Dennis_Harmon Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Vantage sucks and the people who climb there because they lack the fortitude to go to the mountains and actually climb also suck. Don't you people from the Seattle megalopolis area have anything to climb over there? Have you people heard of the sport of scuba-diving? It's really "rad" because you get to buy a lot of expensive high-tech yuppie equipment and come home with "rad" stories of your exploits, but it's much more difficult to irreparably destroy the oceans.

slothrop Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Dennis, why must you belittle people who don't do as you want? Just because I climbed at Squamish once doesn't make me some super-cool badass climber like Peter Croft. The same principle works in the other direction: climbing at Vantage doesn't mean I suck. I can't believe you're older than 15, man Quote
Dennis_Harmon Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 O.K., maybe you don't suck, sloptroth, but every one else that climbs there does. Sport climbers lack balls (and ethics.) Dennis Quote
allthumbs Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Dennis, dude, pop a lude and chill out. Fuck! Everybodys' got their own agenda. "News flash!!!" It just might not jive with yours. Ya think? trask Quote
lizard_brain Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Vantage makes a good dumping ground for all of the human trash that we don't want cluttering up the backcountry. Don't knock it. Quote
Dennis_Harmon Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Trask, I appreciate the feed-back but, good God, lad, do you kiss your mother, wife, or kids with that mouth as well? I'm not a fundamentalist or anything, but you need to clean up your act, my man. Lizard Brain, Good point and well said. Never thought of it in those terms... and I kinda like it. Thanks.

Skisports Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Chill out Dennis, our we sure that you didn't steal the bolts. what is the problem with sport climbing you sport climb to get better at alpine climbing and when the weather is shitty Quote
Big_Wall_Betty Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Vantage Choss has some good opportunities to stay in shape for big cliffs of Mother Stone. When there you can pretend like you are doing real climbing and get/stay in shape for that. But, the truth has been spoken. Vantage sucks and so does everyone who climbs there outside the training window. Climbing in Vantage in June is only for the lamest sport climbers. But, natural selection works, which is why Vantage Choss comes crashing down regularly. No self-respecting legitimate climber would have been climbing at Vantage anytime recently. Unless they live in Vantage...that is the only excuse. And who lives in Vantage? Quote

Szyjakowski Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 KISS-keep it simple stupid....don't bolt within arms reach of cracks and there will never be issues or crowded cliffs...if only everything in life was so simple. Quote
