Â that's some pretty impressive googleimagesearching there scott, or did you have that puppy bookmarked? Â actually starfish don't have teeth. they eat by using suction to pry open clams and muscles and then egesting their stomachs inside out in between the two shells. Â i used egesting in a sentence. thread drift from f-14 story. Quote

Â "bouldering OPPORTUNITIES of WORLD-CLASS note." Â I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Â Here come the turtles! Â Â Â Â Go ahead and cry while all those "poor, misguided non-climbers" crank down and have a blast, while you whine about how this isn't 'real' climbing. Bouldering is great training, and just because it has evolved beyond training into a separate activity doesn't mean it isn't fun, or rewarding. Quote

Â Â Â D-Wayner, methinks you spend too much time beliittling sport climbing. You would never be around a sport climber, much less a boulderer, so why do you care what they're doing out in the middle of the desert near a few 20 foot rocks? You're beginning to sound like a broken record. Â Oh, BTW, you keep slamming sport climbing. What do you think of new-school mixed? It's worse than sport climbing, as it takes the bastion of trad ice (more 'manly' than trad rock), and converts it to a 'no risk' 'pansy' sport. Plus it scratches up the rock in addition to drilling holes and placing bolts. It's all pointless anyways. Â Say, weren't you the one drooling over all the beachside limestone pics? How're you going to protect those? Sling a gecko maybe? Â Quote

Dwayner Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 "sphinx" say: Â "D-Wayner, methinks you spend too much time beliittling sport climbing." Â Haven't done that in while. Is this an invitation? And what's with "methinks"? Is that a real word or are you part of that group that dresses up in Middle Age garb and re-enacts the old days? How about a few posts using that kind of chatter throughout? It would be a real novelty and liven up your sarcasm. Â "You would never be around a sport climber, much less a boulderer, so why do you care what they're doing out in the middle of the desert near a few 20 foot rocks? You're beginning to sound like a broken record." Â I've been around plenty of them. Don't confuse having an opinion necessarily with "caring". I do, however, have an issue with indiscriminate bolting and as sport-climbing is by nature bolt-dependent, it is often worthy of scorn. I think bouldering is goofy....you obviously care. As long as you pick up your garbage and don't kill alot of vegetation with your portable mattress, go get 'em, cowboy! Broken record? I guess it must be unfashionable to have a consistent opinion. Â "Oh, BTW, you keep slamming sport climbing. What do you think of new-school mixed? It's worse than sport climbing, as it takes the bastion of trad ice (more 'manly' than trad rock), and converts it to a 'no risk' 'pansy' sport. Plus it scratches up the rock in addition to drilling holes and placing bolts. It's all pointless anyways." Â New School Mixed...isn't that the name of the latest hip boy-band that's got them teenagers all hot and bothered? Your request for my opinion regarding the above comes off as less than sincere, but your description seems about right. Â "Say, weren't you the one drooling over all the beachside limestone pics? How're you going to protect those? Sling a gecko maybe?" Â Get your facts straight....they're volcanic. Dude....get yourself a beer, sort your quickdraws and send that bouldering pad-liner to the laundry. And by the way, you have all the style and syntax of the one who posts under the name "sexy cocoa". I suspect that you are likely one and the same. If you're bored, do your trolling with someone else....I ain't in the mood no mo. Â WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Quote

offwidthclimber Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 5 minute drive from home. 5 minute walk up the trail. Â fun as hell, requires no partner or planning, and keeps me strong. Â Â Â Â besides, a crash pad makes a great futon for kickin' back, swilling beer, and watching the sun set after a hard day of pulling down. Â i like my pad. i like my rack. i like my draws. Â and now i'm out for the weekend... Â peace, Quote
Szyjakowski Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 ERIK- DOnt forget your crash pad for all the BP's were gonna crank after sending snowtickcrag! Quote
