I still don't know why I'm having all these comments directed at me....

 

'cuz you can/have actually climbed, have a girl friend and oh, I forgot...can't actually recite every climb or boulder problem you have done in your life. May be that is why.

 

You can't recite/remember them all....can you?? Naw, didn't think so :)

I hear you brag about polar circus all over the place.

It's not about the gnar for me. That's just how I roll. It's not about talking about it. I'll leave that for others. I just talk back. You wanna post a TR every time you hike? That's you. Me, I'm already on to my next project, whether it be Patagonia, China, The Shellrocks, wherever. I don't feel the need to explain it.

Must be talking about me 'cuz don't think Marc has done PC last we talked. Not that he couldn't with ease. You? Not likely.

 

Climbing is a lot like fighting...always some one bigger and badder out there with his mouth shut ready to slap you around like a rag doll. Best to shut the fuck up so you don't look so..... stupid.

Anyone remember this post?

 

G. Roper describes 2nd, 3rd, and 4th class in terms of difficulty.

2nd class - like walking up an open stairwell on the outside of a building with a railing.

3rd class - like walking up that same stairwell without the railing.

4th class - like climbing an off-vertical ladder up that same building. If you fell, it would kill you, but it would be damn hard to fall unintentionally.

5th class - having to climb the building without the stairwell of the ladder.

 

I remember that NOLS taught it as the consequences of an unprotected fall:

1st class - you might get some bruises and cuts.

2nd class - you will get some bruises and cuts.

3rd class - you will get some bruises and cuts, you might break something.

4th class - you will break something, you might get dead.

5th class - will kill you.
