FOR SHAME! also, i've been analyzing the climbing habits of oldschool tradsters and it seems to me that scary or insecure climbing is best done half drunk or fully high.... also, consider using big hexes instead of cams for added comfort.... the more sun-bleached the cording on em, the better. maybe instead of ditching mrs. narc on the trail, you shoulda made an anchor for her and ran up the slab itself, gotten some water and maybe even some dippin dots, and ran up the slab under her to join up again, revitalized by water and dry-ice frozen icecream.

I was acting a bit delusional wasn't I...although a hapless climber being swarmed by squirrels sounds like a good plot for a submission to the reel rock tour next year. HA!

Please allow me to elaborate. First, the Narc did not drink some of our water or even most of it, rather he drank ALL but one sip of it. Secondly, he ran ahead down the trail without letting me know much of anything was wrong and I was left to navigate on my own( I didn't get lost). Lastly, only when I suggested he not drive did the Narc relinquish control of the keys. In all seriousness I was worried about him; it's not often you have to feed a grown man a cliff bar as if he were a squirrel! There are some details the Narc happened to overlook in this post.

I vaguely remember making back to the car, and those two in the front seats discussing how to divide up my gear if I didn't make it! Apparently one common theme in an Epic is "well, after the water ran out...." Glad you survived! Yah, I seem to remember a similar experience in Colorado with Dave and Doug (several years ago).
