I don't have a photo, but this sums up the priorities in Ouray: the local market carries three KY products and zero face lotions that are not SPF 50 sunscreens for babies...

My must-haves to make me look like a non-climbing girlfriend so my male partners can carry all the gear/water/food and put up the ropes for me:

1. Eyelash curlers
2. Ironic large sunglasses
3. A cute headband
4. Lip gloss
5. A tiny purse-backpack to carry all the above

In the winter, all the above plus a knit hat with the largest pom pom and anything by Burton.

1. Lots of runners for the racing
2. A 60m line for the finish
3. Some nuts for people to snack on
4. Lots and lots of cord so i can plug my stereo in
5. Chalk so i can mark the path
6. A few biners to do the hard labor
7. A sheet of words that rhyme so we can do some rapping at the end
8. Webbing so we can swim faster

At least she is prepared to make new ones in case she forgets hers at home.

Nothing against you but this is funny...

Since apparently everyone brings guns to the crag I think it would be a good idea to add a bulletproof vest to my pack haha.

Speed stick, a vague notion that Nietzche was on to something, an urge to buck all forms of social acceptance, a desperate need for social acceptance, a girl (any girl), tape (in case I NEED it), an armchair opinion about futuristic ascents in another Hemisphere, access to the internet

Matt Davies: Now that I'm in my 40s, I am selling my supply of a few of those things if anyone needs them:
(1) Speed stick: $1.40 (used)
(2) A vague notion that Nietzche was on to something: $1844-1900 (taking bids)
(3) An urge to buck all forms of social acceptance, a desperate need for social acceptance: $45 (package deal, will not sell separately)

Sad to sell the Nietzsche, but its taking up too much space in the garage.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
