richard_noggin Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 My partner won't adhere to my staunch sport climbing ethics. Were hanging at the local crag , start with a warm up on a 5.8 he does his usual elvis leg( the dude so old he farts dust) than we go to 10-b to get the flash pump over with( it really pisses me off that a weak old dude can style a climb better than me) than we send a couple more classic 10's and move to the prod of the day . Gramps takes the first lead on the 11-B , at the 4th bolt the oldsteer takes a fall than yells dirt me dude, he than unties and pulls the rope and reties in and climbs on it again and sends . The problem i have with this is he left the first 4 draws on , so I tell the old phuk that it was a pink point. He sayes that's just as good . Old or not I just can't let him get away with not adhereing to my staunch sport climbing ethics. Are you sprayers going to back me up or what????

sexual_chocolate Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Are you serious, or is this a pathetic attempt at humor? (haha.) Pink-point/red-point, it's all the same. On some routes, bolt-placement is done with pre-hung draw in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Having just returned from Smith Rocks, home of stick clips and other weird shit, I can't really see how the words 'sport climbing' and 'ethics' can go next to each other in a sentence.

texplorer Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I climbed Sniffle Tower and almost took a 100fter when a hold broke on the last 4th class pitch. Overall a pretty shitty climb, save the 5th pitch. Outstanding view from the top however. I guess we got the pinkpoint though cause on the last tiny aid bolt someone had left some spectra cord and a biner and I used both. I am such a wanker.

Off_White Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Nice of you to drop by, we've missed you too Richard. I thought this all got hashed out months ago when it became apparent that sportos consider leading a route with pre-placed draws a red point. Whatever. Do you want your monniker changed to "Retro Trad Post-Modern Sport Climber" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the keyboards in Mexico with the upside down question marks and exclaimation marks. It's in the 90s and sunny in Oaxaca. Why did I ever come back?!

Do you want your monniker changed to "Retro Trad Post-Modern Sport Climber" ? Hey Off wit( getting a little full of yourself arn't you) this site is getting really boring just trying to stir up conversation Some Sportos may consider pre placed draws a red point but the ones like me who plug as much gear as draws don't, just like we don't consider a trad lead that all the gear is not placed on lead a redpoint or first ascent Missed you too Off Wit If I have made your blood hot at least I have rizen someone from the dead on this site . Even Trask acts like he is on double secret probation. I am a working stiff again, you know blue collar , real work, up at 5 , blood and sweat for you money spray at you tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_noggin Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Something poped into my head while slaveing away in the coal mine today. If preplaceing gear is acceptiable than i could get First ascents on sick hard cracks. Now pink is pink and red is red but maybe I would be willing to bend the rules a bit. In the past i have been a 5.10 crack climber but with these new rules I could be a sick hard 5.11 crack climber . So all you rock cop ethics judges better speak up or I will dawn a pair of spandex, rap, clean, preplace gear, sportcrack sent it and call them First ascents.

Ummm..."Sick hard 5.11 crack climber" doesn't go together unless you happen to be ill w/ the flu, reading a penthouse and then start climbing... I'm not sure what the definition of "sick, hard" crack climbing is, but i don't think 5.11 is in it...maybe its relative though...
