I think you nailed it. They are a bunch of control freaks.

Why do people here whine and cry about posters that bother or bore them? If it involves civil discourse, and no threats of violence, what is wrong with using the ignore feature. Are you all a bunch of bored baby cube-rats? Frigging grow up.

I'm glad Dwayner is back. He should never have been banned, it was the most petty and specious banning here. Let him talk long and hard about sport climbing, if it bores you, use the ignore feature moron.

If a poster can be banned for being "boring, repeticious, and pedantic", then why is Mattp still around?

I don't think that the hardness of the metal is all that important. We used to use lifting cams to lift heavy pieces of sheet steel, and neither would show signs of marring. Ray Jardine has stated that the tread on Friends was mostly forr looks, and had little to do with their use or strength.

So your saying that it isn't one of the old nail ups in the caves? That is not what the article says, and that is not what the photo shows. I think that it is "Rainmaker".

I think I know the climb, and it is pretty much A3. Very few Americans do that real hard stuff on tied off babes.

What other topics are there? Lots and lots. I recently got some old fart on "Breaktime", the forum for Finehomebuilding Magazine so mad at me he wanted to fight over wether ER7018 was a DC or an AC/DC welding rod. He was wrong, and I was right. (For the record, by AWS Standards, ER7018 is a AC/DC welding rod; although some brands run poorly with a buzz box)

Old style, or old old style? The type they stopped making last year, or the type they stopped making in the '90's? Us old farts like precision.

How about yesterday? 41 to 3! Last two games combined 83 to 3. And they had snowmobile jumping at the NW gate.

Ron's dad?

You did it before the re-bolting? It was hard then, right at the start! I thought a person could get real fucked up it the first pin or two popped (so I never did it!).

I wonder what these stat's really say? Saudi Arabia is really high on both, and almost their entire GDP is petroleum exporting. Do they actually have high CO*2 emmisions due to burning of off gas, or are these statistics flawed?

How, in your mind, does the bolting of Dana's Arch compare with the bolting of the Zipper Roof? Good question, good point. Dana's arch was going to get destroyed ala Serenity Crack. Prior to the bolting, Zipper had had, in my estimation, few ascents. Although the guide book refered to it as A1, the start was very hard, with a real bad fall potential. There was one original bolt after a couple of moves. After that, most of the pins are fixed. I would say that the aditional bolt elliminated an A3 ledge-fall move, and then replaced original bolts. Zipper is now easier, where Dana'a Arch was always A1. The bolting on Dana's was to prevent "unwarrented" damage, where the bolting on the Zipper was for a ill-concieved free attempt. Neither upset me, I thought that the Zipper bolting was stupid, and the Dana bolting actually had a purpose. I have seen bolting that did anger and upset me.

When Dana's Arch was originally bolted, I did agree with the premise. The pitch was free climbable, and was getting beat to shit.

Bullshit, the developers don't own the rock. You have the same mentality as Bush Co. The US does not own the atmosphere You really aren't that full of yourself are you? How do you think Ed would feel about chipping and glueing?

Any word on Roger Jung? John Rosholt is still missing for almost a year now. I find it disturbing how the media will so ignore missing people like Roger Jung and The Gambler, while giving an inordinate amount of press to a cute 18 year old who gets drunk and goes missing in the Carribean.

Yep, right there. I think the address is 1911 First. Good place, support them with your buisness.

I would guess that just about any ascent of Waterway is still "early". Maybe Don's ascent should be refered to as "early-early", or early post-Pleistocene.

Thats right Knotzen, get your man-bashing licks in. Tom Leykis is gone, but not forgotten. He will return live to Seattle radio, with lots of salad.

The first pitch is in my opinion by far the hardest, also the dirtiest and least fun. We did the second and third as one, and I thought the little finger cruxes were good, hard, and fun.
