Rafe1234 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 He plans to acheive this over 5 years is says? If they rap bolt a line down Cerro Torre this year it'll be gone next. Why even make another attempt? The goal is so obviously in contempt of the recognized style of ethics. What does he plan to achieve? Quote

alpinemorg Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I just laughed at a cartoon on page 12 of the new Alpinist this morning that satirizes this situation perfectly. Quote

billcoe Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Shit, now I wished I'd written Red Bull the first go round. Who saw part 2 coming? These f*ing people must be mental. Quote
Raindawg Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Where was the overwhelming outrage when Mt. Garfield was rap-bolted in your own backyard?? Quote
Captain panther Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 infinite bliss is awesome. if you dont like it dont climb it, and quit bitching about it. Quote
xhen Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Our boy Colin Haley posted up over on his blog: http://colinhaley.blogspot.com/. Has photos from when Garibotti chopped bolts, and then we he and Garibotti went back and did some more. And Colin has had some coversations with Lama. Â Best line of the blog: So this, apparently, is the much-anticipated courage and vision of gym climbers applying their skills to the mountains. Quote

genepires Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 comparing cerro torre to garfield? Â While I am not an expert on this whole problem in either torre or garfield, it seems the major problem with the cerro torre bolting issue is that the bolting is going on near cracks. Â While there are a few places that natural gear could have gone into infinite bliss, this place is fairly devoid of natural protection. Quote
el jefe Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 why don't we collect some money to send raindawg down to cerre torre (one way ticket of course) so he can straighten out those guys? he can probably take pope with him as i'm sure he'll be able to fit his little sidekick in the overhead luggage rack.

JosephH Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Oh, I suspect there's no shortage of guys on the scene to have a lively discussion with given there's already been one beatdown delivered in camp over the topic the last time it was discussed in earnest. Quote
kukuzka1 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Actually, I found reliable natural protection on garfield[for the difficulty of the climbing] Quote
xhen Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Actually, I found reliable natural protection on garfield[for the difficulty of the climbing] Â I've heard, and seen from topos, that it isn't just a straight bolt ladder sport climb and needs some extra gear. Yes? No? Quote

Julian Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Where was the overwhelming outrage when Mt. Garfield was rap-bolted in your own backyard?? Â Are we really equating one of the most beautiful and iconic mountains in the world with some PNW backwater? Quote
kukuzka1 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Thats failed logic. like saying since their destroying the rainforest that we dont worry about are problems in our backyard Quote
kevbone Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Who gives a fuck? Seriously? Good for Lama. NOBODY OWNS THE MOUNTAINS. Quote
genepires Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 not about owning the mountain but rather respecting the mountain, the sport, and the other members of the climbing culture. Â I think that sport climbing does not have to exist on every rock face. There should be places where adventure rules. (even if most of us have no possibility of getting up it) Quote
kukuzka1 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Who gives a fuck? Seriously? some people do, and alot of them dont comment on here because of the hostility Quote
