ken4ord Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah I agree with you, but this is not about what he did with the rock or the damage he did. It is more about what happens as a result. Now, no installation of permanent anchors is allowed in the park. The more this happens in this park and others the easier it is for more restrictions to be created that will restrict climbing even farther. Yes not as important as the destruction of the planet, but climbing is something that I value and would love to continue doing outside instead of in some gym.

canadug Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 He is a Sack! I met him a couple of times in the Valley and he should never be mentioned in the same breath as Beckey, Robbins, Croft or a boatload of other non-poser climbers. I am glad Chouinard dropped him like a lead weight. I always wondered why Patagucci wanted anything to do with that SACK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He truly climbs for himself. At least that was my impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Why would I ask Yosar? Even I they do great things like rescue's and saving people. I have found that a lot of kids on Yosar are cocky in there own right.

MATT_B Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I met Dean a couple of times before he made a name for him self. I didn't really get to know him but I got the impression he was a nice guy, quiet and humble. That was a while ago and people do change. That being said I would guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. Â Â Why would I ask Yosar? Even I they do great things like rescue's and saving people. I have found that a lot of kids on Yosar are cocky in there own right. Â As for cocky kids on Yosar, there aren't any more ego's on Yosar than there are hanging out in the valley in general or out at smith or here on this board.

AlpineK Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) This is a climbing site. In other venues people would think you're an idjit if you didn't know who this fellow was  Space dude  Of course I don't think Beth and Tommy live up to Buzz's level, but I do know the names.  If for no other reason know the names of the people you hate.

They went climbing. Buzz went on one of the scariest, riskiest adventures in human history.  I met him once. Dang intense, and the only one of the original Apollo 11 dudes making a real effort to promote space exploration.  Ain't no one in climbing who even compares. But I do know who AlpineK is.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
