days as the climber "projects" said route. Unlimited dips into the chalkbag per hold. Routes typically range from hard 5.13 to 5.14.

Lol!

No-it just meant he was able to grope my ass while chalking up out of my bag before each pitch...bastard didn't even buy me a drink after.....

Brigette, see what you're missing? Sqwirll's a regular at Vegas beer nights, and if you're nice to him, he may even give you a bag of cheese curds.

Beer AND cheese curds? Wow! That's the best offer I haven't had all year.
