Dwayner Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 What would you do if your child came home one day and said, "Mom...Dad...I'm a sport-climber."? a) ask yourself, "where did we go wrong?" b) seek counseling individually or as a family. c) love 'em anyway. d) send 'em to Big Lou e) all of the above Quote
Peter_Puget Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Dwayner you are out of touch with modern sport climbing. I'd hope the younger one would also show an interest and then try to turn them into the equivlalent of Serena and Venus Willaims. Then I'd sit back and watch the money pour in. They'd be team Ingersol-Rand!!! Quote
Bug Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I would ask them which Catholic priest got ahold of them. Quote
allthumbs Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I would send them to a Catholic priest for a sound buggering. Quote
sk Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 children come threw us, not from us. We love them for who they are... not who we would want them to be. Quote
IceIceBaby Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 He is only a kid he does not know better…Just say NO to drugs…you will burn in hell Quote
Dwayner Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 You are all wrong. The correct answer is: d) SEND THEM TO BIG LOU. 'ain't nothin' a little Mt. Rainier can't fix! Quote
bellemontagne Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Maybe the kid could go to a special deprogramming camp where they teach sportwankers to be Yosemite hard(wo)men and teach them to run it out on RP's. Not that there is anything wrong with sport climbing... Quote
allison Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Tell them, "it's okay, Mummy and Daddy aren't snotty elitists"? Quote
mtngrrrl Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 I'd say, "Finally, we have a rope gun in the family!" and send them up all the stuff I'm too weak/chicken to lead, even on bolts. Then we'd hit the Calanques where I'd show them how sport climbing is really done. Hell, I defy ANY of you anti-sport climbers to spend a couple of weeks in the glorious South of France and continue to hate the activity. sk, you're right on. Quote
bellemontagne Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Most of us crackheads clip bolts now and then. I am a self admitted sport wanker, or more politically correct, sport climber. Clipping bolts is super fun, but when I lead bolts I keep it in the back of my mind that traditional climbing is certainly a more noble and purer form of ascending a rock face. It's all about having fun, but clipping bolts is now where near as noble as leading from the ground up (IMHO). Sport Climbing IS NEITHER! Flame ON. Quote
mtngrrrl Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 bellemontagne, surely you are not REALLY French. Maybe you should change avatars. Especially when throwing around words like wanker. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 I am ashamed to relate this true story: This morning over breakfast on of my kids said - and I am not joking - "let's go hiking on Mt. Rainier" Impressed that he knew Mt Rainier was hiking I am nonetheless fearful where such behavior will lead. Tonight it's off the the climbing gym with him! Quote
Norm Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 10 days in the Pickets ought to straighten them out Quote

Mtngrrrl, bellemontagne is an Italian phrase - it's definitely not French... . Have fun sport climbing everyone!!! Quote
Dru Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I would be embarrased to admit that my belly was a montagne. Fortunately it is more of a plain or prairie or steppe. Quote
sk Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 easy for you to say PUNK! ever had an alien in your belly for 9 months and then birth 9 pounds of satin spawn that don't sleep for the first year... NOT A GOOD OPTION! once they are old enough to walk they are much better. NO STARTING OVER Quote
freeclimb9 Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 quote: Originally posted by sk: satin spawn ???WTF??? You're oversharing. Details of your lovenest are too much, IMHO. Quote
Dru Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 satin does not spawn per se it spores. Distributing satin spore for the purposes of halucination is a Federal offense punishable by 6 months of no spray or a good meal of horse cock whichever comes first. Quote
