chucK Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Now's your chance to bag on CBS or Sportos or both with your own humorous quip!!! A beer for the winner (and not some lousy Canadian thief beer ): CBS has the first entry: Catbirdseat wrote: I still think its funny when the sportos give you such funny looks when you rack up to do a crack. Like, "why in hell would you want to do THAT, when you could just clip a bolt?" Other possibilites: "Why is he wearing that big dorky helmet?" "Why is he calling us 'Sportos'?" "Whoa, his shoes are giving me an epileptic seizure!!" Quote
Thrill Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 why are they clipping that first bolt with a tent pole? why dont they just climb up? Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Whenever I'm feeling depressed, I go out to Vantage where I laugh at the sportos stick-clipping their way up 5.11 bolted routes while I prove my toughness by climbing 5.7 trad in boots." Quote
chucK Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 I don't think you guys get this contest. It's supposed to be what the "Sportos" are thinking and why they are giving CBS quizzical looks! Like, "What's that guy trying to prove? Climbing with a shirt on! Hah!" or "Why are those guys belaying with the carabiner through their belay loops?" Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "How come that guy didn't take his ATC off when he started to climb?" Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 How about, "If that idiot would just move THREE FEET to the right or the left to a bolt line, he wouldn't need all those heavy cams!" Quote
iain Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "I didn't realize Ned Flanders was based on a real person" Quote
Sabertooth Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Why the hell would you stick your hand into that thing when there is this nice series of removable jugs only a few feet away. Quote
iain Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Why is that guy rapping that chimney?" "And what's with the pack? We're at Vantage" Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "I didn't realize Ned Flanders was based on a real person" "Hideeho, neighbor! " Quote
glacier Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Must have been a sale on rugby shirts and painter pants at Goodwill." Quote
rbw1966 Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "I didn't realize Ned Flanders was based on a real person" Okely dokely! Quote
Dru Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 'I wonder if that white stuff on his hands is tape or guano?" Quote
slothrop Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Dude, why is that guy measuring the crack with calipers before he sticks a cam in?" Quote
burgersling Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "I thought they wore shorts over polypro." Quote
Thrill Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Now's your chance to bag on CBS or Sportos or both with your own humorous quip!!! one would assume since you said to bag on CBS OR sportos or both .... that either was fair game Quote
miller Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "that guy must be off route - there arent any tick marks up there..." Quote
Thinker Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Whoa, Dude! That guy is so old he must not know what bolts are for. Or maybe he just can't see them..... I've been climbing for a LONG time now, for like almost a YEAR, and I've never seen ANYBODY try to climb without QUICKDRAWS! That's just INSANE! Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "There's no chalk marks. How does he know where to put his hands?" Quote
glacier Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 I've heard it's not climbing if the backs of your hands touch the rock. Quote
scrambled_legs Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 I'm just thankful that I haven't been climbing long enough to have experienced spandex and climbing in the same scenario. Quote
ken4ord Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Holy shite dood, I think that's Fred Beckey over there!" Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 "Holy shite dood, I think that's Fred Beckey over there!" "How can you tell?" Answer, "See how he's pulling on gear?" Quote
