Crystal Blue Persuasion

Of course, my judgement genes kicked into gear when I saw it was at a casino. But then what better place to sow a few seeds? Who knew is right.. I too always assumed he was talking about drugs — it was the culture I grew up in. Snady, well done indeed!

I went looking for his own words. Of course, he probably was high when he first sang it back in the day. And God was working on him even then. Gives me hope for some I know. What an amazing story. He is so good.

Another thing that intrigued me was how he worked creatively. Like the song Crimson and Clover was the result of just playing with two words he liked. He mentioned that if he had actually gotten the million dollars he was owed, it would have destroyed him.

I love how you put that adela. I loved all this. So great to read his background. Like Adela, I love the idea of throwing out seeds and wrote once that they were tiny descendants of the future. We never know what fertile-soil heart will receive them.

Thanks so much for this, sweetie! Tiny descendants of the future. What a neat thought. Was that in a blog post? There was so much good stuff there. I must have missed that particular metaphor.

There are bolts when it's harder, but huge runouts when it's easy. There are no bolts on the second pitch The first pitch is about M, however. I led it on a brand new Mammut 70m rope, and trailed a Beal My belayer had to simul about 10' up to get me to the chains, and we tied in close. I can't really see why they would put the anchor just out of reach of even a 70, since it could just as easily been 5M below We rapped the rap line about 40' to the right, and it was fine.

Thanks for the route! Evan, This is how that happened long pitch. No belay stations, etc. Probably had seen very few ascents, ever. The FA Ron Vardanega and I rebolted and added bolts top-down no way were either of us going to climb it with the old bolts. Where one of the original bolts was we added another bolt for a belay station, and estimated that it would probably make it to the ground. It did on rappel with rope stretch, but as we found out later, not when going up.

So now those two bolts need to be moved, not an insignificant task, or perhaps an intermediate belay station added. Showcase climbing routes on your site. Hiking Project Better Data.
