I'd get him into a stance about a foot off the ground, have him place some protection, attach a quickdraw between the placement and his harness, and then spot him as he weighted it. Once he got the hang of it, I couldn't get him to stop! Meanwhile, my 3 year old ran around with a helmet and a loaded gear sling made from a runner thrown over his shoulder.[/QB] Bitchin'!!! I've got another year before I start that; she's quite the climber already though. I think she could pass the Mountaineer's Scrambling Course as long as there is no written test. Greg

quote: Originally posted by jkrueger: New Ethic. Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?. Webster says: Ethic: 1.A principle of right or good conduct, 2.A system or moral values So a "new ethic", in my view, would mean that a shift in thinking has taken place that would alter the previous (or "old") principle of right or good conduct. This may well be what is taking place with the influx of "sport climbing." Ethics are also geographical; there are style/ethic differences from East Coast to West Coast, for sure. quote: I had the understanding that ethics at crags were established over time. Things change, and styles come in and out of favor, but to completely disregard an established ethic is, in my opinion, simply disrespectful.I think ethics only survive if the previous generation passes them onto a new generation of climbers. With floods of kids learning to climb in the gym this seems almost impossible, no? I have a friend who recently took a rock climbing class (don't know where) and I will be interested in what they taught her on ethics and style. Greg

Swarm Mountaineer's Dome with ropes, gear, etc. Haul a keg and hibachi to the top. Have Charlie bring the REALLY offensive rap music and everybody donate batteries.

quote: Originally posted by dberdinka: ...Is this the future? To a certain degree, I think, yes. A generation of climbers is being brought up, or introduced to climbing, in the relative safety of the climbing gym. Thus, "badass" gym climbers make the move outdoors without the benefit of an education in style and ethics, or with ethics and style jaded by the safe bolt locations on indoor lead climbs. That's my opinion. Climb on...it's fun. Greg

There was an article about Little Switzerland in Climbing Magazine maybe a year or two ago; don't remember off the top of my head. A search on www.climbing.com might net you some info. [ 06-12-2002, 04:05 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

...And that would be where the similarity ends...

Also, ladies, LADIES,...it's not the pants/dress/skirt that makes you look fat, it's the fat that makes you look fat! Don't ask us!!! Greg

Thank you. I will print this and include it as the main portion of my pre-nuptial agreement! Greg

Is there a dark, subversive side to MattP that only trained law enforcement can spot? I have met MattP, and climbed with him, and he seems like a pretty mellow guy. Am I missing something? Should I be concerned about Government agents storming out of the woods if I climb with him? Sorry I missed P.C., sounded fun. Greg

I would be proud to be on the list (long I am sure) of people that think you are a whiney bitch and a dickhead. I might even have stickers made up, t-shirts, a website; I'd probably make millions.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: Why not explore thge mountain from the ground up instead of on rappel silly. Its not in the guidebook or anything Do you really think it's wise to go poking around in an area that's not in the guidebook? Let's be responsible out there. Greg

quote: Originally posted by Bronco: Hey Greg: Don't you think goin climbin on fathers day is a good way to get locked out of the house and have to bivy on the couch when you get in? As a father, Father's Day is MY day. Our philosophy is that Father should spend HIS day as HE's would like (climbed The Brothers two years ago). Thus, as climbing brings me much joy that is what I want to do. Plus, I come home in a good mood and all benefit!!! So, that said, I am still looking for some fellow gapers who want to climb in Darrington this weekend...Anyone?.......Anyone?....Bueler? Greg [ 06-11-2002, 01:52 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

I saw that article, wasn't the Mountaineer's phone number at the bottom with a schedule of Basic Climbing courses?
