denalidave Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 ! How about a nice cabled and laddered girdle traverse of El-Cap? Or a "progressive" route parallel to The Nose that the "average" climber could enjoy? Seriously, an average climber should be capable of climbing the Nose! Again, we are probably to late to save the nose... I read in Rock & Bolts latest issue that Obamwa has already broken ground on the progressive cabled system to keep all the illegal aliens from sneaking into the valley to commit terrrisstic activities.

denalidave Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Most of you folks...including "El Jefe", "RuMR, "Drederek" etc.(kevbone is in his own special category) Thanks Rain. You know I am not attacking you personally. I happen to like the fact that you have such a strong opinion, even if I dissagree with it. I just love collecting Care Bears from the Dawg... They make my sport climbing so soft, cuddly & safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make my sport climbing so soft, cuddly & safe. (Not that I even sport climb much. I think I remember going sport climbing once in the past year and a half and that was only cause the complete North Ridge of Stuart was wet & snowy. If'n I'd had a Care Bear, we may have been able to pull it off, instead we took the dummdeded down option of clipping bolts for the day.)

rob Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you think leaving draws on a work-in-progress is bad, you must HATE it when alpine climbers leave their tents and sleeping bags for the day at the base of a route.

rob Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Wrong again. It was ridiculous from the start. I love how some guy who barely posts logs-on and leaves a post like this, and then vanishes. I should create more avatars, and let them "age" for a few years, for better trolling results. Brilliant.

billcoe Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ground breaking Johnny Dawes pro on hard British Gritstone. Mick Ryan put this link on St. Where clean climbing was invented and still 3 times cleaner than the dawg up there could imagine. With a few inventive exceptions. Proving only perhaps that one mans trash is another country's excellent route protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well, that pic disappeared...hmmmmmmmmm, while we wait, perhaps the Dawg should reflect on this: Which was full of the larger ones at one point: Which was the evolution of this 1954's Warren Harding hanger that had a 1/4 x 1-1/4" split shank construction bolt on it. In most folks world view, in many ways, things have gotten better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibby Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Raindog, I'm curious if you have ever pushed yourself to your limits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Oh, thanks so much for exhuming this thread Jibby. Raindog's been around for quite awhile, I'm sure he's pushed himself plenty, but not necessarily in the same way you do. It's apples and oranges. What he does climbing wise is plenty valid, though I don't agree with his summary dismissal of what others do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaidman Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 my dad's carbon footprint is bigger than your dads carbon footprint You know how you reduce your carbon footprint? Wear smaller shoes. Or wear none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS ....although why we are the dawg just goes to show shat masochists some of us are. Although I can contribute this: Here's some rules. Better ones.

jibby Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 So for me too push myself and accomplish the hardest moves possible on a rope, the placement of bolts is a necessity. They allow for the 'blank' faces to be climbed. This is the natural progression of the sport. For Raindog, 5.10 trad might be your limit, for others this is not. They are trying to climb their best and thus ensues sport crags. Stay with your classic trad lines(long approaches) and away from sport crags!
