kayfire Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Seriously? After all the breaks we've tried to cut you and you post THAT?! Four minutes of scraping powder off of rocks with ice tools? You really don't get it do you? Please, have some humility and tell us that you were just trying to be funny (pssst...I'm giving you an out--for the love of god, TAKE IT!). Although, then again, you do appear to be learning: for once you're not claiming a first ascent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jefe Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 time for wallowing in the snow-covered shrubbery with ice tools and webcam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayfire Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The trees in the background, when oriented correctly, would suggest this climb (?) wasn't particularly gnarly (not, of course, that it needs to be). CJB, you crack me up man! You're suck a dork, but then so are most of the posers on cc.com (myself included), so it's all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summitchaserCJB Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I like how offended everyone gets. It's just practice guys. Chill out. Take a breath. Go outside. Get off the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jefe Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 "offended"? no, i think "perplexed" would more accurately describe my reaction to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) I like how offended everyone gets. It's just practice guys. Chill out. Take a breath. Go outside. Get off the computer. Very well, then refer to the above. I can see how videos are complicated to some. It's ok, technology is hard.

Quarryographer Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I respect that he's out foolin around, however odd. And not just sitting back bitchin about others style and ethics... Real climbers climb whatever they can, whenever they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Exactly. Respect. It doesn't matter what you climb, it's just the fact that you are climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson.g Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I respect that he's out foolin around, Agreed. Real climbers climb whatever they can, whenever they can. again, agree. Posting practice videos though...... Kind of Uncle Ricco'esque IMHO.......... Maybe humor us with your point Summitchaser? are you looking for kudos, cheers, respect, shit flipping, attention regardless of type? I just don't get it. My lack of understanding does not come from an ignorance of technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I just make videos that would enjoy watching. And I enjoy making them so might as well share. As for the motives im the psych graduate so I'll figure them out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 That help? I'll stop posting them if they are annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I enjoyed the video. Got me jonesing for some alpine climbing and brought back the old days when I used to live near and climb at Snoqualmie pass. People don't have to watch it. They're just flipping ya shit because they're not out cutting fresh tracks. It kind of pisses me off to, now that I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson.g Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nah, don't stop. Steves right we don't have to watch them. Maybe I am pissed (not really pissed, just shit flipping) because you have bigger nuts than I do. I make videos of climbs. It is fun. I share them with friends.Maybe I just don't want the exposure of throwing them out there. I don't know, your are the psych graduate, help me out. I am out getting what I can when I can, as a somewhat new father that is less than it has been in the past, but I am getting some. I manage almost every other weekend. I have just kind of stopped spraying about it so much. Maybe I am just getting old and my ego is starting to simmer down. Maybe I am finding some humility in life and starting to listen and watch instead of puff up and strut. Someone on here has a great signature line it goes something like "it is hard to learn(listen?) while you are talking" or something along those lines. Yet hear I am typing more on this site than I have in months. Anyway, keep posting your videos with the understanding that yeah, you are probably going to get shit. Yeah people don't have to watch them. And yeah you don't HAVE to post them. No hard feelings Summit, just roll with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genepires Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 took longer to read the comments than watch the video. That way one can scroll through the video real quick. So whats the point of this comment? Absolutely nothing, like the video, like climbing in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson.g Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Absolutely nothing, like the video, like climbing in general. absolutely..it (climbing,making videos,etc.) are about nothing when it is all said and done. So why take any of it so seriously? The comments, the video, the back and forth about bolting ethics in other threads, the Raindawgs, the Josephs the Summitchasers the Josh Lewis's, the Tysong's it is all a big excercise in gumflap jaw-knifing. I fell into it when I first found this site. I posted some TR's, I got some compliments from people I had heard about and thought were cool. I started typing alot before thinking about what I was posting. I ended up spraying shit about a friend (in a non intentional way) and I ended up pissing some people off. I hid behind a fake user name and thought I was pretty cool. I ended up abandoning that profile and switched to my real name. I started just kind of lurking the site and resisting the urge to just post up whatever hit my brain before the self censor chip kicked in. I regretfully broke that good streak tonight and did so in someones TR. I envy those with more self control than I. I apologize Summit and I am in no way trying to "humble" you. Like Gene said it is all about nothing so I will reserve my comments and consider this fact before criticizing or posting again. Cheers and keep climbing, Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Tyson, you nailed it. I think we all do the same thing in one way or another. You're right, why take any of it seriously. Its all in fun, but we probably all get carried away at one time or another. But really what it is probably all about is....comraderie!
