pope Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 The New Rock Climbing Forum is decidedly a sport climbing forum, free of spray, sanitized of all insults that sport climbers and advocates for restrained bolting seem to hurl at each other. Petey P has worked hard to make sure those who post there are in agreement on the bolting issue. Why not change the name to the Sport Climbing Forum or just Petey's Corner, then invite Dwayner back (maybe Pope too) under the condition that they stay out of the Sport Climbing Forum? Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Or why not post some things about, y'know, trad climbing in there? Or just not quibble about insignificant semantic minutiae? Quote

Now, what is it that you would like to know 'bout trad climbin'? Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 How come trad climbs always got long approaches? Sport routes be up-front-parking-escalator-approach easy to get to, trad routes always Bataan Death March slogathon. What gives? Quote
pope Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Well now, that's easy. The few remaining trad climbs tend to be up at elevation where lazy power drillers don't like to go. Quote
