RuMR Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 A N A R C H Y kix is leading a revolution, that little whippersnapper!
minx Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 great matt, just copulating great.... now after reading this thread do i never want to climb yjt, now i feel old. *stupid interest in climbing is dating me* no wonder the youngsters don't want to do it. it makes you old!
Gary_Yngve Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 You may be right, Matt. In that case, the Mounties need to figure out how to streamline their program so that it is financially solvent with a smaller membersip.
DirtyHarry Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Maybe the Mounties should revise FOTH to include a chapter on how to jib, promote wearing baggy pants, and put out a rap album that talks about proper belay technique (taking your brake hand off the rope is whack, yo!) in order to become hip with the kids today.
olyclimber Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 that would be so wack! they could reach out to ethnic groups too! for instance, publishing FOTH in ebonics. I n rock climbing, whether ya use da SRENE/ERNEST system, or another method ya may gots learned, da fact iz ya should always use multiple anchors. It do not matter if ya iz trad climbing, top roping or sports climbing. Two anchors iz da minimum fo' rock climbing. Three anchors won't hurt ya either. Creating rock climbing anchors iz, in fact, creating uh dynamic engineering systems ta handle uh suspected or expected maximum impact force. As wiff all dynamic systems, da need ta build uh system dat multiplies da load handling capability iz required. You would not build uh step ladder dat would only hold yo' weight, ya would build one dat can hold uh great deal mo' than yo' weight. The same iz true o' climbing anchors. Given uh choice ya should build yours wiff uh 2:1 or bettah safety factor. If ya can generate almost 3,000 pounds o' energy ya bettah gots uh system designed ta take uh least 6,000 pounds. in the hood

DirtyHarry Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I got bitches at the belay getting it on and they ain't leavin till they're double backed and tied in. Give me ten pitches, then I'll climb all ten my homey Olyclimber drinkin' emergen-c and gin
underworld Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 i got a rack full o stoppers and my homeboys do too
KaskadskyjKozak Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Cruisin' to the crags in my Subaru Jackin' the gapers, slappin' the fo's Went to a pitch to show my moves Knuckle-heads out there cold zip'n the routes A car pulls up, who can it be? A fresh climbin' party, sportin' killer gear They rolls down a window and started to say It's all about red-pointin' that 5.11a Cuz the boyz in de crag are alwayz hard You come talkin' that trash we'll bull your car Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit' Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't sayin' shit ...
knotzen Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Oh, come on! Don't let this quality thread die! It's the best civil discussion we've had in months.
willstrickland Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 To summarize: 5.4 pro = technique Mounties = suck Gary, CBS, KK = gaper apologists RuMR = midget CBS = pwned by Minx carry on
AlpineK Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Shit man, I spent 10 hours wacking on a monster hedge and look what you office bitches have been doing. Gary, listen up schoolboy Attending a lecture doesn't mean you actually know jack shit. You could attend a lecture and pass a quiz and still not be able to know what the fuck you're up to in the real world. The only way to really learn is to do. (that's why all those miners who speak shitty english are way smarter than you) Anyway that's all I've got for now.
Figger_Eight Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 ... get the fuck out of my way before i get all 5.7 on your ass. That's the funniest shit I've read on this board in awhile
chirp Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Alot of the new and young climbers are joining "climbing teams" at their local gym. They can get the MTV fix they need from a gym and where that leads them who can say. But those that wish to move on will at least have their pebble wrestling skills down pat. Hopefully they can get inspired by another aspect of the sport...or mebbe not.
ken4ord Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 no, cuz that would involve LEARNING HOW TO CLIMB and not doing your catechisms! Silly boy... Actually there is a part of the Climbing Course called the Mentor Program, "Can anyone help me, I'm looking for a Mentor!!" Here you go, there is 3 of them in the band, I am sure any of them will do just fine for you.

G-spotter Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Gary, I don't know for sure if this is true or not but it strikes me that there is increasingly less interest in mountain climbing among younger folks these days, even more than the reduced climber numbers we are seeing at Mount Rainier or the North Cascades. I also think that younger folks are less and less inclined to join an organization. Is it any wonder, when the old folks in the organizations do everything possible to make the organizations boring and irrelevant?

Damn straight - you can get boring, irrelevant with a smattering of climbing here for free! You could always take the American Alpine Club approach - buy an AAJ and ANAM and get a club membership
G-spotter Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 You can also just write something for the AAJ and get a free AAJ, ANAM, club membership, and all sorts of junk mail in your mailbox! LATEST NEWS FROM MINNESOTA SECTION! Our intrepid Midwest section climbed in the gym with oxygen masks on as part of their training for Rainier, America's most difficult mountain!
Gary_Yngve Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Gary, listen up schoolboy As long as there are schoolgirls, I'll happily be a schoolboy.
olyclimber Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Gary, listen up schoolboy As long as there are schoolgirls, I'll happily be a schoolboy. Sorry Gary, but could you say that again, but with less agression in your voice? JEESH!!!!

Alright, sneaking this MN shit-talk into the picture is TOTALLY uncalled for and innappropriate. And dont think this is the only time I have seen it happen recently! Shame on all of you...you....you pompous creeps!
