No matt, you missed what i was saying...I specifically said people's FIRST time in an offwidth and that i was trying to relate what its like to him...i know how to climb offwidths, blah blah blah...but the first time that one ventures into an ow is a real eyeopener that there is absolutely NO comparison between gym ratings and a 100 ft offwidth pitch...
You are right...Face climbing is totally intuitive...its a ladder...particularly in the gym...if you don't know the particular technique for an offwidth of a given size, its extremely frustrating and draining...
has just gotten into climbing (1 day outside, few weeks in the gym) and just watched the JackO stint and asked "So how hard is the Salathe?"
I'm trying to relate to him what a sustained wide crack feels like for your first time ever...he's not "getting" it...he keeps looking at me with that look that says "but its rated less than 5.10 how bad could it be"...
how best to describe this to someone who has only been in the gym...
Funny Jon, but 2 days was 5 days, and the worker told me that Priority Mail would get there on time. And as promised, I haven't whined in the past week, and you won't see another whine from me.
quit crying about it then...
I think they should make the miners take English classes, and Gary should grade their papers. The union bosses will tell Gary when he needs to finish grading. "I said now". "Are you done yet?".
gary would open his mouff and get the shit kicked out of him in two seconds flat...he'd be the gopher boy...as in "go for" this and that...
