How appropriate. Saw a lot of bar flys like this in the valley. Talking shit. They had no calluses and no scrapes and no tan. They were out of shape and and dangerous to be around. And they made it to the bar and pizza long before the real climbers who would just get in the door at closing.
Real climbers pick apart accidents obsessively. It’s very critical to understand what the limits are and details are very important.
The AAC publishes an annual comprehensive list with analysis. It’s called accidents in North American Climbing. Kropp was in the edition the year after his death and it was discussed at length on forums and among professional guides.
Here is a good intro to the AAC publication. If you need some education go read one of them. A lot of Cliffs in there and a handful of good men and women, too. Some my friends, too.
The Surprising Impact of 'Mountaineer's Guide to Death and Disaster'
"People find it instructive and helpful, but also kind of fun—in a macabre kind of way," says the American Alpine Club's executive editor.

My buddy has one of these as well as a collection for 427 4 gear Fairlanes.
The Galaxie with 4 meat heads in it getting on the freeway is an experience! Pin you back in the seat and rowing through the gears was bad ass
Why didn't they just use Tabasco?
Not invented until just after the Civil War…
But the Civil War Did create Tabasco.
If you want a great read, buy my friend Shane Bernard’s history. Fantastic story and reads like fiction. So many amazing historical connections with the Avery and McIlhenny families!

Have seen several already here in north Texas. Started seeing a few a couple weeks ago, do put out feeder’s, sure fun to watch!
Always a touch and go moment when you encounter a deadly Copper Moccarattlesin:

Worth the read... Another meme spoiled!
Personally, I prefer HP Sauce... Houses of Parliament.
Hard to find. But more tamarind base. Very good stuff!

AOC will be presenting that on Capitol Hill this week.
My uncle had a silver one when I was a kid. My cousin and I felt like little kings riding around in it.
Yesterday I saw the first two come to the feeders.
More like how can we make a nearly inedible piece of meat palatable
That looks like wilford brumley!
Women like that are created in laboratories.
Grounded for a very, very long time...
An old high school GF (mid 70's) had one that she drove, and her dad insisted I drive it when we went out. Safer, quieter, not a hod rod. It was an older Model Mark III but it sure could get out of it's own way. This one (18K miles) sold recently for nearly 10X it's sticker price when new.
I drove a Catalina with the 421 SD engine with a four speed. Her dad used to ask about it as people would stop and ask about it. Then one day, I made the mistake of Ietting him drive it, I have regretted doing so ever since. Years later I got a later model with the tri-power but it was bigger, heavier, and had less power.
