no i don't care if they're chopped or not...i'm sure some people find enjoyment out of them...i just want to know to avoid them, which usually you can tell from the ground, but every once in a while i get sandbagged by the 4 stars that some heaping pile gets in the guide.
i would also like to know why they are bolted in the 1st place. i can understand the occasional pile erratic...but some of these you can just look at and tell they will never be good. maybe it's because they happen to be easy to bolt? maybe because the bolter is really psyched about climbing no matter the quality?

Dearest Dorks,
You don't understand. Let me clear up any ambiguity.
I am the judge, the jury, and the executioner.
I alone will decide which routes don't pass muster since the FA parties are not doing the job.
I have my doubts about the climbing community's judgement as well.
I have a gmail account. The user name is <<thisrouteisaheap>>. If your route is "judged" your only recourse is to get up with me, Da Judge.
A list of the routes on my docket will be published soon. I am "in chambers" so to speak.
PS.. Meadows, if you actually "did" new routes you would get it. But you are only a woman and can not possibly understand. There are a lot of ins and outs and whathaveyous involved here. Stick to repeating 10 year old routes.
That is all...

Easy fix. You should just go with your first impression.Horatio Felacio wrote:no i don't care if they're chopped or not...i'm sure some people find enjoyment out of them...i just want to know to avoid them, which usually you can tell from the ground, but every once in a while i get sandbagged by the 4 stars that some heaping pile gets in the guide.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Surely you have raved about a route only to find out one of your friends thought it sucked. I have climbed total piles and thought to myself "I cannot wait to post some nasty shit about this turd" I get online only to find out like 10 people thought that 1 hold about 3/4 of the way up, you know the one you kinda sidepull/fingerlock, was rad. I am with you Ho but we gotta let it go. Do it for the points!i would also like to know why they are bolted in the 1st place. i can understand the occasional pile erratic...but some of these you can just look at and tell they will never be good. maybe it's because they happen to be easy to bolt? maybe because the bolter is really psyched about climbing no matter the quality?
i think if you had the balls to post your own identity you might have the nerve to actually carry out what your claiming. which if you did, you'd probably get beaten up a lot, that would cause a mess--who's cleaning that up?

Yeah, the routes I've done are all old routes.Da Judge wrote: PS.. Meadows, if you actually "did" new routes you would get it. But you are only a woman and can not possibly understand. There are a lot of ins and outs and whathaveyous involved here. Stick to repeating 10 year old routes.
And as a woman, I can spot a whiney bitch easily. You sir are one.
