Blew off my FORTRAN 77 final exam to go climbing. Didn't pass the class, took me three more tries to get the grade and graduate. My response to the prof was, "I'm gonna be an engineer. If I had wanted to be a computer programmer, I would've majored in Computer Science." He wasn't amused...
Professer Crittendon? That guy was a DICK!

I think he understands what you are saying as he has repeatedly asked to be taken out trad climbing. I'm still not sure why everyone's ripping him a new one for bouldering?? WTF, he's having fun w/ it...
i didn't rip in too him... i ripped into SHERMAN!
According to what i gather you are saying, we oughta just do away w/ all ratings then?!?!
and i fail to see how bouldering is a "stupid" pastime.
don't read too far in between the lines.
Boulderin ratings are Dumb
Boulderin is a stupid past-time when I can't climb real BIG rocks that require ropes, gear, gumption, etc.
Well...i've been reduced to bouldering and plastic due to family...I agree that it sux big time compared to getting on big stuff, but man, if that's all you got, that's all you got and you'd better be happy w/ it, or you'll go crazy
Regarding
, anytime...i'm always up for being the devil's advocate!!!!! -

JayB said:
Clarification:
In my mind, someone who can crank V5 = someone who has much greater finger strength, footwork, and body position than the average climber. By far. This is very likely someone who will be able to put these skills to use when climbing cracks if they choose to do so, and if they choose to do so they will most likely pick up the physical part of crack climbing fairly quickly. If they stick with it they will get the hang of placing gear, and will most likely climb harder crack routes than folks who cannot handle the average V3 boulder problem.
Climbing alpine routes is a separate issue and obviously involves much more than just finger strength and technical climbing skills, but having said that I can't see how strength and skill will ever be a detriment to anyone, on any route, anywhere, at any time.
I think JayB is on the money here.
Funny thing is: V5 is basically about 11+/12 and isn't sick (I think decent bouldering really kicks in at V8 or higher) and is quite common. So, I guess the questions become...are you good technically and are you good at judgement and the more "cerebral" aspects of climbing to be considered a "good" climber?
Having never climbed w/ AlpineK, GregW, etc., i'm still going to venture a guess that they are giving Distel a hardtime about the other aspects of climbing than the strictly technical side of it. Fair enough...but in his defense, these are things that only come from experience...and experience takes time and initiative to gather it. I don't think he's lacking in the "initiative" side, ie. he, on several occasions, asked to be taken outside to go trad climbing w/ FenceSitter and AlpineK...
But I'll venture another guess: He will become "bored" w/ only the "plastic"/bolt side of things and will start venturing into other aspects of climbing and then he'll start picking up on the mental side of climbing. He is what, 19 and has been climbing for a couple of years? Talk to him when he is 25 - 28 years old and I think you folks will be eating a bit of crow. I can't count the number of times i've seen a really enthusiastic young climber just start sending HARD (and I don't mean 5.10's and 5.11's) trad routes after a start in sport climbing.

Distel32 said:
check out the bouldering gallery.
AlpineK- Why don't you like sit starts? can't get off the ground, no offense but is that why? And comparing bouldering to synchronized swimming, c'mon now, you can do better than that. The problems may be short but let's go bouldering and see how you do and I will gladly attempt to go jam any crack.
But please don't say stupid shit about things you can't do, I can't climb 5.10 crack without hanging, so I don't say shit about it. If we go bouldering and you climb well then it's all good, but don't trash shit you can't do. Very succinctly put!!!!!!!!!! Can't for the life of me figure out why someone has to trash someone else's fun even if its stupid according to their "opinion"...

Goto Barrabes and check the Tenaya brand out. They are ridiculously cheap and climb as well as Sportiva's/FiveTens/Boreals....

Perhaps cams for bigger shiznet is ok for first timers...but for a good read of why one should be really good at dickin' in nutz and small wires as opposed to simply firing in a small cam w/o knowing what the fook they are doing read this:

Not meaning to hassle you, but that would be repelling as opposed to repellent, wouldn't it???
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=repellent
See #2 in the first definition. And make a note to your smart self: Don't fuck with DFA unless you damn sure you know what you're talking about.
Toodles!
Truly an obtuse definition!!
Plus, repelling is a much more active verbal form-and caveman can be very *active* at repelling people, no?
