one eyed jackass

a few beers is all it takes…….after some sweet IPA’s anything seems like a good idea. I’ve been wanting to get up to the sierra for some climbing for the last few weeks and thought it was about time to go. After a few calls to some friends to see if they were up for some fun and only hearing comments like “what…….you want to go where? tommorow? leave at 2am? wtf are you nuts” I gave up trying to find a partner and decided the east face of mt. whitney would be a good solo.

the chief gave me the ok so off to the garage I go to put a rack together…….should never put a rack together when the beers are tasting so good……or maybe always rack-up with a buzz on, it will definatly be on the light side.
