Give it time, CC's own Dane will pipe in shortly. He is basically an ice tool encyclopedia. Pictures would also be nice, and posting this question on Supertopo would probably get you more answers.

Are you a self-stylized gear huckster, a Super-American, an ego-centric wanna-be, or all the above?

Double posting is lame

Looks like Baugh/Skansa's old building

What is all this insider crap you guys are talking about. Air the dirt for everyone. I assume you took umbrage at how some club handled a presentation. Which club?

Waaah! make them stop it Mr Moderator. My delicate middle class PC sensibilities are offended

Aren't you in Middle school or something? No, I've graduated college. You? In 1985

Although I voted for her, Patty Murray's pre-1992 resume is so thin, she makes Sarah Palin appear to be head of NASA and the UN

Second best post of this thread

The best post of this thread.

Is it because Paris is "pay to poo"? Downtown Seattle was frre to poo, so the outhouses became the choice for street bums and whores

Why did it take sooo long? The one having the most fun

Odd quote by Scott Cosgrove there at that link. I assume that both Scott Cosgrove's are one in the same. The stuntman looks a little different from the Scott I knew, but the quote by Scott Cosgrove the stuntman is almost entirely about himself, and have little to do with little Jackie

You're just saying that. You still want to know what I say about you and your posts, because you're like everyone else on these boards. You are about you

You're right. It isn't your fault that you are slightly challenged. It's all that radioactive drinking water you guzzle

Sounds like the talk of a loser. Like some little intellectual pip-squeek who decided to battle a giant and lost. Loser

Bring it! And excuses are like assholes, everyone has one. Simple fact is I dominated you intellectually

Earlier discussion It is all just legal posturing through their lap dog DPM

And many non-competes are judgesd to be non-enforceable. It is unlikely that the "trade" secrets which are alledged to have been proffered from Mad Rock amounts to a hill of beans. It is not like the R&D department of Mad Rock is anything akin to that of MSFT or Boeing. It is probably more likely a copy, caliper and reverse engineer operation

A rather good synopsis of the reality, and how it affects climbing gear as a whole. Bottom feeders fighting amoung themselves for some rotten flounders Not needed

Back to the original subject; this sort of thing is actually common, and that is why there is a tort and court system. Deadpoint magazine has apparently taken sides. I would imagine that the truth is murkier than DPM makes it appear. This subject is actually rather old, and was first beat upon here (?) and at Supertopo probably a year ago. Based on their products, I always assumed that Mad Rock was going for the WalMart crowd, not too much (if any) innovation in their stuff - just a good price point. I'm sure Climb X will follow this model of producing crap at a cheap price.

Like just I told you Sobo
