...and then once, like, i went to an REI store, and like, got all ferocious-looking-like and scared the employees into giving me another helmet...it was RAD geer notes: one helmet, freshly sat upon two beerz, for liquid courage one puny employee keyboard for chestbeat spray fest tr Approach notes: -go up the stairs to the customer service dep't -locate most-frightened looking employee -start hyperventilation and foaming at the mouth to more closely approximate a rabid tool -quickly locate nearest cybercafe to spray while the adrenaline is flowin'

also, you have to admit that people with tape tend to "drag" their jams until they catch...placing their hands like chocks, so to speak, instead of jamming...so in that sense, they are aid...

Bullshit to you...i prefer no tape and i do find it less secure...particularly when its hot out... and in flares, tape is absolutely shitty...i much prefer skin dried with chalk for flares of all sizes...

tape is aid and less secure...period...

wait a minute...are you taping for crack climbing or because of interior pain????? tape gloves won't do shit for wrist aching...

Exactly what type of sponge were you "squeezing"?

hey pipe down... besides, a lot of that "15-20" lbs is water weight...

i'm not sure if you are a beginner or not, but i'll assume that you are... If you are taping due to tendonitis (this would be your aching wrists) your best bet is to forego the tape and back off in either intensity, or frequency or both until the aching goes away. The taping will do absolutely squat for you...

a buitch? or a biutch?

Shoulder length blond hair, about 5'5", between 35-40? don't admit to anything!! W/O witnesses they can't prove a thing...

ha! we were out there on sunday...good timez...

calling Kevbone! your services are required...

so are you gonna retro it???

how can you be out of shape when climbing is your "like"? Do it as one pitch from the ground...(3) 35 - 40 foot pitches is stupid...

accident involving trauma and sar?

well FWIW, i sport climb a ton and do other climbing as well... actually, i don't do much now...

so tell me, which has better style, the BY or some bolted choss pile on a road cut?

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??
