kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 So here are my thoughts. I do not boldly state that I am smart. I do not have a degree in writing, hell I misspell words a lot. I screw up in my thoughts all the time, but……I am a climber. Instead of college and a “higher purpose”, I went climbing. I felt the outdoor experience, I lived in my van for over 1 year and traveled up and down the west coast and have met some of the kindest people around. Up until my child was born 4 months ago, I climbed up to 2 days a week for over 10 years. I am not the best climber or the boldest……but I climb. Is there some hierarchy of online drivel that I have not been made aware of? Some of the chumps on this site slam me, make fun of me, call me out for my spelling and writing, but I NEVER here you comment on climbing. This is a climbing site, right? Dechristo, you are smart and I enjoy your posting, but do you even climb? Seahawk, same question? Steven Segal…..same question? KK…..same? At least G-spotter (how ever annoying) climbs. He does have knowledge of climbing. I have to show respect to him. Even if he is the most obsessed poster around. Point is…..in my mind this is a climbing site, it would be nice if the obsessed (you know who you are) actually climbed and could contribute to climbing discussions instead of just spewing there intelligence of non related climbing drivel. Spray is spray, and we all love to go there. Suggestion, go climbing! Ok….enough babbling...... Quote
kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Yes I am a newbie compared to you. Quote
AlpineK Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Going climbing is good, but that doesn't mean it isn't good to come back from a climbing and talk shit. Most of us can't climb every day, so we need something to fill our time till the next time we can get out and do some cool climbing. Quote
E-rock Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Are you making membership rules Kevbone? Cuz if we all got to do that you wouldn't have lasted this long. Besides your only climbing-related contributions to this site, that I've seen, are slamming people for TR-ing because you think this endeavor is purely motivated by "ego", advocating your psuedo-purist rules to climb by, and posting pictures of your fat rump hanging onto some crimps.

kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Are you making membership rules Kevbone? Do you climb? I did just log onto CascadeCLIMBING right? Quote
EWolfe Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Good to see ya back, E-Rock. N00bvek is just trolling. Quote
kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 advocating your psuedo-purist rules Read between the lines E_rock. I am at the other end of the “purist” category. I am not make rules up. I just find it entertaining that the same people who slam me for not being “smart” don’t even climb or talk about climbing. Which is why we all signed up for this site in the first place, right? I would like to think beyond all the spray that we ALL have climbing in common, right. Quote
E-rock Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Read between the lines E_rock. I am at the other end of the “purist” category. Hence, "psuedo", since "anti" does not quite apply, purism pre-supposes a certain ethos, which, in your case, boils down to: "whatever the first-ascensionist does, I must do." Again, hence "psuedo". I am not make rules up. I just find it entertaining that the same people who slam me for not being “smart” don’t even climb or talk about climbing. Which is why we all signed up for this site in the first place, right? I would like to think beyond all the spray that we ALL have climbing in common, right. Wow, your brand of existentialism is, like, far-out. It's hard to imagine a world where people I have never met might not have the same interests as me. Edited February 14, 2007 by E-rock Quote
StevenSeagal Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Seahawks knows all about climbing- he read about Mt. Hood on Fox News. Quote

RuMR Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 the laugher is that i try to not discuss my climbing trips on this site. Sure I talk/muse about wishful stuff in the future to do, but not actual climbing. The only time i talk about past climbing (in general) is over pm's... This site has too far of a spread of "climbers"...wannabe's, hasbeens, neverwere's, etc. etc. to have any kind of a real meaningful discussion about one's own climbing... Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) All of you climb like lost little children, shivering in a St. Petersburg January with big, sad eyes and nothing but a moth eaten shawl to fend off a cruel wind. You are worse than nothing, because you are something that should not be here. I could crush all of you with a single withering glance. When I piss, with one boot on Adams and the other on Hood, the Columbia River flows the color of lemon rind. When I fart, Mt. St. Helens observes a moment of silence. I forged Chelan with my ice axe, The Potholes with my crampons, and the Palouse when I made love to Hell's Canyon and ruffled the sheets. On my head, a lenticular. My jacket is a thunderstorm. I cut two holes in the Chocolate Glacier for underwear. So, mites, quibble away about your mite conquests. I'm off to forge another Himalayas so that I may have a comfortable seat on which to drink a margarita made with the Greenland Icecap. Edited February 14, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote
kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 You do talk climbing Ru…..you have mentioned many times about climbs you have done and are aware of. Cudos to you! Quote
olyclimber Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 HELLO! Looking for 8000m peak bagging buddies. Quote
ivan Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I'm off to forge another Himalayas so that I may have a comfortable seat on which to drink a margarita made with the Greenland Icecap. jesus - where would you begin to get the amount of tequila required to prevent that frosty beverage from being hopelessly watery?

I'm working on desertifying the entire Northern Hemisphere to supply enough blue agave. Stay tuned. Quote
kevbone Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 blue agave. mmmm.....blue agave Quote
Alpinfox Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 .... This is a climbing site, right? ... but do you even climb? .... Kevbone = Chaps? OMG! Quote
G-spotter Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 This is a site for people who are trying to find the Nodder. Where is the Nodder? Quote
G-spotter Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 PS I don't know what's worse, wankers like Kevdrone who pretend the site should only be about climbing, or chuffers like Rudy who think they are too good to talk about climbing. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Kevboner what's to see even more TRs for the Tooth... as if the website isn't inundated enough with superfluous drivel... Quote
Dechristo Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Mark Wilford, mistakenly, asked me if I was an ice-climbing instructor. Do I get to stay? Do I get chestbeat points? Do I need third-party witnesses and timers? Quote
G-spotter Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Kevboner what's to see even more TRs for the Tooth... as if the website isn't inundated enough with superfluous drivel... Fuck you. I'd rather see a well written TR for the Tooth than some chestbeater dick measuring about how many Neutrinos he found on Girth Pillar, any day. Quote
