It's time to start pestering the stopper holders. How about an update?

I think they claimed it as booty.

Any interest in a new Elanor/The Cursed One??  I just replaced main set with WC superlights and have a fistful of 'won't get fooled again' nuts...

Sure, send them all to me and I'll write a trip report in a couple decades lol

But seriously what's going on with these stoppers??

Pete S, you indicted multiple mini projects in April, plus a big project at the "end of May". We're well past that. How did those projects go?

mills101 Mills, you had a trad project to tackle in "a week or two" five and a half weeks ago. What's the status?

Part of the fun of this is that it's the same stopper(s) traveling around and having tons of different adventures, so replacing them is not ideal.

Pete S and mills101 Mills!!! Write a TR or send the stoppers along! We can see you adding climbs to MP so we know you still exist!!!

What's that Dr. Seus book, "Oh, the Place You'll Go!"? Or was it just a line in one of his books? Anyway ...

Oh, the places Resurrection's been in the last month! All over Montana! To the Humbug Spires, Homestake Pass, Stone Hill, Point of Rocks, the Bitterroots! Ol' Res even climbed the classic Where's Jack? route up the southwest face of Little Matterhorn in Glacier National Park! I think Res came with me (and whoever I was with that took the rack of nuts for the next lead) up around 50 pitches!

But, I've gotta be honest: Resurrection has only been a casual (Or passive? Get it? ...) observer throughout. :/

The stoke was always too high or the fear was too great to ignore the blue Totem on my harness to actually place the damn thing.

So ...

I leave for another climbing trip to Washington Pass Wednesday morning, I'd love to get it in the mail to YOU tomorrow ... or maybe Res will finally get some hot passive action in the PNW next week. :)

Who's next?

There's Colin on Pitch 3, “The Giggle Dihedral,” on Where's Jack?, probably choosing the blue or black Totem over Resurrection because, choss ...

if another nut is to be voted into the mix I recently bootied a nut from a top 50 classic route  in Colorado. if this nut gets requested to be sent into action the booty story and photos will be posted...

I mailed that stopper to Pete back in April. If he doesn’t respond in the next couple days, I’ll email him.

Unique and touching TR, SinRopa. Well done.

"Don't forget, we need to use the red stopper", I called up helpfully.

Classic! Nicely done.

Spreadsheet and map are up to date.

As the better half, she probably goes by SaintRopa
