archenemy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Any suggestions for areas/routes? I usually climb at Smith and have followed what I was told was a 5.8-5.9. What about priorities when purchasing pro?  start here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonMLawson Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Mostly... it's the size of the cahones it takes to do it. Hard sport climbing is hard. Hard trad climbing is hard and and f-ing scary  i agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyBaker Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Man its like the difference between penthouse and swank. You know what youre gonna get from a sport route, but you might run into some nasty shit on a trad route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drater Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 And then boldering would be free mpegs of hardcore porn. Like the BangBus. Swear to god man, I think that shit would work in Spokane. Roll around East Sprague with a wad of ones and a couple fifties on the outside, see who's game. Â Maybe Norman Johnson's sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanigovce Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Sportclimbing is Neither for one. Yes, not a sport and not climbing. Trad is about adventure, risk and independance. Sport is about climb by numbers, stay on route, minimize risk and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleydude Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 What are the rules/ethics/ediquette for fixing bolts on routes without any? Not that I would do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Apparently, these days, there aren't any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
