snob, noob or tool, i still didnt get to meet 'nough you hoseheads when i was in pdx/sea. I'LL BE BACK!

what is the point of bolting alone, put a little plaque beside each bolt with altitude reading/gps coordinates ,so nobody gets lost. so any dick can 'enjoy' it after you.

DONT YA MEAN ASS-KICKIN? i need to lose more weight!

Not sure what you'll see when you step on the scale back home, but don't worry about it too much. You've lost so much weight and look great! I couldn't believe the difference from when you left PDX and when I saw you in SEA this past weekend. Not sure what you did that time in between-not eat and run miles after miles perhaps-but you NOW, THAT'S WHAT I CALL ENCOURAGEMENT!!!! THANKS ........PNW RULES!!!

todays weight: 182!! start : 208 jan 1st : 227 (-45lbs) its easy to be a hero , just become a fat slob first!! woohoo!! gotta lose another 10 this month!! now i can run and melt it!! so far , not much dieting except cutting out excesses,mostly climbing,biking,running. thank you cc.

wooooohoo i get to weigh in tomorrow when i get back home. i want to see low 180's........... daing man ,i dont think i could stay fat around here. so much to do . i've enjoyed.......

you're a cutie!!!

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE BOLT... of course bolting trad routes etc is just the worse.specially stuff under 5.12-13. kids with drills will mess this up real bad if climbers dont make a stand . we all want glory, but few put in what it takes.

SORRY MY BAD, TYPO: PLS READ LYNN WITH HOT NEW KIDS (XOUT OTHER) i'm in u district!! i started climbing 10-12years ago.i come from running background where posing and aid are not big sellers.(they dont have the downhill 4min mile yet) i love nature's dance and my humble place in it.messner's quote of "the rape of the impossible" loosely finds me.thats just me. however, what bolters do to the rock is irreversible.(+-) if i view this debate as a non-climber, i dont think we should bolt everywhere. as a climber i dont like to see them much. over and out on this one

wait 'till arch read that mysoginistic omission........

i was joking on the not knowing...... but if you read my post i said it 'felt to me' like rock-nature-rape. in a gym i dont feel that.a few years back, i saw a video of lynn and some other great new kids climbing a route somewhere far and obscure and they bolted some of it if i recall, i thought it was too bad.i was into their adventure until they pulled the hilti out...... personally, i never bolted and never will.if i climb a bolted route,i enjoy it, but i dont call it climbing rock and the grades are rather meaningless (sorry, noob), like if i have to jumar my way up the big 'e' i dont feel i'm messner's buddy.a spade is.. i really feel bolting should be restricted to specific urban areas , for practice. real rock lines should be preserved for many generations to test themselves at improvisation.

never heard of 'hem. what about lynn hill she's a bolter right? girls bolt too......

shoudda cooda wooda. my partner bailed! plastic would have been better then nada. thanks.

well, no takers.one that bailed...again. next time i visit this area i'm gonna do some major posing and brownosing before i come.maybe spend more time would help. thanks all.

yeaaaaaaaah!

Are you telling me you have never used a bolt? For anything? Thats what I thought! i clipped a few on belays.climbed a few bolted routes and it always feels like 'rock-rape" to me.....odd in nature. bolt the gym!!!climb indoors.leave the rock alone. its just become too easy for anyone to bolt whatever they feel like.it's just 'tagging'. like the kids graffiti.or tattooing your bod. then punks can say they put up a new route.GETTING YOUR KICKS.leaving your mark.otherwise who will learn of your greatness? IMOHO

one day you gonna have to own up and turn in the uncle that did this to you!!!!!!!

pretty lame anti-dem spin move

yup

i just sound like one when i spray. in real life i dont give a ff

Only those inferior to you, sir i just had more incarnations to work that shit out.i ate folks.....

cool lessons. experiences. thanks,

i know i aint his peer! i think if you ever soloed ,you know it.i think its the part where your fear matches your capacity.

yup!

like in his everyday life, the 'modern' climber try his hardest to remove himself from the experience.fear,adventure,chance,risk,awareness,consciousness are all hindrances to his 'success'.he got no time fo' that. from his ac'd house to his ac'd car, altimeters,ropes,grigris,asscenders,racks,fast/light crap,bolts,grades,etc he would shit to have to 'climb'5.6 alone.
