pink Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 bolts aren't okay at beacon but gluing the 5.6 gumby route back together is not just permissible but also necessary. even joseph's ethics are infinitely malleable when there's something he wants.  where can i get the BETA on that? beacon rock update thread isn't showing it...

pink Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'll admit, those anchor moves are damn tricky. Â your thread is full of BETA... i'm sure u have your own definition of BETA. can i have your definition of BETA? in two sentences or less please... thank you and merry holidays.

JosephH Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 ...even joseph's ethics are infinitely malleable when there's something he wants. Dude, you need to work on your reading comprehension. As I said repeatedly at the time, it had nothing whatsoever to do with what I personally wanted. If it were up to me I would have trundled it.

JosephH Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 your thread is full of BETA... The only beta in 'my thread' is about an anchor location which isn't obvious.

JosephH Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 If the header had the true topic like Norwegian Trundle and been on the climbers board forum It would have got more attention and climbers would have been more accepting, after all we all like a good trundle ,it's like kinda primal. If my intent were to have a 'true topic' that might be the case. As is, I could give a rip how 'accepting' anyone is about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 so there was a gun held 2 ur head gangsta? joseph!!!!! i demand u to jump off of a bridge right now ! Nope, just honoring Opdycke's request. I told him the status of the hold and asked him to sort out with folks what he and they wanted done - glued or trundled - the word I got back was fix if possible. It was. I did. I didn't make the call as I don't care - I can get up the pitch just fine either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 SO WHEN YOUR BUDDIES ASK U TO STAY FOR ANOTHER BEER AT THE BAR DO U TELL THEM I HAVE TO GO HOME TO MY WIFE OR DO U TELL THEM I WANT TO GO HOME TO MY WIFE??? so opdyke is the ass of the party? or do u just follow instructions like a good little socialist?

Â WHAT IS YOUR DEFINTION OF ROCKCLIMBING? I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH BETA? IT HAPPENS!!!! No, neither did I when I put it up. But then the culture at Beacon is fairly anchor and beta dependent, particulary with regards to anchors. Given there is some natural confusion of the pitching on Menopause due to the fact it's an extension of 'Rythmn Method', but doesn't use its anchor, I provided beta on the first anchor location. Â I don't typically want beta on any aspect of a climb I'm going to do other than where it is and perhaps what the descent looks like.

pink Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 so u like beta too... coool i do 2 if it equals me more pitches and a barstool at the bar. my point being a "pink" point is that we all like. u proly don't need beta on beacon or how to get down and hans florine needs 0 beta on el cap-yada yada yada.... beta just saves u a little time and most climbers gather data before they do FA's for the most part. it's either data, beta, required knowledge... who cares. i wasn't born with a figure-8 on my umbilical so i'm down with a road map to save a little time, but i think ur BA for not needing a map to get where ur going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 ... so i'm down with a road map to save a little time Beta on an area, beta on logistics of getting to and from the climbing, but beta on the climbs - I'll pass. Why? Being clueless eyeballing rock is the best part of it. No beta on FA's. Â Like chalk, it's just another crutch and addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) well isn't climbing sort of a crutch in itself? nothing like cranking down on some sick rated "r" gear lead after some slut dumps u for some other climber that cranks a little bit harder than U do but fills out the lycra a lot better than U do and U decide to buy a pair of jeans and a head band and go on a sick solo circutt instead Edited December 23, 2009 by pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_noggin Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 This sure wound up in spray quick?!   It would appear at this time it was a timely move.   And now we can have some Ego posturing heated discussion that that we all can Oh Yeah!!! lets not forget the pictures Of enema bags, clowns, care/scar bears and MR T that make this such a quality site. In spray where such topics and posters belong we can be taken in a different context that can be quite hilarious, Hey a poster with the screen name of :wave:Dick Head belongs in spray with the rest of the unruly  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
