Sphinx

wat was it fucking? Yur mom.

They got killed by the missiles, not gunfire.

Go ride a cat up Hood , wanker, you've got too much time on your hands.

YOU SUCK!

Plenty snow. Go for it.

Old Skool sucked major ass. I can't believe I wasted two hours on that POS.

Remember, if you want to carry skis, don't buy the Arc'teryx. Two of the compression straps don't release, so lashing skis on is very difficult.

ALL you fucking fuckers fucking SUCK!

Calm down, kids. I'd say it is indeed stupid to rope up and not place pro anyplace othen than a simple glacier. Fairweather: yes, falling climbers are a danger no matter what, but the rope multiplies their effect by 150. I'd agree with Glagow.

huh?

The idea is that when one person slips, the others can arrest and hold him. Tends not to work well, though..

Your point is well taken, but the routes in question span a very large portion of this crag. It's not a matter of one or two routes. The line between safe and overbolted was crossed. Nobody is advocating creating dangerous sport routes. Nearly all the routes on the lower slab would be very safe and considered well bolted with 1/3 of the current number of bolts. Nobody is singing the praises of dangerous routes.

Yep, and that's Sisu. to bob!

Fuck that, I'm the master, or at least the underdog, now.

Or found on a church message board: TONIGHT'S SERMON: WHAT IS HELL? COME TO OUR CHOIR RECITAL AT 7. No shit, this was actually posted.

Sisu, shut your ass. Christ, what a bigoted redneck. STFU.

I'd draw a line. I like sport climbing, but we should lay down some lines. No retrobolting old lines, without the consent of the FA party. No bolts in the mountains. No overbolting (ie Flag). Leave the trad bastions alone, but don't chop all sport crags. This ain't too hard, is it? Oh, and if a rap anchor at trad area preserves trees, etc, leave it be.

I'm just curious, I'm not intending to chop any routes. But how do you chop a glue-in? Chisel the head off, then drill out the stud? Retrosaurus? Texplorer? Dwayner?

I'm an asshole! I am!

Whatever you say, cupcake.

I figured that I would piss someone off. But that's how I feel about the topic, due to what I've experienced.

Yet more aggro idiot spew - you really need to go get laid and quit bringing your poisoned reactionary shit to this board, Sphincter. Actually, this isn't aggro idiot spew. Too many people use threats of suicide to manipulate friends and family. Don't try to argue this point, it's true.

BUT if you wanna do technical stuff on the 5 day tour you'll need a big rope, and a big rack, and rock shoes, etc, which will take up space and weight. I've got a 4000ci and a 2500. I use whatever is appropriate.
