Golden Piton Awards

[111]

Golden Piton 2009

 

Impressive stuff. I think the Russians take the cake for the year though. Sounds like an amazing bit of luck

Looks fancier than my "Big Piton" award from Tacoma Mountain Rescue.

Give "awards" for climbing seems a violation of the spirit of what climbing should be. To me anyway. *cough* total bullshit* cough*

Aww Bill, maybe next year they'll add a Chossmonaut category, then you could give 'em a run for their money.

I think Bill has a bit of piton envy.......but in fact seems he's right. Its not about the color or size of your piton, but how you use it.

What, no Masters class award? But hell, I'd give Bill an "Olden Piton" any day. And it's not about how you use it, it's whether you use it at all anymore.

[G-spotter]

Clearly those Colorado magazine editors have never heard of Bacon Rock, omphalos of the North American rock zeitgeist.

[JosephH]

...North American...

Zeus himself picked it for a starring global role, not a simple North American one. What do you think lights El Cap up at night? Beacon does of course...
