Weekend_Climberz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I bought a pair of Verve pants when I first started climbing 15 years ago. I think I used them twice and now they sit in my drawer of unused climbing crap. Maybe I'll have to bring them to Smiffy Tuff Love this year....Hmmmmmmm..... Quote
AlpineK Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Yeah tell us about your famous buddies Quote
kevbone Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 He is to Boulder as Todd Skinner is to Index. Â Â So....I live in portland.....why would I know anything about boulder climbing? Quote

mountainmatt Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 He also has an attitude that is for sure. Watched him climb some 12 at a rock gym in Denver. He started skipping clips and fell near the finish and nearly decked. Quote

Keep up the good work hahahaha)  Just so I get this straight……I have never heard of a climber that lives 1500 miles away, and I am a tool? Is that right? Don’t answer that…..I know your type and what you will say…… Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 No, Kevbone. I think the point is that if you are sooo into climbing one would think that one would bone (kevbone that is) up on the history of said sport. I just find it funny when someone who is older than me doesn't know about a particular historical character prevalent in climbing history. Now, there are extremes to both ends, for instance, CBS has far too much knowledge of climbing history. It's quite erie actually Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 CBS, the new DRU... Â Oh, that's a good burn....I'll have to tell him tonight Quote
Figger_Eight Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 All's I gots to say is CG consistently has the hottest girls in his booth at the SLC show every year. And he's actually kind've a nice guy. Quote
pink Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 kevbone, christian griffith is not worth knowing. it's funny how everybody calls you a tool because you don't know who some tool is. half the people on this site are wanna bees anyway. fuck them all my friend. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 It's a good skill to be able to spot people you dislike from a safe distance. Quote
billcoe Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 It's a good skill to be able to spot people you dislike from a safe distance. Â Pink probably bumps into CG as they live fairly close to each other. Â I've never met him, but to me, CG was what was wrong with climbing in the 80's. Some people trying to rap bolt a hard line, much to the anger of the old guard, and then milking the controversy which follows for PR and to make themselves famous and rich. Â I suspect CG is probably a pretty good guy once you get past his reputation. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Oh, I've talked to him in person. Yeah he is a polite guy, but I lack respect for some of his climbing tactics. He still climbs harder than I do though. I did try and get him a load of chips for the base of his new climbs till dumping in his driveway proved impossible. It's not my fault he had so many low power lines above his driveway. Edited March 23, 2007 by AlpineK Quote
