chucK Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 quote: Originally posted by erik: actually wed munk...i take it all back..... but if you are getting pissed whilst climbing, maybe you should take a step back and re-evaluate your stance...it is all for fun!!! your truly, arroik quote: Originally posted by erik: was wondering who the freakin moron is, who was pounding pins on 10% aka the start of jap gardens? you totally plugged up a good clean placement. if you want to learn to pound pins so somewhere else, the lower town wall is not the place. i am going to go up there and clean it tommorow. if your name is on the pins i am coming for you. 10% goes clean at c2+/c3, jap gardens is a classic easily freed line. you and your pitons and hammer make me sick..... assholes!

Greg_W Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 ChucK; I see the point you are trying to make, but it is totally different. RedMonk sounds like he's whining because he couldn't climb "his" climb. Erik is outraged due to an action by thoughtless individuals which will PERMANENTLY impact the rock; moral outrage, if you will. That is justified, in my opinion. Greg W Quote
erik Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 i get your point chuck.....though it doesnt seem to work like that..... too seperate issues here...one we have people climbing the rock in a non-destrructive way....certainlt excessive tr'ing may be bad....but never as bad as pounding a pin in a free climb..... i have said my piece about the pin and i will resolve that issues tommorow. where as the tr'ing thing will be a battle if you allow it...i choose to not care about that...

sk Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I read somewhere that lead climbs have rights and if some one is top roping or planning to top rope a climb, and someone willing to lead comes along said top roper is SUPOSED to excuse themselves and let the lead climb go. You can toprope for un limited # of hours, someone who leads usualy leads and moves on.... I think the kid has a point. But that could be old school who knows has any one else heard or read this????/ I have had climbers do this at local crag. I show up to do MY ONE lead and some kids moved over so I could get on my perferd climb... Quote
DavidW Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 well SK....... I'd certainly agree that what you have described is polite. I've never had anyone voluntarily move over for my lead efforts tho.... seems that many times ive gotten to a particular site and found multiple topropes hanging around and people not even using them. but hey.... its a small world and I'm the only one in it! BTW....... thinking of something 5.9 thats harder than Godzilla. How 'bout Damnation Crack? Quote
Dwayner Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I've never heard of that "leader's rights" thing, but in my opinion, IT'S A LOAD OF CRAP!!!! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!!! If someone just really had to lead that particular climb, that day!! right now!! perhaps an appropriate procedure would be to ask politely how long the top-ropers intend to be there and if they say "all day", you're out of luck...move on to the next climb. Or ask if you can climb through....if they say "I'd rather you not", move on to your next objective. While teaching classes and guiding, I've run into this situation many times, especially with the Mountaineers who will commandeer prime practice areas for an entire day and festoon their top ropes everywhere. The solution is to get up earlier than the others or find another climb. No one, top-roper or otherwise, should feel obliged to move for anyone else, not even the Mountaineers! - Dwayner P.S. Is that the first time you've heard the word "festoon" used this week? It surprised even me. Quote
Dru Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Damnation Crack is solid 5.8. Y'all should try Orifice Fish or North North Arete for some classic 5.9s. Quote
sk Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 it is in the etiquette section of the smith guide book. and I quote "Most distressing are the marathon top rope sessions. It's frustrating when you can't lead your project because 20 people are waiting in line to toprope it. Those wanting to redpoint a route typicaly have priority over toproping climbers" And just to set the record straight, I didn't ask the kids to move. I asked how long they thought they were going to be, they asked why, I told them that I was hoping to lead that climb and was tooo chicken shit to lead anything else... they volenteard to move. Nice kids can't we all just get along Quote

Dwayner's right (shudder as I write that), marathon top-rope sessions suck, get up earlier if you don't like it or go somewhere else. Greg W Quote
daisy Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 "Hey you, stop top roping that. The BOOK says I have right of way cause Im gonna lead." Quote
sk Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 gee, I wonder if DFA will chime in on this???? So what I am hearing you guys say is that, that may be true in sport climbing (not real climbing), but does not apply to trad(real climbing)???? I knew there was a reason I love cracks and stoppers and cams, of course a realy solid rope gun doesn't hurt either... 'Cause I like to toprope Quote
