 I was looking for a picture of an "old guy" to put up as the poster 'child' for the Viagra II.  I came across this picture on rockclimbing.com.  His name is Fred Beckley.  He began climbing in the 1930's.  At the ripe age of 81, he is still leading 5.9 trad multipitch.

For now I can handle just being 'old'.  
The other night I said I had to get a 'little something up' on the blog about the classic.  For the rest of the night it was all about how I couldn't get it up!  Enough said!
Viagra II.  My house (36 Cheyne Drive).  Friday November 6, 2009.  7pm to 11pm.  Please bring crash pads as I only have one.  There will be a good variety of problems.  The are several set by Matt and Kaleb.  This should increase the challenge for you elite #@%$#'s.  There is a problem that Kaleb says no-one will be able to do.  I have yet to figure out a prize but I am thinking about a pot (5 buck a person winner take all).  I have no idea how to get women to climb.  Last year there were a good number showing but no one climbing.  I'm thinking a wall rotation or something.  I am open to idea's.  
Trevor said he may bring some clips to watch after the throw down.  Leo may have some pics of Squamish and I have some pics from the Gunks.  A bit of a show after.
Directions:  Newfoundland Drive-Carrick-Rt to Regent St-2nd Lt to Cheyne Dr.- Last house on Rt before the hill.
