So I'm pretty new to this whole climbing thing, but I'm pretty sure these guys are gay.
A selection from their journal entry:
"It's Friday evening now, and I'm on the telephone with Jim FIRMING up our plans for a day of climbing tomorrow. There will be a full moon tomorrow night, so Jim suggests Weavers Needle is the place to go because we can hike out in the MOONLIGHT without headlamps (we need a full moon since we never get an early enough start to finish any outing by sundown, let alone this classic with its eight mile roundtrip approach). I immediately argue that because of my still-tender big toe (injured when Jim and I did the Classic at Granite Mountain months earlier), there is no way I can tough the Weavers Needle approach, unless, "YOU WANT TO CARRY ME". Jim is easily dissuaded, so we agree on the "Crying Dinosaur", just inside Siphon Draw on the west end of the Superstition Mountains.
Actually, we've been wanting to do this climb for most of a year, and had studied the guide book on more than one occasion to BONE-UP on the route...."

Dustin and I are going to Bone-Up on this route tomorrow. It should take about 15 minutes.
