I saw an old guy with old gear OMG!

[marc_leclerc]

So I was going to go bouldering at the bluffs and I saw this old guy rapping off of a single bolt... his harness looked a bit old too and he was using a munter hitch... I told him that I thought his style was bad and he told me he had been climbing longer than I have been alive and I was like 'well, I boulder like V crazy so I am entilted to an opinion and know stuff about climbing' and we were so mad I was ready to punch him and he yelled at me.

 

ISN'T THAT FUCKING NUTS GUYS!

Don's old ridgid stem cams with home made slings just make you feel like a badass

[G-spotter]

I don't think there are any single bolt rappels in the bluffs.

Sometimes I approach a climb in flip flops.

Sometimes I approach a climb in flip flops.

 

I often simul the approach to climbs. Slinging trees and shit... I beleive in safety.

[olyclimber]

i did that groveling perverse traverse at index in my chacos this summer and tore the crap out of my legs and feet.

 

[tvashtarkatena]

I usually approach climbs by wafting in on a shimmering cloud, arms outstretched, eyes skyward, in a slow pirouette.

I meant ONLY flip flops.

[archenemy]

Ever seen a bunch of climbers running topspeed away from a great climb?

 

Proof.

[tvashtarkatena]

flip flopper.

[marc_leclerc]

One time I bouldered without a crash pad.. does that mean I soloed the problem?

[archenemy]

It means you are the problem.

[marc_leclerc]

Yeah... I always get bitched at for soloing.... because I am automatically going to have a crowd of fucking n00bs and small children playing 'follow the leader' behind me and dying on by one. Weird eh?

[archenemy]

Too many of them around anyhow.

 

Climbing is the new birth control.

[tvashtarkatena]

I flash solo 3rd in boots sans helmet like, all the time.

 

Any f'in...Mountie...tries to tell me whatz up, I cut him in half with a samurai sword.
