goatboy Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 When did you become such a badass? Dude I'm no badass. I'm a solid 5.9 climber! Being a solid 5.9 free-soloist in the alpine (while enchaining big, committing peaks) is NOT the same as being a solid 5.9 climber. Admit it: You are a bad-ass, whether you like it or not! Quote
Ed_Hobbick Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I'm proud to say that I climbed with you when you were just getting started! I was attempting Serpentine Arete on Sept 20 with Bucharoo. Man you don't mess around. Quote
dberdinka Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 When did you become such a badass? Dude I'm no badass. I'm a solid 5.9 climber! I agree with Pete. I don't know you but I read your TRs and you've apparently come a long way from this.... Aiding CBR Soloing OS is one thing, soloing it after a full-on beat-down day like that....ANOTHER! My hats off to you but fess up, where's the motivation coming from!? Quote
Ed_Hobbick Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 You ever consider Boxing as a means of cross training. Quote

My hats off to you but fess up, where's the motivation coming from!? Thanks! I'm not quite sure what motivates me. Never really looked into it. It's enough for me to just get out and do it on routes well within my ability and are fun. Quote

I'm a hack. I shake and rattle my way up most 5.10's. Quote
Tony_Bentley Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Funny, I did the approach and hike down toketie this summer. I thought the exact same thing. The trail is much worse than a few years ago. Nice job badass. Quote
grtmtnchic Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I know what motivates you Nice to see you're still at it, John. Quote
marc_leclerc Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 When did you become such a badass? Dude I'm no badass. I'm a solid 5.9 climber! Being a solid 5.9 free-soloist in the alpine (while enchaining big, committing peaks) is NOT the same as being a solid 5.9 climber. Im not saying telemarker is not badass... but when soloing I find that you climb so focused that 5.8-5.9 and 5.10 all feel about the same and you never fell like a total badass after a solo, you just feel like you had lots of fun! Now soloing 5.11 is hard and scary for me at least.... Quote

marc_leclerc Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Well then, you're a bad-ass too, Marc. I strongly disagree.... Quote
