fuck off, before i beat you silly with my cane...show some respect, sonny...

then...go outside, scare yourself silly even though you are freakishly strong, cuz you have not a clue as how to stand where you are, place gear efficiently and jam...

...and wash those meds down with folgers...you starbuck swillin' frape latte mocha soy breve drinkin wuss

You're so old-school, RuMR! ala Jim Karnage!

I think the theory is that if you constantly snack while watching calories, you won't get famished and gorge yourself as in the three meal scenario...this then eliminates the mandatory finger down the throat hurl...

whatever patti...

i love his description of what it did to him physically...just the shear abuse of working those routes would kill most of us...

just think Joseph, when you are in your walker and cane setup, you will be able to get to all of these new handicapped access sites!

too much effort...climb in the gym m-f, then on the weekend head to the NRG or Seneca! actually, i kinda like the climbing at great falls, real technical, too short, but its good stuff for what it is...i suspect these days with a good pad these days, you wouldn't even rope up for most of it... man, that shcist is SLICK...

that place makes 38 look like ceuse

hmmm...plastic or Great Falls and Carderrock...tough call there...

MOTHERFUCKINGSLANDEROUSLIARSACKOFSHITFASCISTGRRRRUUUUMBLEGRKRKFRGARKINGSCHNRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH.... Oh, shit! My brain! CALL 911! I think I'm aneurysming! you spelled "fucking" wrong...dumb ass...

...and don't forget el potero chico

fuck yeah!!! IF I'M GONNA BE FAT I'M GONNA ENJOY IT!!!!!

...cue...Pope to post via ferrata photo...

well...my guess is that it will go the way of Europe...ie there is climbing in every single town and it is totally mainstream and accepted by the society and landowners...

hear hear! they can and did grid bolt that hillside, but who cares! I really don't...

Caldwell did not come out of a gym...his pop started him off...

...and this is different from real life how?

fuckoff... quit laughing at my man-boobs...

is taping them aid?

i don't know...one of my best climbing buds (best not necessarily in ability but in terms of favorite) has either won nationals or placed in the top 5, placed 2nd in junior worlds in europe. But this kid digs Indian Creek and Yosemite over everywhere else he has been...Totally favors a weekend cragging trip to squish over going to a gym...prefers index to si and on and on... I think it is more the individual than the activity that is defining...people gravitate towards what they like and prefer so dissing someONE because of what they do is kinda lame.

Seriously, for trad climbing, the absolute best training is to go trad climbing...gym doesn't translate too closely except to sport routes...IMHO

...especially shirtless!!... Knottygirl, you should drop the shirt and crank the rads!!

sheesh... get over yourself, Joseph...those that want a "personal" journey can go run around in the mountains... Those that get off on comps can go crank on plastic...I watch our local team practice and it is totally rad to see the support and pushing each other that they are into...on top of that, my six year old is in the LittleRockers program...what he gets out of that is completely different from what he gets out of a camping/climbing trip with his doddering old fool of a dad...but both have value... Joseph, you strike me as very judgemental...you should look it in the light of skiing...going out with some buddies and skiing b/c vs. FIS world cup events...both rock in their own way... How can you say "wrong mindset and approach"????? This is very baffling to me...
