Tony Bubb finishes up on 'Sidewinder' (5.10b, S). Photo by John Dubrawski, 12/03.<br> <br> My Partner, John was discussing something at the base with a passerby as I hang on for deal life. When John reached the top he told me that discussion:<br> Stranger: "Your friend is up there in the sun in this heat?"<br> JD: "Yeah"<br> Stranger: "That's something you don't see everyday. No shirt huh? (chuckle)"<br> JD: "No... ?"<br> Str: "He's going to grease up his traverse. Where's his chalk bag?"<br> JD: "He doesn't carry one."<br> Str: (laughing again) "Well, that climb is not for everyday use." (walks away)<br> <br> It was an obtuse comment, but let's just say I got the point.
