Dwayner Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 P.P. "Ouch those personal insults." Dude...I detect a pattern in your discourse. You start pissing people off when you make it personal. I don't comment on your personal climbing resumé, occupation, or whatever when I'm discussing issues. When you start doing that, however, you cross a line, and change the nature of the discourse. "Actually you and Pope have both indicated (several times) that you have never climbed a hard route by modern standards. I could go bother looking up the threads but since you know it to be true you also know I do know more than squat." If you think many 5.11's trad and a few thrashes at 5.12 trad are not hard by modern standards, then I guess we're a bunch of weak-kneed washed-up pussies. (BTW, I ain't climbing that hard now but pope probably be up for it.) If modern standards include sporty clip and hang techniques, count me out. I have more respect for a guy who can climb 5.7 smoothly from the ground up, place his own gear, and go on his way then some dude spending 3 weeks of his life trying to rehearse and wire a short bolted sport climb. I stand by my word...you don't know squat. So when you get personal, you will more than likely be speaking from ignorance and asking for a harsh rebuttal. "Dwayner! Please refrain from insulting me! I am a fragile poster." Another Pugetian theme: if your skin is thin, you must by your verbage assume others are much thicker. "Oh and did you mean perhaps logion?" No, I meant "logician". You are a pseudo-logician. I know you want to be my buddy so cool your jets and think before you type! - "Dwayner" P.S. Visne scire quod credam? Credo Elvem ipsum etiam vivere et luctationes omnes praestitutas esse! Quote

Dwayner you have made numerous insulting comments to many as you discuss things here on CC.com. I plead guilty to, in this thread, referencing your resume, however occupation I have not and “whatever” casts such a wide net that I pleading guilty just to be safe. I would say; however, that by bringing up repeatedly your climbing past ( eg I am from the 70s) you have yourself brought your resume into the fray. Now just what line do you claim I crossed? Read on! PP original quote: "Actually you and Pope have both indicated (several times) that you have never climbed a hard route by modern standards. I could go bother looking up the threads but since you know it to be true you also know I do know more than squat." Dwayner reply:”If you think many 5.11's trad and a few thrashes at 5.12 trad are not hard by modern standards, then I guess we're a bunch of weak-kneed washed-up pussies.

So when you get personal, you will more than likely be speaking from ignorance and asking for a harsh rebuttal.” PP’s rejoinder: Getting personal? Speaking from ignorance? I hate to say it but 5.11 just ain’t very hard. By the way back in ’79 or ’80 Eric Wenstien told me that “anyone can climb 5.11.” I am not sure I agree but his point was well taken. Some time ago JayB suggested that perhaps you didn’t climb hard and that may be influencing your viewpoint. Pope responded saying he was right you didn’t climb hard. Now I do not think that Pope, JayB or myself was getting personal with insults when any of us claimed you did not climb hard routes by modern standards. I don’t climb hard by modern standards. Even by late 70’s standards 5.11 wasn’t hard. So I say “wrongo boyo” to the getting personal and the ignorance claims. To be clear in my original quote “you” meant you Dwayner not you Pope and Dwayner. I’ll admit it was a bit ambiguous and you ran with it using the plural “you” in your response. Touche. I never said anything about being a washed up pussy. You did and I wonder why you think that way and why you think someone stating you are not climbing hard by modern standards is an insult. Also I do claim several unprovoked insults from you to me. (eg P.P. you're back to your old, tired self) But read on below! PP quote:"Dwayner! Please refrain from insulting me! I am a fragile poster." Dwayner quote:”Another Pugetian theme: if your skin is thin, you must by your verbage assume others are much thicker.” PP rejoinder:Silly I was poking fun. I was once called a Fragile Poster by your friend Pope. And as I demonstrated above I was not being personally insulting but with this line with humor indicating how your discourse could be interpreted as such. PP quote:"Oh and did you mean perhaps logion?" Dwyaner response: “No, I meant "logician". You are a pseudo-logician.” PP rejoinder: I know silly. I was making a silly joke. Anyone reading send a PM if you liked it! Dwayner quote: I know you want to be my buddy so cool your jets and think before you type! PP rejoinder: I know you want to be my buddy so cool your jets and think before you type! Hugs PP NB – And honestly I do think my little theory about hangdoging is not too far off the mark.

