  1. wasn't annoyed meself, just trying to parse jim, conundrum that he is - he made it sound like he was opposed to it 100% i usually don't climb yw w/ a rope more than a time or 2 a season anyhow so it makes no difference to me - it's ya'lls trade route and if you thought it was jingus than kewl - i just don't understand why jim's so amped over it.
  2. jim opdyck - moon-base warrior! hey kyle, you forgot to share your story of jim brow-beating you to jug on a line fixed to aluminium rap-rings! when the hell did geoff get my line attached to him?
  3. seems to me 99% of the folks here are opposed to power drilling hand drilling by its laborious nature oughta keep the total # of bolts/routes quite low if the law is clear on the subject of power drilling, there should be clear legal penalites for it trails will ultimately be more destructive, but trails already exist in wildernesses (or at least will if enough people go walking through it, and to say a wilderness should never have people in it is absurd) and again, w/o a ton of routes, there aren't going to be a lot of climber trails dawg, its your "discussion" - is your view the same as bug's?
  4. "The Wilderness Act of 1964 institutionalized an idea, describing a wilderness as "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." By definition, then, it was a place where vehicles would not be allowed, where no permanent camps or structures could be made, where wildlife and its habitat would be kept in as primitive a condition as possible."" Excerpted from Wilderness America, a 1990 publication of The Wilderness Society. so can i score that as a "no" or not? is this issue then the bolts or the power-drilled bolts?
  5. dawg the discussion's over - the positions have been stated, the reasons provided and all sides further entrenched - at this point there's nothing left to do but fucking curse - has one person changed their mind or made progress one way or t'other? for yourself, i don't reall you answering a serious question but i'll restate it for shits'n'giggles: if the whole thing was chopped and reinstalled by hand, would you stfu up about it?

    Why climb?

    shall we anticipate your answer to "why do you wear a 2 piece to the top of a mtn?"
  7. um...if the offender more or less anonymously sent the pin back, why on earth would he want to contact you now? what kind of condition did it come back in? you reset it back at the notch yet? side question: heard you were replacing bolts on young warriors (jim suuuure don't like that) - which ones and how'd they look upon extraction? never would have thought that any of them were crap, save the old homemade job on the smoke ledge and a couple of the smc thin hanger guys on the last pitch

    Why climb?

    pink floyd already fielded that one: If you're taking your girlfriend Out tonight You'd better park the car Well out of sight. Cause if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her locks, They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box. You better run.

    Why climb?

    there's plenty of depth there hombre - the answers are absurd b/c the activity is absurd b/c life-as-a-meat-puppet is absurd if you're looking for a more deeply meaningful hobby consider macrame at any rate, the interwubs are the enemy of philosphy - here the golden rule is keep it under 100 characters or stfu!

  19. i like this part: "In Texas, where barely two-thirds of the population have full health insurance and over a fifth of all children have no cover at all, opposition to the legislation is currently running at 87%." hardly suprising - this is the country that started off by saying all men were equal when maybe a tenth of the population had sufferage, and a place that might as well call itself the united states of jeebus but overwhelmingly supports capital punishment for damn near any offense despite the whole "he who is w/o sin yadda yadda yadda" parable
