I hope they're all OK. Those Kiwi climbers rock the house!

The article said "awoken"

Is it awoken, or "awakened" ??

[ QUOTE ]
Awoken is one of the two past participles of the verb awake. Awaked is the other and both are rarely used because they are unusual in common vernacular. Awakened is the past participle of the verb awaken. All are acceptable.

Okay. Were you an English major? Nice break down of the usage of the word.

I couldn't do that

Scott Forrest is in the US, don't know about James.

Yep. I saw that a chimney fell on a guy, but didn't kill him. Amazing!

The day after the ITCC in Chicago, I ran into Scott Forrest down at Navy Pier, with a Corona in hand. I said "What's up, Scott?" He replied... "Livin' the dream, brother!"

That kinda says it all about the Kiwis.
