Coldfinger

This is what Dane complains of.

No I'm just saying I don't want to hear about it, WTF does that have to do with climbing? Spray most definitely. There's a certain population here that thinks they own the place, do you think CJB just sprung out of the ground or is he perhaps connected in some obvious way to what goes on here?

In fairness to CJB, Dane wrote that it is also the general tenor of the place that has gone way downhill. Here's a good example in a response to the 'What Would You Do?' thread just posted here on the Climbers Board: "Jerk off" Belongs in spray, not here. And yes I have been an idiot myself. Perhaps a good way to move forward is to restrict certain forums to members only. This kind of post does represent all climbers even if most of us are tired of this crap.

Neither, you get credit for one more post!

Extra extra credit for hitching a ride down in a Ski Patrol toboggan!

Dude's racking up the posts, then Dane and John Frieh can hook him up with all sorts of free schwag, might even get a speaking circuit. OR CJB learned to climb on MySpace......

Yes I did, that was one of the sources I used before I snapped up that tool for $99. Thanks! Gotta say the Quantum Light had me drooling.... ... And to all the rest of you: 1. Thanks for the good beta. OR 2. Thanks for being who you are.

Hello! LMMFAO!!! Guess we should have a CJB festival, here's my suggestion: Yes that is a leather strap.....

I'm sure I'll be swinging a pair of Monsters sometime soon, I've always favored beefier picks, thanks I'm out!

Thought I saw moguls! No turning back now, think I just sold my old tools.

I swear it seems like some folks think they're gonna get pro deals just for racking up thousands of EXTREME () posts. Too bad he doesn't believe in Santa anymore, NITE!

FYI all: I think he got mad b/c I posted some crack about him getting canned from a Jack in The Box (guess it was the clown owners and the crap in a sack incident if you remember that, seemed to fit from what little i know of the dude) in a 'quit your job thread' (see below in Climber's Board), then came over and crashed another thread I had posted. Dane got mad, and here we are.

Didn't know about that festival, but I've had more than a little drama to deal with lately..... Thanks Dane, it'll be nice to meet ya! Will be there if there's any way in hell to go. Pretty stoked to relearn ice, especially as I have gone in other directions the last few years. Am picking up the heels as soon as they have a part number. The funny thing about why I purchased one Matrix Light is that I got stuck with the previously mentioned broken Matrix Tech and really liked it. Never thought a tool that light would be so good. Will use that but not sure how much on steep ice (as you said about half assed leashless tools)......

Dane and Trogdor, am interested in the Monster as it seems to be the only really cheap tool with a really good pick and a dedicated leashless double grip. Just wondered how that weird shaft would swing, NOT using it for alpine--too heavy. I can bash but prefer to flick, like to hook too.

can you just name your White Whale now so we can decide wether he truly is a doche-bag or not? the high-school solution, afterall, isn't to ask the teacher (moderator) to save you, but to team up and taunt the shit out of the enemy until she develops an eating-disorder Three names come to my mind (aside from Ivan & I ). Do tell, please... Not it! Linky: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/988138/1

Well it's been well demonstrated tonight, kinda wondered why somebody is the favored kick-tard over in Spray, now I know. Sorry for prolonging (provoking?) this, just wanted to see how far it'd go (and yes I'm sober) and thanks for the tool beta gents (Trogdor). Dane finally got me to drop the leashes, let's just hope I don't drop the tool! Just don't have the $$$ for the Maserati tools.

I hear ya, just gave one perspective employe the Coldfinger salute last week (right MF torn tendon=gets cold), it felt pretty sweet!

Thanks! Just figured I might get two sets of tools instead of trying to make one do everything like I've always done. Picked up the original Monster and couldn't even figure out how to swing it. How big is the grip? That one pic did look like moguls to me but I didn't see a lift, lotsa folks in another pic, maybe it was a Mounties trip?

Have you been drinking or are you always like this?

Just because you are an outrageous character and make a muck out of it to boot does not a troll of me make. Kudos for all the funny shit you have provoked here!

I'm guessing you since have found it, with a Q-tip perhaps?

Well, just managed to pick up a new Matrix Light for $99, so it looks like I'll get another if I like the thing, return it if I don't and try the Monster next...... Suppose it was bound to happen, CJB meets the CF....

I'm sure they have internet in Thailand and VERY hard climbing, so we're still.....

I'm glad you quit your job, damn, it seems to have given you a bad rash! Anywho, hope we aren't getting too far off track, did like the pics tho. Just mulling my options for going leashless without spending all the money I'm going to need to get to places like Cody or even Colorado. Love the Monster pick, NOT buying either the Quantum Tech or Matrix Tech after watching the yellow pommel bust on a partner doin' it alpine style. Not buying a set of Quarks due to $$ (I'd want an adze but no way I'm paying $45!). Seemed like it might be more of a hooking tool on ice (like those old elephant picks on the Lowe tools) and an absolute beast for mixed.

You own crap-in-a-sack, er I mean Jack in the box?
