this is a pissing match that piglet definitely wants to join...
let's start with this. the first accusation was made by buster and ashtray. admittedly third hand, it was made to merely start a firestorm.....touche...piglet loves to start unsubstantiated rumors, so I tip my hat to you guys for continuing the legacy.
if you two really cared, and didn't merely want to grind your axe with Muir, why not PM the supposed offender FIRST? if not satisfied with the answer, THEN post here to get peer pressure working. just curious.
and now it is time for the current route developers to speak up. rockman, wes, rro, mcglone, redpoint ron, goodguy..time to sack up and speak your mind....none of you have placed a single bolt in Muir, but between you guys and I, we have placed hundreds of bolts elsewhere in the Red. Buster says the practice of flattening spots for hangers (among other things) does not happen elsewhere in the Red. Have any of you ever done this?
BTW, the anti chipping crowd sounds like a bunch of neo con religious zealots...you know, clean the sand off the ledge, trundle the 50 pound block, drill a 4 inch deep hole for an anchor, rid the wall of spiders and wasps, trample the rhodo at the base, build an access fund approved trail, put in chemical treated lumber for foot bridges, shit in the woods.....but by god, you no good pussies, how dare you smooth out a pocket.
just when we thought religious fervor was limited inside the church walls.....caribe and shamis, I look forward to you guys salmming their blind dedication.
on another note, and this is a serious question, since Buster forgot his lithium this AM....how many routes have you climbed at Muir to make this Disneyland assessment?
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
