Dwayner Posted June 17, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted June 17, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayner Posted June 17, 2002 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellemontagne Posted June 17, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtngrrrl Posted June 18, 2002 Share 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.

bellemontagne Posted June 18, 2002 Share 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.

Peter_Puget Posted June 18, 2002 Share 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!

Dru Posted June 19, 2002 Share 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.
