his point was about the STYLE not about going back and retro-ing it... that was what your whole point of this stupid thread was about right?

No this was YOUTH world's... I wonder how our US kids did?

so should everything be sanitized? should the bachar-yerian get retro'ed? Should El Cap be gridbolted? there's a place for every style out there...not everything needs to be safe, you don't like it/not up to the challenge then move on...

yes...but it was really apparent now...

younger climbers destroyed the older age brackets... is climbing going the way of gymnastics?

please, someone, make the pain go away....please??

big hint: Use search engine...

i did a 5.7c/d just the other day...

werd...never have doubted my metolius stuff...

actually, that's not quite true, now is it? Many of the classics are, but then many are not either... Kev, i'm curious that your main point in any argument is "You don't even climb"...Is it possible to hold an opinion about something without being a climber? Is it possible that perhaps some of the people on this board have a lot of climbing experience at one point in their lives, but are now busy with careers, families, maybe other sports and dabble a little bit? Does it make you feel superior that you are a "climber" whatever that may be?

Thanks IaXX, another winner from the mind of RUMR...

that comes with the whole being married syndrome...most likely those lumps are black-and-blue...they go away with time...

The incident at Paradise fork was because the alien's head fell off when the climber said "take" and weighted it...seems to me that its the mfr's fault in this case...

Rudy, I don't think that you are sore from climbing. Here is what really happens. You come home from climbing, Chris is pissed that you went climbing, Chris doesn't talk to you all night, Chris wakes up the next day and realizes that she is really pissed that you spent the whole previous day climbing, Chris beats the crap out of you, then you get sore the next day from the severe beating you received the day before. Hope that clears it up for you. OMG...it sounds like i have married-syndrome!

no way...that is where i get ALL of my meaningful info on everything!

...use the date range feature...

well go bitch about it IN the ib thread...

That old man syndrome does suck, doesn't it?? Funny thing i find that its not the second day after doing something that hurts, its the day AFTER that day...2 days down the road i feel like i got hit by a truck...its almost like the ol' bod has to figure out that it got beat up, then it gets mad, then it gets even... No power is available on the second day, but there is some endurance though... what gives with that delayed deal??? Anyone else get that??

fell on my head too many times trying to figger out this whole climbing thing...what's your excuse??? Momma drop you on your head too many times??

sweet jens and max!! sounds like a blast...

hmmm...as i suspected...nothing spectacular...carry on folks...
