Matt Lemke Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I was just curious to know if you guys get upset if someone post a trip report to CC which is simply an outside link (to summitpost for example) I write trip reports when I can but don't have the time to re-write and re-format them for every other climbing site it may be related to. Can I do that if I have a good TR worth reading? Thanks for the feedback! Edited January 17, 2013 by Matt Lemke Quote
telemarker Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I think it's mildly annoying to post a TR, say a couple words then insert the link. However, lazy as it is, it's still preferable to not posting at all. I mean, big deal, it's just an extra click, right? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Generally, a synopsis and a photo or two in your report is preferred. After that linking to a complete write up is fine. Just posting a link is annoying. At least if I see that I never click the link. Quote
ivan Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 posting just a link = lame tr w/o pix = ghey text w/o the fine-fuck word artfully and amply rendered = john-muir-wannabe-wanker-bullshit you have been warned!!! Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Post your TR here, then link to here from the outside site :-) Quote

But we who are not skiers or ice climbers are wounded warriors in the winter and love seeing a TR anytime and I have checked with the President and Congress because they are busy doing nothing and didn't mind saying "no comment" All joking aside, we on this site enjoy TRs. Some like pics, some like prose, but something is more than nothing. But like ivan, I prefer things that are meant for us. We are "cascadeclimbers" not "afterthought" And I'll continue the conversation by saying we always appreciate content, not just remarks. Facebook has a person that starts something and then everybody just gives a like or a right on or a I agree or some other remark. But we like TRs and don't withhold.

Matt Lemke Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 OK thanks everyone for the comments. I thnk i will write up a shortened version of a TR I have basically just summing it up then adding a few pics before putting a link in. Since I travel and climb literally everywhere (and will my whole life) I use Summitpost as my primary TR and photo location since it isn't restriced to one localized area. Quote
ivan Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 there is a catch-all tr forum here though: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/44/1/The_rest_of_the_US_and_Interna Quote
