denalidave Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hey man, they got like, $50 already. Well, almost. Quote
AlpineK Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Looking through there resumes there's no mention of experience on glaciers. Climbing all the 14ers in Cali doesn't count. It sounds like they have experience bouldering. Chances of finding V4 boulder problems and or feeling in the mood for bouldering on the West Butt are low. Quote
genepires Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 sure they are not experienced and have a greater chance of making a poor film or needing to get rescued, but why the hate? Â glass half full - these are young pups eager to get out and push themselves. why not congratulate them on there gumption? Â but odds in vegas of them getting enough money are slim to none. Quote

I think kickstarter is cool and some very interesting ventures were started in the past couple of years, so I see this as bad form. I think crowding sites like this, by promoting bullshit (like this abortion climb and film project) is lame and will turn people off from funding some legit stuff. This is nothing, but pure fraud.

matt_warfield Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Mugs Stump Award is $25K split over multiple parties for world class climbers doing world class climbs. I agree with GGK. This smacks of reality TV: ordinary people spending time and money watching ordinary people do what many of us did on our own. Edited February 24, 2013 by matt_warfield Quote
glassgowkiss Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Notice in this extraordinary high price tag is the equipment, that most of us (normal climbers) already own- like down jacket, good sleeping bag or a pair of crampons. Why the fuck can't they be just honest and say: "we want you to pay for our vacation?" Hell, even I would pledge 5 bucks. Quote

Â Many a story has been told, pics and videos taken, and asses kicked at under 20,000' in the lower 48 for cheap. In the Cascades it can be less than 10,000'. 50% discount.

AlpineK Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Nothing wrong with asking for money. On the other hand submitting the funding request to experienced alpine climbers prior to publishing could have added a dose of reality. Â Nice to see your enthusiasm for climbing Denali, but... Quote
Crux Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Reading this thread pisses me off. Â Send money. Â Â Â Edited February 25, 2013 by Crux Quote
