Not to be that guy, but aren't we all getting vaporized on January 20th?

25!

Mike, it's so everyone's smoking weed with a vaporizer on January 20?

Edit: I think it's called smoking wax not getting vaporized.

Happy birthday, and good luck with the first lead.

I hope I'm still leading when I make it to 60.

Happy birthday~!

Happy Birthday Helen! You're going to crush your first lead!

"OLD" is relative! Best wishes from another young at heart.

36. I know you like Purcell prusiks, but a PAS thong might be more appropriate for such an event.

I all ways applaud people who pick this sport up later in life. Its not like something you learned when you were 19 and will never forget how to do it for the rest of your life.

I have followed your progress via MP for the last few years and would like to say.... GOOD GOING!!! It's never to late to enjoy all the things the struggle against gravity will bring you.

Wishing you all the best for your first lead.... only advise I will offer.

Pick something that complements your strengths, be determined to not get scared and work hard for the BOLD FLASH.... that pays the big dividends. You can do this...

climbing friend,

you likely would be scared on the fear on your first lead roping flash for boldness and glorification before the gods.

it is OK, for it would be acceptable and constant throughout your journey of challengings in life, even outside of the climbing rocks.

You perhaps will focus on your breathing and one moving at one time. beforehand and during unimpeachable rock gropings, reminding yourself you have chosen objectively a route quite high in the safety, and the mind it very much like run home cry to mommy, but it is OK it is completely or for most part fear without any rations.

upon completion of bold flash, you must be praised 60 times by your partner, or go home and eat 60 plant-based fishheads and cheesesteaks.

then you are returning to tubes of internet with detailed report on bold flash, and description of holds - are there many hold of small crimping rectangular type? Or triangular type for crimp of eagle-claw-pïnchen style? Or jug of baby head for uberklïnglen grip? Is your heart filling with boldness despite the unknown and your forearms becoming refresh at the crux?

I think yes-myah.
