Wow. I hadn't thought of it like that, but it sounds exactly right. The prize is in the process. The view is just a bonus. John said something close to that too, I guess.
Daryl-That solitary dimension of climbing is neat. It probably applies to other sports, like kayaking, skydiving, surfing, or, come to think, even running or swimming...really any sport that doesn't involve one opponent "defending" against another.
Yeah Ryan, empty. Ha. I saw the hotties congratulating you after each boulder prob...I mean, if that's what you're looking for :)

Woops; Now upon closer examination, what I thought was a funny thread, is really Tony's exposed tail, or at least let's hope it's a tail, if ya know what I mean..... ; ) | |

| honestly, I wish I were Tony. Just free and easy on the ice. Not like the reality of cold fear, dead fingers, and nausea. | |

It's the Schoeller Dryskin fur suit he's wearing. Thin, flexible, but packed with high tech insulating power and the highest level of water-resistance. | |

Product of an Asian sweat-forest. It likely didn't pay Davis-Bacon or prevailing wage for its manufacture. Worse, he almost certainly killed a number of small mammals for source material--reverse engineering or something. We should boycott the suit and any venue where Tony climbs.
EDIT: Some of the small animals may have been raptors; enough said.
EDIT 2: It better be his tail, Gigi, or he's got serious anatomical problems. | |

| Hope I'm not kicking a dead horse, but here's a view from this weekend. I think that this is from the first pitch of the second buttress.
