AlpineK Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 You're a loser therefore you own a stick clip. Quote

rbw1966 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 While toe-sucking a midget at the Dwarf-tossing event, Greg_W almost choked on his . . uh. . .'stick-clip' but instead ended up filling his galoshes with the cornish game hen he ate for dinner that night. Quote
iain Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I will admit to borrowing stick clips at smith. There's boldness, and then there's stupidity. Quote

RuMR Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 wtf do you need a stick for on that??? Its like 5.4 to the first bolt... Quote
iain Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 "Experienced" climber somehow manages to require evac off clip-up at Smith. You know how dumb you'd look? If you're going to be dumb and get hurt, do it on some trad route, something respectable. Quote
ashw_justin Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) wtf do you need a stick for on that??? Its like 5.4 to the first bolt... Â hahaha yeah but it is still scary... as the belayer, I mean. (I put in a cam ) Â (edit: I have never even seen a stick-clip) Edited August 30, 2004 by ashw_justin Quote
tomtom Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I carry a stick clip for aid climbing. Â Feel free to plaster a big L on my helmet. Quote
rbw1966 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Does this mean that if I dont use a stick clip I am not a loser? Is a stick clip the sole criterion for determining that status? Catbirdseat, do you have an algorithm by which one can ascertain at what point one crosses the threshold into loser-dom? Quote

Ireneo_Funes Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 What if I don't have a stick-clip but sometimes wish that I did? Does that make me a loser, or can I still hang with the cool kids? Quote
fenderfour Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Is a shoulder stand an acceptable alternative to a stick clip? Quote
AlpineK Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Is a shoulder stand an acceptable alternative to a stick clip? Â only if you do it from a pyramid of midgets. Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Shoulder-stands are so cirque-du-soleil. Quote
marylou Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 You'd need a lot of Cornish Game hens to make a big enough pyramid to get you as high as you could get with a long stick clip. Quote
Dru Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Shoulder stands count as free climbing in the bastion of trad-daddiness the Elbesandstein. Hence the "Man Powered Rappel" on El cap. Quote

billcoe Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 What if I don't have a stick-clip but sometimes wish that I did? Does that make me a loser, or can I still hang with the cool kids? Â Â Ahhhh: stick envy: Hmmmmm................ Â Naaa, only if you don't stick it and grease off. Then you're a loser without a stick or a small stick. Â You need a friend with a stick. Talk to Iain, sounds like he'll hook you up. Â Â I'm stickless myself, gotta have friends Dan. Quote
