Ursa_Eagle Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Pending final agreements, the website cascadeclimbers.com and the magazine Indoor Climber will support each other. "We highly recommend you go out and buy a copy of the latest issue of Indoor Climber", said a self-described spokesperson for cascadeclimbers.com, known only as Trask. "Check out the pic of the guy on this awesome dyno, he came all the way from the red hold!" Most people are raving about the partnership, which has been rumored about since the moderators of the site all got prereleases of the first Indoor Climber. "All of a sudden, everyone just started talking about this new magazine, saying how cool it is" said someone who wanted to be known only as "Iain". "The problem on page 22 just really showed how gnarly indoor climbing can be" said "Dru", who later said he 'wasn't *the* Dru'. "It's this heinous problem in the cave at the new Portland Rock Gym. It's not even rated yet because no one has ever actually completed all the moves. Tori Allen even showed up, but couldn’t get the send.” "A publication like this has been necessary for a long time," said "Erik". Other posts by the moderators on cascadeclimbers.com hint at a review in the next issue of the forthcoming "The New Smith Rock Guide", including excerpts and pictures of pages. Not everyone on the website is looking forward to the partnership however. "This is the reason why there are so many bolts out there. People seem to think that put up bolts anywhere. And they’re gay." This was a post by "Dwayner" in the thread about the partnership. He later stopped posting for reasons which remain unknown. Also in the thread, “Pope” wrote "Dwayner was right on the money, bolts are bad." He then went on to post pictures of Molly Ringwald. Despite these few negative posts, most people whole-heartedly support the partnership. “I used to only do alpine mixed climbing,” said poster “Glassgowkiss”, “but this publication has shown me the light of indoor climbing. Even though I’ve had years of experience in the mountains, nothing could have prepared me for the exposure of ‘Hung like a Donkey’. I mean, it’s overhung so much, the anchors are really far out from the wall. If you fell there, you could take a serious pendulum!” A meeting to seal this deal is scheduled for Thursday around beer:30, with a break at 4:20. Quote
