Yeah those cancucks are going to clean house! Sean McColl, Jordan Wright, Vince and Jamie Chong, and Pat (can't remember last name). Luckily none of them are in my divsion! It will be really entertaining to watch! Sean is just plain sick Rudy: where are you going to be this weekend? you and kyle aren't coming?

is it possible to boulder with a shirt on? I never take my shirt off to climb, 3 of the 4 problems pictured are pretty hard as well, strong dudes like to climb shirtless

Who's climbing in it or just going to watch those sick mofo's from vancouver crush some plastic! I heard there is also going to be a dyno comp! Anybody want to watch me fall off v0??

YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF THIS THREAD, I'M SORRY BUT YOU CAN NO LONGER POST ON THIS TOPIC. THIS IS THE END, MY ONLY FRIEND, THE END........

I don't think living ethics apply to climbing ethics

There is another phrase for situational ethics: common sense. To reject common sense in favor of some black and white rules is the practice of someone who doesn't want to live in a thinking, conscous world. Go find yourself a nice totalitarian state where you and the other bolt bigots can make yourself at home. Free the bolts. Free the bolts. Free the bolts and we're all free to have fun at last! Matt should be made "Master of CC.com" some mod needs to get right on his new title!

word to big bird lummox! I'm off to boldering.com suckas, hahahahah time to debate over crashpads and who has better slopers: HP40, LCC, or Squampton

Pope please check your PMs and respond

Klem must be a pussy because I heard Pope say this shit was easy!!!!

Low adventure: Low Challenge:

Too many rap bolted sport routes are low adventure low challenge?? HAHAHA my friend you have not been climbing enough sport! either that or you are climbing 5.14. That statement cannot be taken seriously be anyone unless you are climbing sport routes all over the world and all grades, from 5.5 to 5.15. Poor argument

Yours are excellent as well Matt! But they are long and sometimes I skim I have only been climbing a little over 14 months so I can't speak for 1975, but I do try to stay up to date with how the sport is evolving now. Bolts aren't going to stop, whether you want to chop them or you are standing in line with the Bosch, the bolts are going to start going up more in the US. In Europe and canada long bolted routes are already standard, it is only a matter of time my friends..... Luke

For cracked: Yes Daniel Dulac fell from the crux and broke his ankle. Then right after Tony Lamiche did it. The video that I saw of the Fly looked like a bad landing but nothing terrible. If you blew off the top of some problems in Squamish you would be much worse off: Praying for Mojo, Physics Hyperbole, Chris Arete, etc. Bolts: Pope I have trouble taking your views seriously. Like someone stated on the previous page it is ok to place bolts if you're on lead or there is deathfall?? I'm sorry but those arguments just aren't very strong. Saying your bolts are the only acceptible ones on a dome with many sport climbs? Scott: You said one pitch cragging is worthless but I'm sure you have done a fair amount of it (go team JD). I'm completely with RuMR his arguements I think reflect the majority of all climbers. Put in perspective this whole entire population of climbers and how many people simply climb one pitch cragging stuff. IMHO

Erik: Kehl didn't TR "Evilution" and that is twice as high as "The Fly" Crux of evilution is at 25ft, crux of the fly 3ft.

fuck bolts and RPs, do it Kehl style and solo the mothafucka

Ian Caldwell has climbed 14a, and he put up a 10b at Smith among other routes. Please tell me scott how that is glorifying???? I'm with rumr on this one. Cleaning a route ie hard faqing work, I just know that from cleaning numerous boulders that are about 1/12th the size of sport routes put up around here. Chopping bolts is more of a law thing than placing bolts. Same thing as somebody painting a "Caution children" sign to place in the street and having someone come and take it down because they put a whole in the ground instead of making a stand for it so it doesn't hurt the environment. Bolts are a safety factor in most cases.

Yeah I hear ya, some of these kids out there are really cranking!!! Bouldering is still good, no matter how old you are. When Erik and I went to bishop we saw Croft just walking through the happies with his shoes and chalk, he's got to be forty something. Lots of "older" (as in older than myself ) guys boulder, plus the feeling of sending something at your limit is soooo goood! I wouldn't know about that but ask RuMR

If you are going for a hard redpoint, onsight, flash, or boulder problem, what are some things you try to do mentally to prepare? I feel that the harder I climb, strength is even more so an issue but so is the mental side. For my bouldering it seems that the harder ones I try there is usually (obviously not always) one move that is harder than the rest. Sometime it is hard for me to keep my cool if I get past that move from the start and finish the problem. How do you prepare mentally? I think this applies to all facets of climbing when you are trying to breakthrough. I try to stay calm and always distract myself when I start the problem. Think about the moves before hand, but then sing a song or try to think of another problem I did and battling through it. Sometimes this works, but then there are always problems where you just need to dig a little dipper and scream and it works. "GRRRUUHHHHH"

word, v9's ARE easier than v8s, WTF?

NEW STICKER IDEA!!!!

I know it!!!! In the great words of RuMR "I am so suck" Bouldering, hey Mikey Likes it!

Anybody going to be down in Bishop over thanksgiving?? If so shoot me a pm and we can meet up and do some killer bouldering!

What?!? Is Bishop like way harder rateings? You got pics of yourself on V8s(I'm guessing you sent them). I'm pretty suck, I actually haven't done an 8 yet, been agonizingly close though (I'm actually still bitter). The 7 count is going up though so that is indeed good. This trip and Bishop during winter break, time to send multiple 7s and 8s.
