pink Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 maybe you haven't met john - like more than a few folks 'roudn here, he comes off on the board a lot different than in person - what you shouldn't misunderstand is his enthusiasm and good-naturedness- the kid really, really likes to climb and is guilty of little more than being too zealous - he also takes the training thing crazy serious (but not so much he disdains climbing w/ the smoking/ho-ho eating crowd) which i think leads to a natural desire to have #s and times n' shit, which in lihgt of the whole iconoclastic nature of the enterprise, does look a tad silly. still - i like having john on the board and he earns his keep by actually posting tr's on a pretty regular business, building community by helping organize ice-comps, etc. that said, if he badmouths beacon we might have to kill and eat him - i'm sure w/ all those burpees or whatevadafuck they're called, he'll make for good lean burgers make sure ya let jonh know that i climbed el cap, why don't you tell him eight times just in case he forgets. i heard he likes to take you dry tooling, being that you couldn't possibly go do that without his guidance.

Choada_Boy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Sweet dick wagging contest! Can I play? I do agree that laying down after you get worked training is lame. Stand up, black out, fall down. Take it like a man. Edited April 29, 2008 by Choada_Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choada_Boy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I was at the hostel when some other dudes got back from climbing Slipstream. Does this make me RAD??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not until you have everyone talking about you in your own thread. This is John's thread, respect that! But how many chicks were you at the hostel with? What sort of gear where you using? Why? Is RAD an acronym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frieh Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 now seriously, did i hear somethign about pink climbing in california someplace? Pink may have climbed el cap eight times or whatever and yes that is super rad but what has he done lately? When was the last time he climbed el cap? Was it in this decade? Pink reminds me of the classic "Uncle Rico Napoleon Dynamite" type... sure he may have taken his HS team to State and loves to tell you about it but you ask him what is going on in his life now and you get a blank stare... maybe pink is retired from climbing?

John...please shut the fuck up...people age, they quit climbing, they move on, maybe they come back, maybe they don't...maybe they don't train compulsively anymore...maybe they really do go and climb moderates only moderates now and don't feel the need to *chestbeat* girth pillar style...
