Anyone interested in going up Nabisco with me this Sunday morning?  I will lead all of the pitches.

I am interested but scared. How  to bypass wasp's nests at Waverly , bee hives on Butterballs and Monkeys on Monkeys island? Should I bring sting proof wasp  suit and bananas?

If you are worried about the wasps at the base, we can run up the first few moves to the next ledge and build a belay right below the start of the hand jam corner.  This gets you out of the way of the wasps and puts you on a pretty big ledge with good visibility of the rest of the route.

Sorry Brady, don't count on me on Nabisco, I was joking. But seriously - the wasps are gone, and no Monkeys ( Monkey ISLAND it is top of Butterballs). Nabisco wall is free from danger and only you need to find someone for weekend. cheers

No sweat.  I didn’t know the top of BB was called monkey island!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
