rbw1966 Posted August 30, 2004 Share 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.

iain Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I will admit to borrowing stick clips at smith. There's boldness, and then there's stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted August 30, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtom Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I carry a stick clip for aid climbing. Â Feel free to plaster a big L on my helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted August 30, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marylou Posted August 30, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 30, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
