    Thanks fellas. Didn't get to do nearly as much work on it this year as I had originally planned...too much time climbing and traveling. That's been dialed back for next year, so should make some pretty good headway over the next 6 months and get most of the list polished off.

    Yeah, first comparisons will come from the Dec 3-5th trip, but he won't be locked so I'll be comparing Blue to herself.

    Hangin' with Lurry on the trails is gonna take about another 4 months or so to get a full set of armor on...

    Good looking truck. I like the Tundra/Sequoia wheels. I'm looking for a set of those in the Hyper Silver color, but they are harder to find.

    Thanks man.

    Yeah, junkyards maybe...I didn't really have many requirements for the wheels other than the correct specs and decent condition. Traded for 'em and basically got 'em for free.

    Would like one more for a matching spare, but probably gonna cheap out and just get a steelie.

    I prefer the look with them alloy. Gouges may eventually force me to rattle can them just for maintenance purposes. I'm going to force life to do it to me though.

    Alloy wheels don't typically have rust problems do they?

    Yeah, some of that starts cropping up I'll go the spraypaint route just to preserve the wheels.

    No rope on in that particular picture, actually.

    Not a good time to fuck up.

    Bout halfway up the same route. We were still roped at this point. Did the face in the background behind me on a return trip this past June. I fucking love the climbing at Seneca...some of the best rock in the Eastern US:

    Partner behind the lense, typically from the belay anchor.

    On top, shortly thereafter. The summit is all of 6 feet wide and it's a ~300' freefall to broken talus on both sides. My partner was like "stand up for the picture!". I was like "Ahahahahaha fuck you!":
