Let's see those trip reports

[ivan]

 

Oh you mean like Tazz did coming over here?? *gasp* apparently Tazz is the only woman in three states that gets any.

 

I think i am so intimidated i have to stop posting on cc.com now i want my mommy

I like you...you are too funny! I just have to respond to this...

 

First off I was not trolling to stir things up. I was responding to ML's post slamming my trs...again . If addressing her post with the truth is stirring the pot then so be it. BTW I did post images from my trips in the past 2 weeks. Can I see yours? I love mountain porn!

 

Second. Not sure what you mean by "gets any" but the way I interpret it, is you are talking about getting sex..?? Wow I have been getting some? New to me! I must have been passed out.

I don't need to get some/any (sleep around)to climb. Thats not what it is about for me...what about you?

 

Now if it "Gets any" means climbing...??? OH yeah getting lots of that several times a week! You?

 

 

 

Third. I have been around here for several years just never posted much. I don't plan on leaving just because I post on other sites. This is a great site with many good folks and some of the best beta and TRs. I am sticking around.

 

fourth. I want my mommy too...

 

 

 

 

First, you are dumb as fucking snot. posting over here where there is a long history of bad blood between your site and this one, to beat up on someone who has history HERE, well that is just LAME. you are not here. you do not have history here because you do not post here. so fuck off.

 

 

second, i never post TR's and there are many reasons for this. I don't climb that hard, and i don't climb so that other people can know what i do. i climb because i love it. if i take a camera it almost never sees the light of day because i am way to busy living in the moment. The only ONLY reasons to post a trip report in my never to be humble opinion is because you did something note worthy. leading your first 5.7 at vantage is bull shit and only means any thing to YOU. how self centered can you possibly be? so no you can't see my mountain porn. I would be more than happy to direct you to the nakid picture of me on the internet though because i do enjoy actual porn.

 

and for the record i was out climbing 5.7's today and now i am going to get fucked so am am getting all kinds.

 

I don't climb much during the week, because i have a successful career, spend time with my kids most every day and have 50% custody of them. I have a functioning co-parenting relationship with my ex husband, i have many friends, a multitude of hobbies and interests and a wonderful boyfriend and extended family.

 

marylou had every right to post her opinion of someting she thought was lame, I happen to hold the same opinion. if you can't handle the idea of someone not thinking you are the cats kitty every time you clip a bolt or summit some moderate peak, don't post about it on the internet. no one obligated to be nice to you.

PWD?

 

posting while drunk?

 

not that there's anything wrong w/ that...

You know Muffy, some of us just like the pictures and stories, whether it's earthshaking or not. We encourage trip reports in general around here, it's actually what the broadest cross section of users enjoy most. I know plenty of folks would find a story from you about struggling at your own level of climbing, and plenty of others would be happy to hear your TR from the fucking bit. Please note that the board administration does discourage the posting of porn here, so sadly I must suggest the latter trip report not be illustrated.

Ouch! Hey, words can hurt!

 

Awright awready, I deleted my bolt clipping "what I did this summer" report. But for the record, I actually like hearing about non-note worthy climbs, even 5.7 at vantage, when the person is stoked and wants to convey a little enthusiam about climbing.

[spotly]

If I wanted to hear about nothing other than "noteworthy" climbs I'd subscribe to one of the many rags out there that give way too much attention to routes I'll never climb and 5.14 climbers I'll never hang with.

 

I wanna read about "ordinary" adventures that I can relate to and I want to able to share my non noteworthy accomplishments with others as well.

Spoken like a true gym baby.

 

Conditions on alpine climbs change day by day. A climb that is standard one week can become quite 'noteworthy' the next. Many of us really appreciate the folks who post TRs that describe current conditions and very useful recent photos.

 

Also, many of us enjoy and are inspired by what our friends are out there doing, even if it didn't make the cover of Rock and Ice. TRs are a great way to connect with folks who have just been there, especially if you're planning on doing a route nearby.

 

Third, writing and reading TRs is fun. Not that that has anything to do with the sport.

 

And finally, climbing is a personal game. One man's noteworthy is another's walk in the park. So be it. Every TR posted here has value.

I agree with Tvash. I think many of the people who view this site are very ordinary people with average skills- people who juggle family, work and who knows what else, trying to get out on the weekends and whenever they can.

 

The sorts of climbs they are doing are comensurate with their skills. People are curious about how some other average climber of similar skill fares on a given route, and they want to hear the "warts and all" type report. It's good to know that other people make mistakes too, and maybe reading about other people's mistakes might save one or two of our own.

 

Just as an example, one of the reasons Mike Layton's TRs are so entertaining is because he doesn't try to make us feel like he's some sort of perfect machine. You can feel a little bit like you are there, because he tells you all about the little odd things that happen. It's all very human.

 

Sorry I just discovered this is the "Spray Version" of this thread. Just a suggestion to the mods- add Spray Version to the Subject so that people using "Search Past 24 Hours" can more easily differentiate. Yes, I know the full path is there, but some of us are rather lazy.

