that is awesome...i've considered that, but my job and my wife's won't allow for it...also, i don't have the ballz to actually go for it in the sense that i wouldn't want to mess my kids up...

he was spooked at one spot...part of what took him so long was that he was out of gear at the top and was frozen with fear...

i have been very happy with the edelweiss...a little spendy but the thing has been indestructible...also, have had good luck with mammuts...

somehow, to me, your tool organization doesn't really stack up against a first rate competition team (team vertical world) or youth climbing programs...also, they don't hog outdoor cliffs or preach doctrine... I love watching a mountie leader placing 8 pieces in a body length on a 5.4 taking well over an hour to lead 70 feet...

LAID! dumbarse...

arrrrrrrrrghhh...

naw - he still climbs (and to my limited knowledge, at a higher grade on rock than you - come climb both pitches of flying swallow and flying dutchman w/ me this summer and we can both see how we measure up to what he's done) but he doesn't have the same alpine ambitions as you, john - he doesn't do big mtns/ice/extreme adventure stuff. similiar to you, i don't understand how anyone can love and be so good at one part of the equation and be so lackadasical about the other, but that's the way it is. at any rate, jim opdyke considers him as a son, and that's good enough for me to stick up for him, regardless of him climbing el cap or anything else, 10 years ago or 10 minute. i think well of you too, so let's just talk about climbing, which we all love in one form or another, in whatever shape we find ourselves in, from the depths of our slothful torpor or the zenith of our driven training routine. i'd add, i generally like chestbeating - for fucks sake, what's the point of doing something if you can't get a crowd of nameless/faceless fucks to salute you for it? does anyone really think we've evolved away from our simian, primitive need to vindicate our preternatural excursions (our meaningless combats, far from the eyes of the world, as terray put it?) dood, you sound like a PNW'er...get in touch with your inner Least Coast Asshole please...

don't get all soft on me...i need to be able to vent at the cube farm or i'm gonna explode here...

John, i think you are great 90% of the time, but man, seriously, sometimes you post shit that just gets me rollin'...People that know you personally and well obviously don't see it the same way i do, so i am completely reading it wrong, likely...

yes big man w/ little boy complex...you are much more subtle nowadays...you thought you were subtle on GP but were informed otherwise...now, you drop a grade, propose that it is completely moderate and hint that if you aren't climbing that level then you don't know what up...of course, reading between the lines, a reader is left with the impression that such a grade is a mere casual stroll to you, oh great one... very subtle john, your chestbeats have become far more "subtle" and silky... don't you have a mark twat idolation seminar to attend???

Pink may have climbed el cap eight times or whatever and yes that is super rad but what has he done lately? When was the last time he climbed el cap? Was it in this decade? Pink reminds me of the classic "Uncle Rico Napoleon Dynamite" type... sure he may have taken his HS team to State and loves to tell you about it but you ask him what is going on in his life now and you get a blank stare... maybe pink is retired from climbing? John...please shut the fuck up...people age, they quit climbing, they move on, maybe they come back, maybe they don't...maybe they don't train compulsively anymore...maybe they really do go and climb moderates only moderates now and don't feel the need to *chestbeat* girth pillar style...

whatever...you'd be digging that...

fuggit...i hate my goddamn job... I'm going to stick this out for the year, and then i'm going on sabbatical...i'm not kidding... Oh, and bug, i finished that one project and just got tossed into a worse situation...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK THIS>..

my point is he completely sprays these little nuggets without any substantive weight behind him... it is true, as he pointed out, that 5.13 is becoming commonplace; however, his wording (and i believe it to be on purpose) leaves the reader with the impression that NOLSe is climbing at this "moderate" standard. He may, or he may not be, and that is irrelevent...He should not be coy though...

so these guys are gonna call dibs, right?? FENDERFUCK, please post a warning for all to see!!
