pope Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 It's true. Some people rap bolt with seasoned judgement and restraint, and they produce good results. I still think that the common application of rap bolting has been bad for the sport and that the ease with which a novice can drill on rap, together with the "rock pioneer" status that they hope to achieve for these shitty projects, has transformed many of our cliffs into sissified outdoor gyms. I'm not hiding anything, and I'm not embarassed about anything. The protection bolts I've placed (three in 18 years) in the Icicle provide an example of an approach to bolting which, if adopted widely, would retard the pace of bolting while still allowing for development of bolted routes. What's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_D._Wayne_Love Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Chop 'em! It's a rap bolted, easily top ropable, contrived variation! Round up the lynch mob- it's off to pope's house we go! I'm bringin' the dog humpin, sheep farmer along, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 1. I am learning to enjoy something the KTK and others refer to as "French Free." It's so funny to hear trad climbers dissing on the trashy ethics of sport climbers and yet this French thing is acceptable.... 2. I invented a move called the "snatch jam" 3. I got in trouble at work for saying "while you're down there" to a male co-worker who was working on his knees in front of me. The guy wasn't mad, but another guy claimed he was offended because I could say that and he couldn't.

nolanr Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 You mean sexual harrassment can go both ways? I thought only men were capable of offending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 And while I'm at it..... Forgive me for I have sinned. I once lost my wallet...as best I can tell, it fell out the window of a car while I was performing a rude (and contorted) gesture. Forgive me for I have sinned. I have visited the Julie Andrews site that Dwayner linked in here a few months ago. Twice. The hills are alive.... Forgive me for I have sinned. I wore a dress in public (after my football team went undefeated). And I liked it....I mean, going undefeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, does this guy think that only females can get away with it because only females can get away with it, or is it that he's not willing to act on his "convictions"? I agree that the work environment is uncomfortably tense when you can't joke relatively privately with somebody for fear that somebody sensitive will walk around the corner.

sk Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Dear Pope, I am affraid that I may have a "climbing problem". Here it is : I will climb almost any thing. Tree's, the walls at the gym, the "woody" in my garage, sport, I clean after my hun on trad, top rope, I boulder, I even climb the walls in my house.

I think you need a diversion. Climbing is a bad habbit that can distract you from what's important in life. Try climbing onto a bar stool instead (just make sure that four sport climbers didn't leave it inverted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