I totally agree with what you guys are talking about vis a vis climbing TRs on the climbing site. SDame with hiking TRs on the hiking site. Totally welcome any and all. We get a lot of new folks over on the other site, and encouragement is what we all try to bring.

 

A few TRs on road trips, mountain bike rides, climbing, whatever every so often is cool and good, but when there start being a lot, it dilutes the whole TR idea.

[high_on_rock]

But Muff-buddy, you can sure feel free to PM out those good porn stories anytime you like.

 

I agree with the bunch that prefers to hear about the person conquering the frightening 5.7 lead than I do the 5.13's that I will never climb.

[CaptainObvious]

Personally I think TR about mountain bike rides, climbing, etc have a whole lot to do with hiking than threads like these:

 

I'm having a birthday.

 

Invite me over for thanksgiving please.

 

What's in my medicine cabinet.

 

Two hands with pics.

 

Common...cut people a break. You don't want to read what you feel dilutes the site...just turn the page.

Nice kiss ass and then slam ML ! I am sooo sorry if I get out a lot and write the trs to share with others the fun I had. You might want to take a look in the mirror to see what dilutes that site. Many other climbers write many climb reports over there and you don’t ride their ass the way you do mine... ...wonder why... ? It is about sharing...maybe you didn’t learn that in the sandbox when you grew up. Please, move on if you can't take it it.

 

I donnot climb and write reports to “get some” as muffy would insinuated. I donnot write reports and climb to get attention or to be the “kats kitty”. I donnot write reports to beat my chest. Just the opposite..I beet myself up for being a slug (compared to the machines I climb with) and screwing up things or being a chicken shit, if I don’t summit or finish a 5.10a route. I do feel proud when I do accomplish something I thought I could never do though. I post about that excitement. That is the personal side of it. I tend to write about the personal side of it too. The good and bad! Why is that so horrible?

 

I write reports because the net is here for like minded folks to share the same passion. My passion for the mountains is my a huge part my life, has been for 15+ years. I enjoy reflecting on the trip and writing about it. Usually laughing at the images, things, good times and folks involved. Even the ones that I/we have made mistakes and learned from them. Sharing that with a community that understands what it is like is fun. I write reports to give folks who are headed to the same place and idea of the conditions too.

 

I read reports too! Oh boy do I read reports! I learn so much from reports here and the many other sites. I love Trs.

 

The mountains, the challenge, fun, and friends is what is all about to me. Oh and it is about the pics too got to love the mountain porn! Here is some more porn for ya all!! Sorry if you don't like MY porn muffy...

 

Moments like this is what it is about for me...

MaryLou,

I never write reports but last year I got at least 4-5 days of skiing or climbing in per week. I appreciate the reports that are written, especially for the times I can't get out. Even if they are average, it still is a reminder of what is important. If you don't want to read a tr, don't. It definitly does not "dilute" the significance of any other reports. I hope people do not get discouraged to post, I like reading them. Actually, I usually just look at the pictures anyway.

I actually agree with you about the alpine conditions. I think it is indeed noteworthy to post a TR in such an ever changing environment. however i don't think anyone wants to hear about the 1200 time i have climbed Fat Crack at the colllums (W00T) no matter how much fun i have and how much i enjoy watching the sunset over the city i love while tearing down my anchor and rapping down. by noteworthy i don't mean 5.14. i mean something of interest that 99.9% of the climbing population hasn't seen, and done in the exact same way in the exact same conditions. it would be noteworhty to post a TR if i bolt were missing on a sport route. or if chains were missing... something unique. I also enjoy TR's if they are particularly humorous. Pope and Dwayner for instance have been known to make a cragging TR totally enjoyable.

[high_on_rock]

Nice photos!

 

What if you all just hit the "ignore" button on the people who continually piss you off rather than continually letting them anger and annoy you? Trust me that it makes reading this stuff much more enjoyable when you merely "ignore" a few of the consistent annoyances. Merely my little old opinion. Peace, respect, brother/sisterhood.

 

[tazz]

first muffy...get your facts strait it was only 3 trs to vantage she is bitching about...not 1200...

 

High on Rock

Thanks! love to share images! Good advice too.

[marylou]

It's really not that compelling an issue anyway, so whatever.

Cannot you three ladies put on german outfits, grab large mugs of beer, and just smile and get along like Wink'n, Blink'n and Nod to the left? Put eachother on ignore, meditate and smile.

Peace, Respect, and Sisterhood!

Hey I have a Trip report.

I went to beta breakers today with my nephews in San francisco. Loaded them with ice-cream and sugar. Let them throw frozen bread at ducks and turtles. The 5 yr old asked if people were "drinking drugs". Really good aunty huh? The 5yr old calls me aunty-christ.

"Auntie Christ", that had me laughing.

 

Muff, just avoid the urge to fight, hit the ignore button, and get back to making the porn for all us lonely guys. That is putting your time to more valuable use.

You are loved here.
