True, everybody but me hates me.

Does it work well? I'll have to try some.

Cause everybody hates me.

Just got back.

Who uses brown klister?

YOU ARE A CUNT TODAY A REAL FUCKING CUNT. ALL I DID WAS POST A MONTY FUCKING PYTHON WEB SITE FOR THE TWIT OF THE FUCKING GOD DAMN YEAR AND YOU GO FUCKING POSTAL. WELL FUCK YOU YOU GOD DAMN CUNT, MOTHER FUCKING, BULL PECKER, ASS HOLE SHIT BASTARD OF A LIBERAL SHIT FACE PISS ANT OF A WHIMP. Now bitch how is that for an up bringing you fuck face son-of-a-bitch. hahahhahahah Sisu, go check yourself into the nearest psych ward. NOW! Talk about anger management...

Dammit. Hoodoo is an eyesore. "We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, burn!"

All of the above. Except 'spiritual'.

What a load of bullshit. The Mounties do not advocate hiking up Si in plastics. They do define as being in shape enough for the course as being able to hike up Mt. Si with a full daypack in 2:15. The Mounties also insist in their course docs, "Plastic boots are great for glacier climbs, but not suitable as your only climbing footwear. " A good climb leader for the Mounties will recommend students *not* to wear plastics on climbs like Eldorado. This thread just sucks by now. Do what you want. BTW, GY, trolling you is so easy that it's boring.

Mounties.

Again, I'd like to see you lead real 5.9 in the mountains in big boots. I'll even time you! And this is why Mounties wear plastics on Si? To 'practice'? I am comfortable in boots on rock, but no matter how comfortable you are, you WILL be faster on rock wearing rock shoes. I can see that you might climb easier routes in boots to get used to climbing is clodhoppers, but this doesn't make sense when it comes to basic mounties who would flail no matter what footwear they've got on. But why make it more difficult if it is already difficult? I'm beginning to see why I find you so annoying.

aH BITE ME I'll take you up on that....

Besides, any 'mixed climb' with rock up to 5.9 would not be considered 'moderate', at least not around here. In chamonix maybe.

That's stupid. The mounties have trained you well. It is easier/safer/more efficient to wear rock shoes on technical terrain, even though you have to pack the boots. Besides, on pretty much any pitch harder than 5.5 or so in the mountains, rock shoes will make you climb so much faster. If there's no need for boots, why wear em?

YOU ARE ALL ANGRY HIPPIES. BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE IMPOTENT!

j_b, I would like to see you lead both Gendarme pitches of NR Stuart in Sportiva Nepal Extremes.

You'll make a good climber someday, Dryad.

You mean BeckFest?

No, the point is, you don't need boots on the tooth in summer. All you need is sneakers and a pair of rock shoes.

Here, for example.

It's starting to sound like a group of surfers, or ffishers, or skiiers...... Telemarkers, even!

Two hours and twentyone minutes.

Yeah, Petey!

I think you are taking this too far. I doubt that an article like that is going to put cyclists in greater danger than they would otherwise be in.
