no reason to 'splain yourself to an idiot, holly...

when are you back in town, Mike?

hey holly... We'll be down there on Sunday...

wow dude...you're an asshole...

yeah, maybe if u were standing on a barstool.... nah, didn't need to...you were all bent over on yer knees from servicing kevin, tool...

seriously...i miss climbing...a lot...

That would be the one on the end of my leg that i use to kick Pink in the ass...

my current all around best shoe is lace or velcro anazasi

That didn't exist 20 years ago...duh...

the original boreal lasers and ninjas were so far ahead of anything else it wasn't funny...

yep! Were you doing that??

Excellent advice...

I think you're kind of harsh on Pink. After reading his postings here, I think its safe to assume that he was rightfully offended by Barak's comments, because he, like many other delightful unique individuals, was an actual Special Olympics competitor. Pink, what event did you compete in? the midget toss you pullin' yer pud again??

trout creek would be good...climb in the gorge too...that said, your best bet is to still go down there...

I would suggest a "field trip" to yosemite first to check out yosemite style climbing. Where have you climbed before?

good thing you have so much practice with one hand...

classic post!

happy bday...you old fuck...

PFFFFFTTTTT!!!!

wow...an adult amongst us! Well said Dane...

I read nothing that shows he was mouthing off...more like some one was trashtalking and marc pointed it out...then the guy gets all huffy, calls him a puke and warns him not to go "down that road"... to clarify, what marc said, was come up here, go climbing with me and we'll see who's the "better" climber...then Choada got his panties in a bunch and basically said "I can still kick your ass"... that's the way i read it...

You're proving my point for me, youth. "Knowing what you're doing" comes from "experience". You lack the experience, for example, to understand the proud tradition of man/sheep sex graffiti in the Pacific Northwest climbing community and you're showing your hubris by casting aspersions towards an unknown climber (Was that my lead?) over the screw count on a pitch. Why's that? (And we only brought ten screws, so it couldn't have been, like, 14.) Here's a little thought experiment that may answer mattp's question ("WTF?"): You're 16 now. Remember when you were 8? Remember how clueless and immature you were at the time, compared to yourself now? Now, imagine that you're 32. How clueless and immature will the 16 year old you look to the 32 year old you? You clearly have natural talent, fitness, skill, and plenty of motivation. That's awesome. I wish I had that at your age. I was too busy getting laid. Sure, you've done some climbing, and don't take this too personally, but you're still a kid, and as such you lack two things that I think are very important to the issue at hand (the safety of a "minor" as a climbing partner): a fully formed brain and an "adult perspective". For example: kids your age, especially boys, are not skilled at fully evaluating the consequences of their actions before they take those actions. Additionally, if you we're to evaluate your potential actions before taking them, you'd be doing so through a lens of experiences and perspectives of a 16 year old. What potential consequences would the 32 year old you come up with? The 16 year old you asks a total stranger to "come up here and say that to my face". Hopefully the 32 year old you wouldn't. I had a friend learn that one by regaining consciousness in an MRI after getting his face kicked in. see choada...you can talk like a 32 year old...sheesh...

First this: Then this: It may be over the line, but I say marc threw the glove down first. I think Marc's point was that he's every bit as competent as the loud mouf buffoon... Oh, and Choada, you talk like that to one of my kids, its gonna get ugly...Legal ugly...you big bad ass

BAWHAHAHAHA

wow...challenging a 16yo to a physical confrontation? WTF...you need to grow up, jerk...
