shorti! My precious! You found her! Blue and yellow insulation tape, green DMM nut. Dominika dropped it while seconding. Nice to see after Dieter dropped one of my nuts at Wilgepoort on Saturday.

Beer hey, what type?

Not fussy, whatever you are having :thumleft:

To test if your heart is true (just because you ignored my invite last week). When did you loose it and what did you climb?

Steven and I did the corner to the left of the one where you got stung by a wasp on the nipple, forget the name. Something about a knight? Excalibur?

Then did the real easy slab/face left of the old aid line with the drilled peg holes through the big roof, abbed down over the roof from the tree above. Dominika came up with a draw and no gear on it. When... hmmm. January this year? Asking a lot from a memory that's sketchy at best.

Which invite did I ignore? Sorry if I did man, last week was month and year end...apparently a big deal in the capatilistic machine... 60 hour week with MCFAT's LGP on Saturday, that was fun.

The blue and yellow stripes aren't equal, i.e. the blue bit is stuck about half over the yellow bit (or vice versa). Proof: Steven and some of my rack at Wolfberg

Yes, first time and I COMPLETELY underestimated it. Even when I started up the business pitch I thought it was just going to be a nice day in the kloof, then it put me firmly in my place. I just couldn't figure out how to get up it. And it swallowed my precious yellow hex to boot! Toll fees for being arrogant...

Your heart is true Pierre. The nut is weathered enough for 5-6 months, but it still looks safe. You can have it next time I see you. I sent you an invite via email (gmail account), but no big deal. Have you climbed Planxty (on the other side of the big roof)? At the crux is one of those dodgy pegs like those on the aid route.

Thanks bra, hopefully it is soon. I have not climbed Planxty, but will make a note to give it a go.

We donated a DMM 4 gold wallnut on Donner and Bliksem, Castle Gorge. Donner and Bliksem indeed.
