AlpineK Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well this is a site for climbers...it ain't cascadescramblers.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 You'd best try the Mounties. They'll tear you up around here if you're not a climber. I'm not a climber and all they do is diss me and take cheap shots. They're harsh. [ 06-21-2002, 09:46 PM: Message edited by: trask ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 I scramble eggs... WTF is a scrambler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Figger Eight: I scramble eggs... WTF is a scrambler? A scrambler - i.e. a Class 3 or 4 climber. Historically, most climbers - read about the first ascent of Grand Teton (the Owen one, not the real first ascent). He described the difficulties as not much more than the normal scrambling faced when fishing, hunting, etc. - and Owens-Spalding is a 5.7. If your looking for fellow scramblers - there are a few that lurk here, but a better source for worthwhile dialogue would be summitpost.com (ugh!)

Cpt.Caveman Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Personally I hate scrambling. It is often wet and or dirty, or bushy, or chossy rock. Oh well I am a wimp. I have to say that I scramble often. It's not the type of routes I always seek out unless I am solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 There are lots of scramblers out there karen. Personally I don't like the Jeeps that much though, I would prefer a big desiel rig with a nice camper on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 all hard- cores? read tr from yosemite. there we find out that 10c (first climbed in 1971) is a relentless crack. then we find out about half a pitch whipper on a 10a (backwards!!!so most likely he has a pretty good rope burn on his leg ). that climb was done in 1964. then we find out about a "crank" on a v2 slab problem (did this problem in '88 and it was well climbed then). fucking hard- core- NOT. more like hard core head up the ass syndrome. enjoy the stink.

texplorer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 You can also find a plethora of posting from wankers thoughout the site. A prime specimen can be found in the Yosemite Daze thread. We'll just call him Bob. He trys to derate all other posters until the moderator shuts him down. His posts are classic of the lack of intellect which the "crackbaby sprayer" exhibits. These once endangered posters have made a comeback recently. Cheerio CC.comers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
