as for not paying for camping... i dont stay in camp 4, so why should i pay for camping? im not stealing shit, if i dont use the camp ground.
OW- you can keep freeing your way up 80 foot lines and ill keep bailing my way up 1000 meter walls.
Thanks.
Cmon now... lets be honest. Anybodies grandma, with a little bit of knowledge, and lucky weather, could climb The Nose in full on aid style. No questions. You basically said it yourself in another thread. An absolute novice can be "guided" up El Cap (Jack Osbourne). True... they are just jugging... but the aid leader is just pullin on gear too.
Aiding is to climbing what T-ball is to baseball.

you all are high as fuck! none of you have ever touched the big stone and are way to scared to step up and play. you also no nothing about climbing walls and if anybody that does know something, reads your posts they are going to also know you all are fucking retards. you all make KY climbers look like idiots with your posts!
aid climbings like t-ball? what is sport climbing??? hitting that little ball that is tied to a string on a pole. you never really get anywhere do you.
scin- a climber climbing a hard climb made the front page of a climbing website. WOW i was wrong there are big things going down in RED. hans and yugi made the front page of the SF cronicals and NPR and a bunch of other shit, but thats not website.

you all are a joke
I wasn't making a comparison to Yosemite. I do think Brad's ascent is a pretty big deal regardless of whether it's in the Red or not. That line stood unclimbed for a long time and it took some of the strongest in the world to prove it could be done.
Yo Ray jack dynomite! Listen to my beat box! Bew ch ch pff BEW ch ch pfff! Sweet!

Hans and Yuji got strong by what?? Sport climbing.
Tori Allen was on Good Morning America. Jack Osbourne doing El Cap was in Rolling Stone. So what? I don't look for climbing news in the SF Chronicles, NPR, Rolling Stone, or Good Morning America. I look to the climbing media outlets.... like 8a.nu, Supertopo, and others.

i did say what he did wasnt sick, i didnt say what you guys do isnt sick. i have mad respect for strong ass free climbers. i love to sport climb, i love to boulder, i just love climbing rocks. i like to move across rock, but you all think aid climbing is some lesser for of rock climbing. i know a lot of people on this board that have climbed or even bailed on elcap and none of them are posting... i wonder why? maybe they know you all are wrong about how easy aid climbing is, but it aint cool to side with me. oh well.... i dont give a fuck.
512OW, supertopo? thats almost all aid climbing news. i think the most read posts on supertopo are the elcap reports and thats all about psyched nobodys sending on elcap. i thought that was worthless news??? 8a.nu is what is wrong with climbing now a days. how many points do you have?
