Terminal_Gravity Posted October 15, 2001 Author Posted October 15, 2001 I am not sure who (or how this was) moved to SPRAY; but thank you very much. A good thread gone bad...or atleast a serious topic gone funny. I gotta say that it encouraged some really prime smilies. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I love the way this degenerated into full on BS! Quote

Dru – If your so opposed to fixed anchors then it’s about time you go up on the North Ridge of Stuart and ripped out the rappel below The Great Gendarme. You’d be doing everyone a favor as the pitches on the Gendarme are far better than anything in that choss filled gully. To the rest of you who can’t tell the difference - Castle Rock and Frenchman Coulee are not Mountains.  Eric  Nice try E_Mohlman. I am pro fixed anchor though. read before you troll dumbass.  Quote
Dru Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Is sexual chocolate a boy or a girl? everyone seenms to be assuming boy. Judging by the My Little Pony stuff though, who knows?? Actually I want Hello Kitty stickers to stick on my helmet but that's another topic. Quote
slaphappy Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Dru do you have a thing for young Japaneese chicks? Isn't "Sexual Chocolate" the name of a band in an older Eddie Murphy movie? Oh and this topic sucks! Quote

Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 I am with richard noggin. This topic is utterly mindless. Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 aren't you all like about 15 years behind? i think that's when the whole issue was an issue. Quote
Off_White Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 Nope, not a dead issue yet. Oh, sport climbing is largely accepted these days, but folks keep chipping away at the edges, bolting cracks, retro-bolting, bolting holds on, etc. Here's a link to an interview with Steve Grossman, who has an article on ethics in the current Black Diamond catalog: grossman interview Of course, if you're oh so tired of this whole thing, just move on Quote
RedMonk Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 OffWhite- thanks for that article.... i agree with it nearly completely.... to me at least many of the principals that he speaks of are obvious and are common sense.... i'm just curious what a pro-bolters motivation is as far as climbing goes.... because my approach to climbing is very minimal impact and to enjoy the environment.... what is your motivation to climb i wonder....
