oh my gosh that is so CUTE! rumor is that's what pinkie told kevvy last night in a *tender* moment...

fanboi == french for tool == cc.com-speak for kevbone

ah yes, another instance where "lick sack" and "dumb shit" were the extent of your replies to anything you disagreed with. hey i think your bottle's calling; you're getting into multi-syllable words ruskie boy. ahhh...another fine example of the Finns poundin' the Russians...

Bawahahahaha!! THat's some funny shite! Nice send, Mikey..PNW represents!

i already tr'd them...cake walks...

i think John's point is that they might snake an FA from someone else via "trickery"...

you and me need to lose some weight! hahahahaha

i like your autosig...

Because it's an incredibly dangerous habit - gear placements aren't bolts. The plain fact is that "plain common sense" seems to be evading tones of crossover folks these days and by that I mean they're way too busy working the moves to be bothered with rechecking the placement after every go at the move. I've been seeing progessively more and more accidents as a result of this over the past ten years. What is dangerous and what is ethical/good style are two different discussions. Dont bad mouth someone else's style behind a guise of "it's dangerous" We all make seperate safety decisions that we alone have to be responsible for that was my point about calling it a red herring...

You must suck at gear... I have yet to pull a piece of gear i've placed that i've considered solid. Can you give me one accident where this has happened? so far none of my friends, or myself have decked from hanging on gear. This is going on now for 24+ years... generally, climbers have a good sense of when the gear is shite and *might* hold a fall and don't fall/weight it if its suspect and when the gear is bomber, well, shit half the time i consider it better than a bolt that i don't know the history of... I've climbed on a lotta different types of rock and haven't witnessed this *trend* of yours personally...Have i been skirting death all these years???????? SHUDDER...anyone wanna buy some used, yet deadly, gear? you are a funny old man...

why is it a "drag"? Why do you care what some monkey shit does with his gear? How is it any different than aiding? Generating a lot of decking accidents of late? Like when? Kinda bs... "anytime you weight of fall on a piece of gear...again"...so what...that's plain common sense and applies whether you are aiding, "sprading", ground upping and lobbing off/lowering", etc. etc. --> red herring You are a strange fellow...its almost like you're getting bent when someone succeeds with different tactics than yours...why do you care???????? For that matter, your views are why TR-ing is dissed sooo much...'cuz its all pussy-like according to you...seriously, what's the difference between hanging on a TR and hanging on a piece of gear?? Its all the same "ethically" in your world... you still haven't answered my question about euro limey centers...but whatever...

so ummmm this pic: where izzit? public info or keepin it lowlow? looks maybe really good? bellingham...

a good part of the reason why bolts were kept to a minimum is because it was a royal pain in the ass to drill by hand and most FA's said "fuck this, i'm climbing"...

hey joseph...have you climbed in the european limestone venues??? If so, what are your impressions/experiences???

one hint that i don't see much from anybody but is key, imho, is to keep hands "away from your face"...ie, avoid pulling straight out on a jam...very hard to get expansion/locking when you are doing that. the jam should either be significantly above your head or below your head...shuffling works well...move the upper hand first, then pull the lower hand up, then repeat...strong climbers will pull jams through, ie. the upper jam is pulled all the way down to below chest and then the next hand is placed as the upper and repeated (gold jams for me)...

I freed a 5.6 the other day....am I not "living my passion"? fuck you kevin... the guy is literally eating, living, breathing climbing...only climbing, nothing else...

also take a look at Jens' free ascent of dragons of eden...that guy is living his passion...

fairweather...agreed! Superbwanker...whatever...

Really... i think he's just pissy cuz he got bouted...

actually, i was thinking more along the lines of Ceuse, Verdon, or any of the other major limestone areas. I might suggest you go and try it...i suspect that you are ace on footwork and would enjoy some of the bolt-protected, technical climbing. it might change or soften some of your stances...plus, the food, women and ambiance rock... cheers, Rudy

Joseph, have you climbed in europe? Just asking, not trying to pick a fight or anything like that...

are you thinking of GM to heart of the country as opposed to GM proper?

its more i'm worried about finger/joint damage than anything else... Keep in mind how hard these kids are training...i just don't know what the long term effects on growing tissues are...i'd hate for this to actually curtail their climbing later...

you say so much stupid shit that i think your vocal cords/brain stem are permanently set on "JOKE MODE"

B I N G O ! its a difficult concept for da 'bone!
