Havent heard from you in ages Mojo...

Miss your comments in the news column, about upcoming events, site updates, how you are working too hard and not climbing.....

Hope u will ba back soon....

As a side note, boring as topics posted lately, where are the controversial topics rather than the on going "dont drive past the Marae saga"
(its like a 1970s tv soap) or "Which is the best finger tape brand to buy" BORING.....

I might have to start one off put my money where my mouth is.....or maybe I already have :)

Hey Tiger!!

Thats right amigos, the mojoman doesn't have f*k all spare time at the moment. Hasn't touched a harness in months. Hasn't done any work on MojoZone, but thats life right. Anyway I do have some work to do on the zone so there should be a few updates coming.

I'm working my ass off with new day job and setting up a new company in preparation for going to Canada at the end of the year. going to Thailand in August and hopefully should redeem myself with lots of rock action (got 1 week aclimatising up north, trekking with my girl, then 1 week slated for Hat Ton Sai).

All good. Hope everyones having a wicked time. cranking hard. enjoying life and keeping well.

Yay, Rowan is still alive :)

I don't need to remind you of the old saying about all work and no play now do I?

Hope the girlfriend climbs mate I once tried one of those non-climbing girlfriends didn't last long silly mistake, guess she's ok with heights if she rides elephants. She isn't Lynn Hill by any chance (heard she has a new man) and she's confined you to the kitchen and the massage room. :shock:

Rowan you'd better stay around this time so that it doesn't get out of control again!

And Jack it isn't that you are posting so much... It is what you post...

Welcome back, Good to hear from ya....

Sound like you are a busy boy.....

Me too, I havent been climbing in months, weak as a kitten :( Pullups what are they :?: :)

Mojozone is my window to the climbing scene in NZ.....

As I have learnt, theres more to life than climbing, 2 years ago it was all I thought about, talked about and spent money on...... Well now.... things are different....

Gonna get back to climbing soon (been saying that for months too!), see my friends, make new ones....cant wait

Then again, any newbie or someone getting back into it, reading some of the posts on here, might be put off climbing with some of the trash, that comes out of peoples mouths :x .....

Anyway keep up the good work....

Thailand whoooooo bring it on can i come too... :lol:

I kinda like that the forums are more or less unmoderated but we all manage to play nice together...more or less...and Jacks 3million posts seem to prove that the shit goes right over his head. He's actually giving some back now.

Work, the annoying time between climbing trips. Rowan, that 100 Baht should be plenty enough to get you a longtail from Krabi to Railay.
Yosemite has been flooded so it looks like a mish to Red Rocks is in order.
BTW Rusta, Don't drink my Tequila! :evil:
