gymrat Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Since moving to sunny Washington from the climbing mecca of California, I have noticed that the majority of local climbers here in washington really suck, especially at rock climbing. Why is this? Is there something in the water? Something I should know about. Will I become light? I hope not. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Love, Anonymous Quote
genepires Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 go back to high school on monday, rat. Your posts smacks of "school pride". Yes, you will become light so please go back before you become a slug like the rest of us. While you are in cali, get your GED. Quote

Dechristo Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Boy, I bet new climbing friends are just beating down your door. I bet he's "beating down" his own sensory portal incessantly. Quote
bigwalling Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Funny I've never climbed more than 5.12 but aid I've climbed hard. This summer in the valley it seems that I was climbing as hard of aid as anyone around. My buddy who was climbing a bunch learned to climb at Index also but now lives down there. Now please tell us that you climb .13, v10, modern A4. Otherwise you are light too! Oh and Mike climbs pretty fuckin hard! Quote
EWolfe Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I'd put Sexy Cocoa on the sharp end with this guy anyday. Quote
bigwalling Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 this is like when that guy on RC.com said if City Park was in Indian Creek it would get climbed daily! Quote
bigwalling Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Since moving to rainy Washington from the climbing mecca of California, I have noticed that the majority of local climbers here in washington really rule, especially at rock climbing. Why is this? Is there something in the water? Something I should know about. Will I become this good? I hope not. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Chaps Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 It might be true gymrat. All Washington climbers are good at is posting fluff on bulletin boards. But nobody climbs as hard as us out in Minnesota. We get it done with what we have, and don't pull any punchs. Quote
Dechristo Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Chaps, you are the sultan of fluff. Quote
bigwalling Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Hey, I only got out of High school last year! Don't diss the youngins! That said I didn't go to school that much. go back to high school on monday, rat. Your posts smacks of "school pride". Yes, you will become light so please go back before you become a slug like the rest of us. While you are in cali, get your GED. Quote
Blake Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I'd put Sexy Cocoa on the sharp end with this guy anyday. Au Contraire MisterE, he actually prefers it dry and unfettered... or so I hear from E-Rock. Quote
magellan Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Best first post ever? Not even close! Quote
pope Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 this is like when that guy on RC.com said if City Park was in Indian Creek it would get climbed daily! It probably gets climbed every day right where it sits....at 5.9 A1, and as far as I'm concerned, the visitors from "serious" climbing areas didn't really improve on the the style all that much. Todd Skinner didn't complete it and didn't pull his rope between falls. Hugh Herr might as well have climbed it with a counter weight. As Nelson points out in his guide, it's a nice top-rope problem for "5.13 climbers". Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 WA climbers ARE extra light. If you've got a WA climber belaying you, make sure to lash him down to your pack, ghetto blaster, yellow lab...whatever's handy. Quote
Off_White Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I thought you should just strap one to your helmet to prevent being benighted. Maybe California climbers are just extra dark, or would that be dense? Quote
specialed Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 We Washington climbers maybe can't climb too strong, but we sure look better than the California and Colorado climbers in our shorts-over-poly pro ensemble. The tape with our name on it on the helmet is a lovely touch too, espescially when seen toproping short easy 5.6. Quote
matt_warfield Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I would suggest taking your personal survey at World Wall I at Little Si, Midnight Rock, and Index rather than at Exit 38, Roto Wall, and Mountaineer's Dome like it appears you have been. Quote
soulreaper Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 You might catch someone on the classic "Chronic" (5.13b or, more popularly, 5.9 A0) Quote
olyclimber Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Nothing extra-light about these guys. Ya, but I think they are from OR, not WA...so not off the hook yet. Quote