Alex Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 quote: Originally posted by sk: 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 SUPPOSED to excuse themselves and let the lead climb go. Reality is, this really doesnt work in most cases. While it might be polite to let someone lead through if you are "projecting" (shudder) a route, I and just about all of my friends will be the last people to look down from halfway up and say..."oh, sorry, you wanted this?", lower off, clean all the gear, make it all purty, just so some clod with a lead rack can flail on the route? Who is to say that Mr Leader will actually only take 5 min? Or only take an hour and a half? Especially with a route like Godzilla, where people routinely wet their pants, you might be suddenly placed in a situation where Mr Leader now has to lower off, clean, retreat, walk around the top, give up the sharp end to his ropegun buddy, etc, all wasting your time. Just 'cause you thought to be polite. If you would like to test my assertion that this is indeed reality, please go visit the Gunks on a summer weekend, and walk up to the nearest topropers and say, "sorry, chum, gonna lead through". They will give you a blank stare, draw their concealed weapon (they are all New Yorkers after all) and you will run! I am with Dywaner on this one, totally. However, that said, it is COMMON COURTESY to get off a route as soon as you are done with it, not hog it Mountaineers style for the whole afternoon. Thats straight bullshit. Alex Quote

Dwayner Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 "After putting several weekends and a lot of work into figuring out how to hang on through 80 feet of at-your-limit sickness, it IS frustrating to have to sit there while someone takes twenty minutes to figure out the first move. Is the frustration that big of a deal? No. Sport climbing is frustrating as *@, and that's part of the fun; beating your head against the wall to solve improbable sequences and link them all together." So, if sport-climbing is frustrating and frustration is all part of the fun, why complain about having to wait? By that view, the additional frustration entailed in the uncertainty of waiting can only add to the "good times"! Sorry, mate, but as a trad-man, it's really hard for me to relate to several weekends involving "80 feet of at-your-limit sickness". Nothing I read so far changes my opinion and I'm surprised that the "Doctor" didn't enjoy the humorous sporty-stereotype. Quote
TimL Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 Funny thing, I never hear of sport climbers complaining about gear climbers. It’s always gear climbers bitching and moaning about sport climbers. What gives? The only thing I hear from sport climbers as "trad" climbers pass by at the crags is chuckles:D or laughter at the self righteous idiot in a helmet with all new gear and chaotic mess of slings draped over themselves like a medieval barbarian proclaiming some mantra about bolts this or that. Climbing is supposed to be fun. If your so involved that your knocking people for being a sport or a trad climber and not focusing on you and your friends climbing maybe you should see a doctor. Or just do something else like play in traffic! Quote

Frustration from actually climbing, good. People who monopolize routes without giving other people a go, bad. And the Doctor might have enjoyed your "humorous" sporty stereotype had it seemed more like good satire than run-of-the-mill slagging and stereotyping. Quote

I now have the ability to solo long alpine routes (Torment-Forbidden Traverse) hard crack lines, and wiggle around in spandex sporto kswiss outfits. Back to the subject - Godzilla is a mediocre 5.9 therefore the masses thinks it's classic. Quote
RuMR Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 I'm w/ TimL here...its all good...why classify oneself as a trad or sport climber? Go climb bolted faces...go climb multi-pitch trad routes...go climb at Smith...go climb at index or yosemite or indian creek or rifle...if its raining and your wife is giving you grief about road-trippin' w/ buds go pull on plastic, who cares (but you) anyway? If you lump yourself in a category, you've just halved your fun and that's stupid...I enjoy an onsight at my limit, but i also enjoy beating a route into the ground and finally walking away having sent something that kicked my a$$ previously...and I believe that makes you a better climber, period...

Guest Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 SPORTOS: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WWF WRESTLING AND REAL WRESTLING BECAUSE THE MOVES ARE REHEARSED TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF REAL STRUGGLE OR INJURY. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORT CLIMBING AND REAL CLIMBING IS SIMILAR IF YOU PRACTICE EVERY MOVE FOR YEARS, WORK THE SEQUENCES ON THE GROUND FOR HOURS AND LEAVE YOUR PRO HANGING ON THE ROCK FOR CLIPPING EASE. MY GRANDMA AND DWAYNERS GRANDMA WORK 5.12 ALL DAY REDMONK: DO NOT ASSUME THE DIFFICULTIES BEFORE YOU HAVE CLIMBED. I AM MUCH HARDER THAN PRINCELY AMBITIONS (WHAT A GAY NAME). I AM HARD BUT I AM STILL ONLY 5.9. YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME ONCE, BUT I AM SURE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE CLIMBING FOR LONG YOU WILL EVENTUALLY END UP HANGING FROM MY STEEP SIDES. SPEAKING OF GAY NAMES: DR.
