Perhaps if this person just tweaked the content a little bit. Say, maybe have married or otherwise partnered-up individuals write up trip reports about how their spouse made them buy groceries and do the dishes instead of hitting up the crags. Call it 'The Pussy-whipping Post'. Word.

True fact, 99% of the time. But your argument misses the real issue, i.e. gym climbing vs. sport climbing vis a vis sport climbing's legitimacy as an element of climbing when compared to trad climbing. And can the broads and bucks in the 'Stone Nudes' calendars actually be considered to be climbing? Discuss.

A sampling of cracks and slabs, punctuated by cheese & crackers, and of course lounging. Posh.

Fuckin' double -

Fuckin' Hedgehog.

"should be quiet tonight but it's not alright 'cause they're plannin' something don't you know things have settled down, down, down but silence is a dangerous sound we must we must we must we must we must we must we must we must we must we must we must we must keep our eyes OPEN!" Name that tune, kids!

They won't?! BOYCOTT KINKO'S!

Let's get something straight, padna: The vast majority of people who bring their loud-barking shit-factories to the park are trad climbing hippies. Real sport climbers have better things to do than to overdevelop their leg muscles lugging puppy chow and gallons of extra water all over Smith.

Y'know, it's good to see people using words like "cogent." Let's all make it our goal to use "cogent" in a sentence this weekend, shall we?

Those bolted cracks look like a real whiz-bang good time! Someone should bolt up Cinnamon Slab and Lion's Jaw!

That shit gets your shoes all dusty, too; you'll be skating off window ledge-sized buckets before you know it. It's hell on the knees, too. Whoever thought up using that shit should be pilloried!

Hey, dammit! That's DFA's M.O.!

Just get a hammer and smack some of them pinions into a crack and you just climb up those nylon step-ladders they got, and you go right to the top. Nothin' to it.

If you had read the link to K2's website, you'd see that "experts" did make up the name for it. Specifically, K2's women's ski team, or one of the team members, at least.

That's it. You've lost your fucking mind! "drinkin' beer for breakfast makes the whole day painless"

And where is that evil bitch Pope? He's the scalawag who started this ballyhoo, and he's simply left it simmering all day, blissfully unaware of the holy havoc he's wrought. The dweeb! He's probably out climbing or something!

Dwayner, Dwayner, Dwayner ... you avoid name-calling, but turn right around and belittle an aspect of climbing that many of us participate in and enjoy, and, by extension, you belittle those of us who enjoy it, whether by making remarks about our lack of intelligence, technical know-how, or, God forbid, our fashion sense. Do you imagine this to be a higher road than telling someone they're acting like they're 12 years old? And while you claim to and may indeed actually be taking none of this seriously (aside from your ideals, of course, which you seem, logically, to take quite seriously) and just having a fun time deriding the pastime we call sport climbing, you fail to realize that most of the slag piled back upon you, by DFA at least, is delivered with tongue firmly in cheek as well.

There's gender-based difference in everything. Seems like the feminist idea that women are people too (perfectly valid) has grown into the femi-pissed ideal that men and women are the same. But there's nothing fundamentally wrong with being different, is there? And if you look at the majority of women in sports as compared to men, in general women are less aggro. Obviously, there are plenty of exceptions, but it's typically true. But just because they're less aggro doesn't mean they're less adept. Witness the male climber powering his way through long moves and dragging his feet along like so much ballast, while a woman climbing the same sequence will use a bunch of tiny crimps the man wouldn't even stand on, and finesse her way through the sequence. Likewise, you see far fewer women hucking off jumps on their snow toys, etc. So if, in general, women are less aggro about the way they ski, why not a softer ski? Don't fancy yourself to be one of those less-aggro woman types? Buy the man ski and go rip! Jeez, DFA must be bored ...

But RuMR, you forget that unlike your assumptions, Dwayner's are correct.

Aw, man! The Team Harsh Realm website is apparently down! Were the 'Climbing Is My Weapon' shirts left over from their, um, expedition?

When that Powerpuff Girls movie came out, DFA saw Powerpuff Girls cereal at Fred Meyer. It was like Rice Krispies or something, but it had Pop Rocks in it! Can you imagine staring down a bowl of that shit first thing in the morning? Ugh ... you can almost feel your breakfast coming back up just thinking about it!
