practice for clipping bolts?
from what i've seen on this board the only people that call themselves 'traddies' are people that:
a) don't live here
b) don't climb here
c) all of the above
you guys must be bored. i get OWs comments, he starts these about all forms of climbing, seemingly, just to stir shit up. hes done bouldererering, aid and now trad. i don't blame him, it gets boring on here plus the comments can be quality entertainment.
as far as the rest of ya go, this thread should be re-named, "I'm Too Scared to Place Gear and Climb Above it So I'll Vent My Pent Up Inadequacies in the 'Trad is for Pussies Thread' ".
can't wait for the sport variation of this, OW.
carry on.
Bolt the cracks and stop hiding...

Dear 512OW,
My knee jerk reaction to your post was to tell you that you’re a Punk Ass Bitch who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. Then I figured maybe I should give you clear a cut example of why climbing a Trad route is indeed more difficult than climbing a Sport route. But then again, there’s no reason I can’t do both.
If, as you say, Trad is “NO MORE DIFFICULT than Sport climbingâ€

Busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest.
Dude are you retarded. Please watch the video of Berthod climbing cobra crack. Velcro gear and only the peices he needed. He probably has less than 2 pounds of gear, and is clipping it faster than you can clip a bolt.
If you are hauling 10 pounds of gear up a route, you aren't climbing hard enough. Have your gear worked out and only what you need.

10 Lbs is a bit much but you will in all likely hood be caring more gear then you'll need on a trad route onsight.Andrew wrote:Dude are you retarded.

For 2 years straight, every 5.11 and harder crack I onsighted was with no more than 1 piece of gear remaining. Its easy to read single pitch cracks from the ground.ReachHigh wrote:10 Lbs is a bit much but you will in all likely hood be caring more gear then you'll need on a trad route onsight.Andrew wrote:Dude are you retarded.
