offwidthclimber Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 "Imaging and Photography 20 hrs/month $800* Web Design 40 hrs/month $2,400*" ha! i can understand that if you provide large, forum-driven site, hosting can get expensive... but asking people to pay you to manipulate photos and design your own web site? $15 dollars a month. that's all it costs to run that site. shit, i spend more than than on beer every couple weeks, and i'm unemployed!

Dru Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I see on www.nwog.org main page that "R&D route" is Grade III !!! Perhaps this makes Outer Space Grade V After all a bivy is often required Quote
Lambone Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 www.nwog.IMGUNNAFUCKINGPUKE is the lamest climbing resource I have every seen. Each lame ass trip report is so skewed by scot'shouldbewearinNorthFace's gaper perception of the real world that it just makes me turn away in disgust. Quote
Dru Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I have had a few unintended laughs reading that site Lammy. I wouldnt compare it to Alpinelite.com or a good site like that but i did glean the odd tidbit of useful info from it. For instance it is the only place I have heard mention of this Sherwood Forest crag in the Icicle. Anybody else got beta on dat? Quote

I'd never give that guy a penny. Just because he writes a story and takes his digital camera on every trip doesn't mean he should get any money. Plenty of people offer beta and good information for free. Quote
Lambone Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Maybe I was a little harsh, nothin personal Scott, hell I don't even know you. Quote
chucK Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I agree with OW climer (except for the part about $15/every few weeks for Beer! Watta lightweight . But Scotty's West Ridge movie is awesome!! Check it out if you got a connekshum that can handle 21 MB. [ 10-31-2002, 01:11 PM: Message edited by: chucK ] Quote

C'mon people pony up!! You know it's gotta cost a lot to buy all the film and developing costs for the digital camera!

JayB Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I'm not trying to scold anyone or take issue with anyone's post in particular here, but I think that in general abusing Scott has become sort of a bandwagon phenomenon on this site, and as such he's been hit with a lot more flack than he deserves. That's not to say he hasn't had a regrattable post or two, but that certainly is true of just about everyone who posts here often enough, so I'm not sure why he's been singled out the way he has. I've actually been pretty impressed by the fact that he's been able to take it on the chin and keep posting, and add some self-effacing humor along the way. I haven't checked out his site very often, and am not sure I'd go about raising funds for a such project in the same fashion, but I respect the time and effort he's taken to put it up and share it with everyone on the net. Moreover, I suspect that most of the climbing public have a skill level that's pretty close to Scott's (and my own), and would perceive the routes he's covered in much the same way that he presents them. If I were to jot down my honest recollections of the way I felt on certain portions Dreamer, Online, Outerspace and even some pretty mild sport routes I had the chance to climb I'm sure that the result would be pretty laughable to the folks who routinely cruise up routes like that on their mellow days. I'm certainly inspired when I read about 2 hours ascents of routes that it took me all day to get up, but I can also appreciate it when someone shares a perspective that's a bit closer to home. So Scott, if you're reading this - I've enjoyed the recent TR's and photos that you've added to the site and hope that you'll keep at it. [ 10-31-2002, 01:56 PM: Message edited by: JayB ] Quote
chucK Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I was serious about the West Ridge movie. It ROCKS !!!! Check it out. Put your money where your mouth is JayB. Send him some cash. Quote

Send him some cash. chucK: Due to the limitations of the medium, It's hard to tell what your tone was on that last one, but you seem like a good guy, even though we seem to be at odds over stuff quite a bit on this board. While my point on that last post wasn't to be a cheerleader for Scott's fundraising efforts, I can certainly understand where you are coming from if you were saying "Put up or shut up." I try to do just that, and if the guys who ran this site asked for contributions I'd like to think that I'd be among the first to send a check their way, as I could hardly claim that I don't use this site much. I haven't gotten around to using Scott's site much, but if I do I'll certainly contribute. I do like to think that I do as good a job as the next guy when it comes to "putting my money where my mouth is" though. I've tried to pitch in with time or money whenever I could since moving back here, and will continue to do so as my supply of time and money permit. I helped out on a project to replace some bolts at and do some trail work at Static Point not too long ago, and sent 40 stainless hangers and a rap station to the fellow who was organizing the retrofix at Vantage this spring. I'm looking forward to making more contributions as my supply of time and money will allow. On an unrelated and gaper-worthy note, I finally did "Over the Rainbow" with no rocks for feet on the east-facing block just to the right of the main wall at UW last nigh after 3-months of effort. Woohoo! If only there was someone there with a digital camera..... Quote
allthumbs Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 JayB, I am the treasurer for this site, so please send any contributions c/o: trask Secretary/Treasurer Cascade Climbers .com PO Box 77 Bellevue, WA 98232 I will see that the funds are appropriately dispersed. thank you for your support, trask Quote
JayB Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Very good. I've instructed the folks at my bank to send along $1,000.00 to the address you've specified the moment the Arabs and Israelis settle their differences. Quote

Just to which "right" of the main wall? (i.e "right" from which direction) Quote
chucK Posted November 1, 2002 Posted November 1, 2002 Me too! Click on my site then buy me a beer! I worked many a late hour dicking around with that site (and drank a lot of beer too! ) Please buy me some beer. Quote
mattp Posted November 1, 2002 Posted November 1, 2002 I'm with JayB about the Scott-bashing. He may have made himself a target in the Muir on Saturday thread, and I agree that it is a little presumptive for him to think that somebody but perhaps a friend of his might want to sponsor his hobby website, and he himself has periodically come out and said it is cool with him if everybody laughs at him, but I still find it rather sad to see that so many cc.com posters seem to lack the imagination to think up something else to joke about. Scott has put a lot of work into his site, obviously, and he's also shown a great deal of real courage in showing up on this bulletin board from time to time. It's too bad he didn't make it down to Bridge Creek campground for the rope up, but I can't say as I blame him for not wanting to hang out with a bunch of drunk guys that are sure to do nothing but make fun of him.
