I have a pair of them...I sized them exactly like the pink anasazi's and 1/2 size BIGGER than the velcro anasazi's
What size do you wear? I have a brand new (never worn at all) pair that is a UK 6 (US 7) for a $100.

Fair enough...you answered my question that your attitude wasn't a "knee-jerk" response...I agree that there is a total difference between clipping bolts (actually just a hanging draw, usually) in a well controlled environment and being blasted, hoping for some kind placement w/o knowing what's coming up...
If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain one more time...What do you think of Alan Watt's ascent of the East Face of Monkey face as it was done on preplaced gear, but not permanent gear w/ a fair bit of rehearsal? You can walk up to it now and find it in the same condition as when he first spied the line...no bolts, no nutz, no nothing but the line...How does that fit into your ethics? Or does it?
-
You didn't answer my question...have you ever tried it? And don't reply "I didn't inhale"...
How do you know what i like? What my ethics are? What my choice of protection is? You don't know me and I don't know you...so please refrain from making a judgement about me...I was only agreeing w/ Tim's statement about it seemed that a lot of people are losing sight of the fact that in general climbing should be fun some of the time...Otherwise, what's the point?????
-
Just curious Dwayner...But have you ever gone sport climbing just once, before you ripped it apart? Not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious that's all...

Hey Ropegun1999OldSkool...Not good...didn't even get on it!!! Work bellowed loudly about me even going down for the wedding...so I only spent a day and a half there and then turned around and drove home...man I was pissed!!! Got a bit of bouldering in (i know, totally lame) as that was all i had time for...
But, I'll be down there in September for two weeks...super stoked...
How did your deal go????

Hey Attitude...
Isn't it spelled moraine? Does that make you a moran? Or is it moron??

No...KR got 5th...the kid who won was a Russian citizen, so he can't hold a slot for the world team from the States...They normally take the top four, so KR gets in at 5th...
All in all, the NW kids did pretty well, jurka made the finals, Daniel came in 12 or so...girls did pretty well as well...John Harkness just missed the cut for the 18-19 finals...
HA HA HA you crack me up caveman...I'm definitely neither Max or Lambone...but you can think that if you want...
-
Nice try as far as what?
-
What does colorado have to do w/ climbing or this thread??
![[smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)
Hey Lambone...the boy wonder pulled down at Nationals this weekend...not that its real climbing anyway...
-
Nope...not Lambone...just another tool
Regarding topic, this is a stupid thread anyway...work sucks so I thought I'd stick words into Otherguy's mouth and a stick into a hornets' nest for entertainment...
Brits/Canadians...what's the difference??
(Now there's a jab)... -
Caveman, caveman, caveman...THAT'S AID...different topic...
-
Hey Dru...
That rules...and, to toss in some spice, that would be 1 foot above a crocodile-infested lake, right?
That whole sit-start thing was started by the canadians anyway
-
Touche' I always sucked at devil's advocacy...
i guess i did stick all those words in your mouth and my foot in mine...oh well...
but, i didn't say anything about aidcimbing a 5.12 crack...you did...and spice could be danger or could be physical difficulty or could be combination, right?
Spot is still offered if you fall into category 2 and your buds are stuck in cubicle land...
-
Yeah...but where would something like Godzilla fall? Personally, I could look at that as a really really highball easy boulder problem (your tight rope walking 100 feet off the deck) or I could look at it as a piss-easy 5.9 roped climb (your tight rope walking 10 feet of the deck) w/ a good belayer...
Good point w/ the tight rope walking, though...I'm mainly playing devil's advocate w/ this whole bulletin board...don't really give a crap how/what/when anybody climbs as long as I got some friends to go cragging w/...
-
Look...i ain't trying to pick a fight w/ you...I agree w/ your comments on style/danger/blah blah blah...so what? Its all climbing anyway and as far as that goes, bouldering is just that, climbing period...no belayer, no gear...nothing except your shoes...
You go boulder w/o a spot cuz you're so tough...why the chest beating? I can walk up to a 5.12 crack and lace the freaking thing up and be in absolutely no danger whatsoever...might fall off a few times, then again I might not...but I'm in no danger at all...conversely, I could pop off of something like Midnight Lightning and crack my skull if I screwed up the landing...
Your comment about style is pointless as its all a personal choice anyway...but I'm glad to hear your a ballzout bada$$ climber, that's your choice...
-
what was the comment about scared bitches about then, Mr. Otherguy?? Glad you're not a scared bitch though...
I like to boulder w/ my buds, i also like to crack climb and I also like to sportclimb...hmmm, kinda hate the gym, but often have no choice due to weather/wife/kidz...I think some of the times that I've been the most freaked out was at Hueco bouldering w/ head splitters or leg breakers behind me...maybe we can hook up sometime for climbing? I'll give you a belay if we are on ropes, you can give me a spot if we are bouldering, deal??
-
You sound bitter...what happened? Did some punk kid hike your V0/B0/5.8 little project and piss you off? Could it be that most people boulder to get stronger for climbing, or is that not a realistic concept?
Why do you have to make a judgement about it? So what if bouldering is on a shorter route...what about doing all facets of climbing?
-
Hmmmm...ok, guess i don't know anything...why don't you go screw a goat or sumpin'??
-
So...would a *solo* be considered a successful lead? If so, then soloing would also be called a redpoint wouldn't it? Bouldering w/o a rope is soloing, particularly if its a highball, right? Then it follows that you've redpointed your little pebble-climb, right?
Agreed that toproping is simply toproping and nothing else...but if you'd seen some of the highballs going up every now and then, I think you'd consider them climbs in their own right...
GODZILLA: WHY IM HARD

I'm w/ TimL here...its all good...why classify oneself as a trad or sport climber? Go climb bolted faces...go climb multi-pitch trad routes...go climb at Smith...go climb at index or yosemite or indian creek or rifle...if its raining and your wife is giving you grief about road-trippin' w/ buds go pull on plastic, who cares (but you) anyway? If you lump yourself in a category, you've just halved your fun and that's stupid...I enjoy an onsight at my limit, but i also enjoy beating a route into the ground and finally walking away having sent something that kicked my a$$ previously...and I believe that makes you a better climber, period...
