Ponderosa Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 How kind of you to provide Raindawg and Pope with new material for their ceremonial circle-jerk rituals. Quote
EWolfe Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 I'm an equal-opportunity kind of guy! Pope's not that far my senior, but I withered in the face of his awesome powers of curmudgeon years ago. Quote
JosephH Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Let me pick up the slack. Men don't 'routeset' except possibly while overcome by deep metrosexual crises when they can also be infected with boltsetting. These are consumptive vainglorious diseases typically affecting males in their late teens and often persisting until the victim reaches their early thirties when the rapid onset of infants, increased appetite, and the rapidly fading glory of youth sends them into remission. There is no vaccine or cure for route and boltsetting which have reached pandemic levels and retain a high recidivism rate for those surviving rehab and family obligations. Once infected the victim is a carrier for life and must be constantly pricked and vigil for signs of an outbreak. Symptoms include rabid betafoam, bankable acclaim, last harrahs, and cocked halos of communal beneficence. The only defense against this affliction is not sharing chalk, thoroughly disinfecting your hands after visiting a gym, and coughing into your sleeve while announcing route ratings. Quote

denalidave Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 [video:vimeo]5603958 So which one is Dawg and which one is Pope? Quote
kevbone Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Masterpiece!!!! No....this is a masterpiece.... Quote
kevbone Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 the chick or the climb? This climb is named "Masterpiece Theatre". Quote
JosephH Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Fortunately, that masterpiece didn't require any 'routesetting' as it was already there - all it needed was a few points of protection so you guys could climb it. Quote
G-spotter Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Aretes that are so close to corners you can stem over for a rest = not a masterpiece. Quote
kevbone Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Fortunately, that masterpiece didn't require any 'routesetting' as it was already there - all it needed was a few points of protection so you guys could climb it. Dont forget a bunch of cleaning and trundling. Quote

This is at a crag that no one from outside PDX would ever consider climbing at, right? The PDX version of Exit 38 in other words? Quote

G-spotter Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 You are not making a case as to why I would want to drive 6 hours to climb a less-than-classic-line at an overbolted locals-only crag? Quote

Why climb at any crag? You have a rotten attitude.... Tell you what……how about this. Come on down….if you send this route first try on lead or top rope. I will not post on cc.com for 6 months. How is that? Quote

eldiente Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 That route is indeed soft. Although there is one move in there that might stump you on the first try. Unless of course your belayer is spraying beta for it. Quote
