stevetimetravlr Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Deal with it Ranger, deal with it!! I was there that day when the photo was taken I believe... Edited December 11, 2009 by stevetimetravlr Quote
Serenity Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Huh...speaking of which. I was just in Dahlonega. Still sucks. Porter was a Batt-Boy? Quote
olyclimber Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No, I was not a Batt-Boy, but that is some good training. Never know when you're going to have to fist jam in a combat situation. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 There was a morning at Classic Crack when a team of Army Rangers showed up trying to climb it and rap it. I think it might have been the day in the photo above 25-30 years ago there about. Anyway, one guy got stuck half way and was freaking, and the officer was yelling "Deal with it Ranger, deal with it!" So that became our mantra when someone would freak out partway up on some climb we would yell it at them. I saw someone named a climb in the Leavenworth guide "Deal with it Ranger". Maybe the Rangers went to Classic Crack allot, but I only saw them there myself the once. Quote

Total control using precise strength and balance- it was awesome to watch John fucking Bachar solo. Quote

Oh man, that was my worst ever Index route name. Indeed, it originated from those rangers at Classic Crack. Quote
