Maybe the first person to send a rout was 6'7" and they rated it a 10.a. I'm 5'7." Does that give me a claim to say it was an 11.d because I had to dyno for half the moves?
Lynn Hill says "NO"
Was being facetious and wondered how long it would take for her name to come out after my comment

I'm proud to hear that you're planning on cleaning up after yourself, piggie.

That was the funniest thing I have ever seen. And yeah, it is really similar to what is going on here. Pig is the guy in the background stirring up some action for us all to see. That was the greatest interview ever ! Lots of turkeys out there !
"you climb a RRG route in under 40 degrees temp, no send. "
we dont control the weather, and im sure no one is gonna quit climbing for the winter. You send when you send. Climbing is about fun! Some sending rules make sense; no weighting the rope, falling, grabbing the draws,. As for stick clipping, as ive said before i enjoy climbing alot and would rather not have to take 3 seasons off for a broken ankle. Just fucking climb and quit bitching because everyone else is sending in the winter.

Pigsteak is correct. I hate it when someone solos a route and talks about "sending" it. If you solo a route you aren't sending, You are cheating because you don't have to clip any of the bolts.
