the sheild can be done clean. that pussy charlie fowler did the first clean assent.
most freeclimber's will never free the nose and it hasn't been hammered on for year's. i would bet that you will never free the nose either.
i guess that i have never really climbed a big wall. i suspect ice climbing isn't climbing either, people should learn how to climb ice with their hand's.
i would bet that dru has never done hard aid way off the deck. i would bet that dru deep down inside is a bigger pussy than he leads on to be.
it's funny how you praise royal robbin's and cut him down in almost the same breath.
my hero's were a bunch of cheaters.
i'm a cheater.
thank's for ruining my day dru.
astroman would be a perfect example. what a rad name for an old aid line. it is called thr east face and astroman in the freeclimbing guide. the east face route is barely mentioned in the big wal guide. i can think of a few free climb's that could stand to be renamed.
the nose and the salathe wall on the other hand have not been renamed. i don't think any elcap route has had it's name changed except for maybe the freeblast.
what other routes can anybody think of that has had their names changed going aid to free.
that's probably the first time you have ever been told this. your husband probably tells you this but he just trying to keep the peace, so it doesn't count.
