EWolfe Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 And of course, the haunted, driven look from obsessing on a proj is key to the betamaster. Quote
JayB Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 There is a flip side to this coin. People who have a steady job and a reasonable income who invest a considerable amount of time and energy in cultivating the dirtbag look so they'll look hardcore. They are climbing's answer to Trustafarians, and they are every bit as poserish and lame as the wankers who sport pricy-high end gear in an effort to secure the credibilty and respect that their abilities cannot. Same game - different angle. Quote
EWolfe Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 You can tell by the ride: Â Trustafarian: SUV Â Dirtbag: Beat-up Civic with passengers seat torn out, gurgler in windshield fluid resevoir Quote
lummox Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 all i know bout etiquette is a man does it standing and a woman does it sitting and a dog does it on three legs: shake hands. Â and the one specialized climbing pair of pants i got that were suposed to be tough and all got holes in em the first time i climbed an offwidth wearing em. Quote
iain Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 yeah and those posers who have the coin to dink around on computers posting to bulletin boards and show up on the weekends. hate those guys! Quote
whirlwind Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 jeans shorts and old tee shirts wit the sleves cut off is the way to go, less its cold then u got to where a hat of some sort, prerably an old ball cap that looks like shit and smells worse Quote
lummox Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 this also helps thin the crowds that hardly measures to the timeworn technique of angrily swearing loud and largely incoherent to oneself and any bystanders and spitting a lot and kicking the dirt around and shit. course there is always kids and/or dogs to keep peeple away.

marylou Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 that hardly measures to the timeworn technique of angrily swearing loud and largely incoherent to oneself and any bystanders and spitting a lot and kicking the dirt around and shit.

scott_harpell Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 carharts and a nylon jacket has done me well since i was 5... no reason to change now cause some yuppie fad is in swing. Quote
cj001f Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 People who have a steady job and a reasonable income who invest a considerable amount of time and energy in cultivating the dirtbag look so they'll look hardcore. You mean saving up their money so they don't have to work that comfy job forever? Definitely lame Quote
EWolfe Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 carharts and a nylon jacket has done me well since i was 5... no reason to change now cause some yuppie fad is in swing. Â I had a friend at Smith who used to pull on his carhartt bibs for belay. It looked funny with his belay device hangin out of his flap. Quote
snoboy Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 carharts and a nylon jacket has done me well since i was 5... no reason to change now cause some yuppie fad is in swing. Â and carharts aren't a fad? Quote
iain Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 since you were 5? so, like 1995 or so? I'd say you're following a fad bwahaha Quote
scott_harpell Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 carharts a fad? they are utilitarian. I have been wearing them for at least 10 years. I am sorry I made fun of schoeller. I know it is very shishy and all, but it just plain sucks. Quote

You lied about the passenger seat though. It's got one. You need a coat hanger to close the rear door. Quote

scott_harpell Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 whatever. sorry i am shattering your dirtbag culture by showing you that some tightly knit cotton can out perform your wonder fabric that shreds after one use. get a clue gear whore. y'all think you are so hardcore and shit sporting the newest prana and schoeller but you are not different than those getting the newest H2. Get over yourselves. Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 If you are so friggin cool why are you spraying about wearing carharts? What difference does it make what the label says? Â You're as much a poser as anyone else. "I'm so cool I wear carharts". Quote
iain Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 didn't you see? he no longer posts to this board. Quote
cracked Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 didn't you see? he no longer posts to this board. He's only posting to climbing partners looking for people to go fishing with! Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I was in Canada for the last 4 days skiing in Nelson. I am trying to catchup on the drama now. Â On second thought, I'll just skip it. Quote
