layton Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Not looking for a partner to go to vantage this weekend, next weekend, any weekend, or weekday ever. Don't PM me if you aren't not interested. Quote
jordop Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Well, you're not going to climb anything with that attitude young man Quote
Alpinfox Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) Yeah, Vantage sucks. I'll take Rocky Butt and all it's used condoms, beer cans, broken glass, Bible thumpers, bolt choppers, and teenage manlovers over that scenic desert shit any day. p.s. I didn't not send you a pm. p.p.s. I just noticed the hairy armpits in that pic. Nice! Edited February 20, 2004 by Alpinfox Quote
minx Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Layton i didn't PM and i'm not interested. but going to vantage doesn't sound too bad Quote
Distel32 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Choss pile vantage, will this hold break off right now? the answer is yes Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Give me a break, Luke. In the mountains holds break off all the time and no one gives it a second thought. It's all part of the game. Quote
Paul_detrick Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Please stay away you can get hurt there, theres too many people there, its not warm yet, it sucks. Theres still ice to climb, you might run into a guy all covered with tatoos. And anything else that will keep you away. Quote
lummox Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 crappy rock scares you yet the pad is thick and big. did you break a nail? Quote
Sabertooth Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Please stay away you can get hurt there, theres too many people there, its not warm yet, it sucks. Theres still ice to climb, you might run into a guy all covered with tatoos. And anything else that will keep you away. Classic. Yes, it is suppose to snow this weekend at Vantage. Honest. Also, Sunshine Wall fell down. Also the FCCC is currently replacing all the bolts, so sport climbing is out. Middle East Wall has huge icycles all over it. I recommend climbing Granite in the rain and snow as an alternate. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Guess where I first met Distel32? Vantage, last spring. At that stage in his career (9 months experience), I'd say he wasn't yet a confirmed boulderer. Now he is a worldly veteran avec neck beard. Quote
lummox Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 pad people must have duct tape on the down jacket, beanie on the head Quote
layton Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 Vantage sux my ass Bill Robins was an asshole but now he is dead Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Mike, show more respect For the poor dead Bill Robbins. Despite what you think. Quote
layton Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 I am sorry he's dead I will miss his route cleaning he was a fixture Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Choss pile vantage, will this hold break off right now? the answer is yes Do not climb face routes. Cracks and stemming are nice there. Duck duck duck duck goose. Quote

layton Posted February 21, 2004 Author Posted February 21, 2004 Choss pile vantage, will this hold break off right now? the answer is yes Distel32 Hasn't a clue how to make a proper Haiku -that one even rhymes, do I get extra points? Quote
Alpinfox Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Climbing at Vantage Leaves much to be desired? -Sun, rock, smile you climber Quote
Alpinfox Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Choss on the menu? Vantage will stupend you Punk rock haiku; so fuck you. Quote
Distel32 Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 CBS is right, just as I was starting to climb I made 3 trips over, the place worries me know though. Holds break at smith all the time, but at least no 80ft tall 5ft diameter pieces of the christian brothers or morning glory sway when you push them. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Are you referring to the recent demise of the column on which the route Tammy Faye's Dildo was located? When climbing Shady Chimney recently I was cognizant of the fact that I was stemming against a detached pillar and that 70 ft off the ground the leverage is pretty significant. Say its 75 lbs of outward force. That would be 5250 ft lbs of torque. Mind you, the column weighs about 500 tons. All the same, I was glad that all my pieces were in the crack in the back. That would be a trip to have a column fall while you were climbing behind it. It would probably take out your belayer, or cut the rope, even if it didn't take you with it. Quote
Thadsboner Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 That would be 5250 ft lbs of torque. Torque is a circular motion, so did you give the tower an indian arm burn or something? Quote
