Dwayner, I’m going to have to come down on Lambone’s side in this whole thing. I remember one Pub Club in Tacoma where MattP, you and myself had a long talk about bolting ethics. What I came away with from our talk was that you liked to listen to yourself talk so much that you couldn’t listen to a different point of view. Now I’m a trad climber, and if I think your views are unreasonable then just think what someone younger and more into clipping bolts would think. As to jumping the shark, I would agree with an earlier poster who said you jumped the shark with your little battle with PP. I think you need to either seek treatment for your, Grumpy Old Man Syndrome, or start posting on CascadePontificators.com That being said I should add that you have made me laugh a bunch of times [ 10-05-2002, 04:24 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Excellent troll It's been a while since someone posted this topic. I'm sure we are overdue for a,"lets clean up the site thread." I should point out on my very first post on this site I got messed with by none other than Alex. Because of this site: I climbed for a week in Yosemite Skied a week long traverse in the Coast Range Found climbing partners for a bunch of weekends when I might not have climbed. Met a bunch of cool people Become known for smoking pot at Muir Anyway I'm sure this place is a little low brow for a guy with a PHD (huh Dwayner); also things can get a little too nasty at times. All in all I like the site. If people don't want to interact on the site that's their choice. As for climbing community that Dwayner talks about, I don't understand. I see lots of people reading the site. What is it you want Dwayner 100% participation?

I'm sorry, but I think I need to jump in here. If I were looking for an expert rigger of wire rope I would talk to a crane operator or an iron worker. If I wanted to talk to an expert rigger of nylon rope I would talk to an arborist. I don't think I would go to the theater to look for rigging advice. Further when I hear someone talk about all the accidents they have been around a red flag goes up in my brain. Most accidents of this sort happen because the person doing the rigging was: A) working too fast B) incompetent Anyway CrazyJZ knows a thing or two about rigging. PS I'm sure, like any trade, there's stuff stage hands do that tree guys, iron workers, and crane operators couldn't do as well. [ 10-03-2002, 11:01 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

test... this motherfucker [ 10-02-2002, 09:03 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Static rope is much stiffer than dynamic rope and knots are so hard to tie. I find it very hard to believe that someone, even with a moderate amount of experience, would not know what kind of rope they were climbing on. [ 10-02-2002, 07:53 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Read the thread

Rope Up = climbers + beer + camping + fire + smoke + cute litle nazi village.

Sorry your so bitter. I'm sorry I missed FB hogging all of Dave and Sarah's dinner.

Despite my reluctance to admit anything in California is good; I have to admit that Yosemite is a pretty cool place. The CC.com folks I hung out with were pretty cool too. Highlights: Mass ascent of Cathedral peak, the regular route on Fairview dome, the Central Pillar of Frenzy, and last but not least the East Buttress of El Capitan which Jeff and I did despite the rain and hail. I just might have to go back.

Teddy's might be a little small, but I'll go with it.

Watch out Mtn Goat will start making long boring posts about how this study's science comes from people with a left wing agenda.

Rocktober 19/20

Dude that dyno was total burl.

I'm supprised Allison hasn't told off Tex for being Un PC

I don't have any cool graphics to post, but I just want to say that two thousand years with Scot'corplogo would really suck. Also hanging out in the valley with DaveW, Sayjay, Emch, Mikea, and Jeff does not suck one bit.

Thanks for the joke Trask! I'll see you guys later I'm off for a week in The Ditch. [ 09-20-2002, 05:48 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Ya know I'm having a hard time keeping up with thing on the board when I'm away from the computer most of the day. Sounds like someone (or many) are out to get you Allison. Sorry, but I've got some real chain saws to go sharpen.

fucker I'm only interested in pagetops [ 09-19-2002, 08:08 AM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]
