    All day high performance trad shoe

    bump.

     

    any long termers have feedback on the tardmasters?

     

    i picked up some scarpa thunders at rei used them for a day at redrocks and have gym climbed in them a few times. seem like good crack climbers but maybe i'm just not used to that sort of shoe for face climbing, as their stiffness feels like i'm climbing in blocks of wood.

     

    well, since they are an rei purchase i feel like i'm still just 'trying them out'

     

    how 'bout the 5.10 gammits?

     

    anyone?

    keep it simple!

     

    too many of the big brands (gregory, TNF, deadbird, osprey) are making complex+bulky+heavy packs

     

    seems like the little guys are the ones making the good simple utilitarian climbing packs.

     

    what is it: perfection in design isn't when there is nothing left to add...it is when there is nothing left to take away.

     

    or something like that.

     

    good luck.

    when is it okay to take a photo and post it? when someone doesn't see you? is it okay to put it on your personal web site?

     

    use judgement and be tastefull...the picture and it's posting were tastefull IMO...the 1st reply to it WAS NOT tastefll

     

    do we kick the shit out of turnons for taking photos of us doing something they will never do? what do you think?

     

    remember, ask nicely first if the picture taking is bothersom. i've taken pictures of other climbers and asked if they minded and i've also had my picture taken by other and told them i didn't mind. no big deal. as i'm sure neither resulted in a "i'll fertilize the eggs" response.

    speaking ones mind is not a "confrontation" it is how you let people know what you got going on in there

     

     

    isn't that exactly what the dude did? geez! and wasn't he blasted for being confrontational instead of 'simply asking'

     

    full circle, you guys just need mutual stroking, eh.

     

    i imagine if the girlfriend would have signed up for an account just to ask for picture removal, she'd have been blasted for one reason or another.

     

    he didn't just ask though he was an ass about it. if he had just asked Trashy prolly would of just taken it down and put up something different from the weekend. you know i doubt she would have been blasted becuase i doubt it would have been made public. if she would have posted and said "Hey my name is sally and that photo you posted is of me. I really am not comfortable with my pic being on cc.com, would you please take it down?" all would have been well.

     

    ok, so he DID have a backbone...

     

    again.. full circle
