the red isn't THAT good. folks only act like it is because they are scared to go out West and get kicked in the head by real climbing. soft stone rules here. limestone is where it's at.
besides, the reality is that most mid west hicks have never been west of the mississippi, so they have no clue how the other half lives.

gosh o'. the climbing intarweb was real scary til ray patted me on the head and made mai ballz grow big. to recap: pat on head = enormous testicles.
sadly all i could do with them was use them for a chair while i wrote 2 'totally insane' paragraphs on a message board. /sigh
piggy: the rock really is great despite my inability to take decent pictures. some of it is still pretty dirty, but it's surprisingly not choss. in fact, it's some of the best sandstone in the state; 5' or 60' of the deck. and to be honest i'm having a hard time finding anything other than bomber rock within a 3 or 4 mile radius of the place i'm developing. the only problem is most of the formations are stumpy bluffs covered with 15 tons of topsoil. some problems topout, but most are dropoffs because leafs kinda suck for traction 20' of the deck.
but it doesn't really matter since there's world class sport/trad climbing nearby and everybody (who's anybody) knows having additional local climbing options is for pinko loser ninnies.
i mean, c'mon.

tbwilsonky, look at your first few post... weak! its cool to have options, but to think your secret is as badass as you think it is...
keep scrubbing little boulders when there are perfect sandstone cliffs less then 10 miles away... its for a noble cause, right??? giving us options???
i would like to donate my tooth brush if possible???

lol. so i take it you're like the king of the morons here?
regardless let me try to decipher what you're saying:
my first few post[s] are weak because i think my secret is as badass as i think it is? silly me. is there someone here who can please clarify the relation between what i think and what i think mo' betta than i can? please? send them in because i've been thinking lots lately and i need to make sure it's really what i've been thinking about lots.
i'm not 'scrubbing little boulders' for other people fool. it's not charity. i'm doing it because i want to climb boulders. 'giving us options'; now that's some hilarious shit. do i sound like some sort of rockclimbing red cross representative?
now back to the bullpen kiddo, before you throw your arm out.
-t
p.s. but i'll definitely take that toothbrush if you wanna donate.

king of the morons... NO! i am my own moron, that disagrees with almost everything that is said by all these morons. if you would read any of the other post would see that. i am the one they all love to hate. i think what you are doin' is most likely pretty cool and i will send you my toothbrush, just give me an address...
to me you are the same as the red cross (a charity). and thank you for your survice!
P.S. are you as drunk as im am when you post?
P.S.S oh yeah ray you need to turn back the clocks on this site. you are a hour ahead.

The only reason everyone raves about how good it is, is because all the developers do an awesome job covering up all of the KEY GLUED on hold Props Piggy and all you other BAMF's

Okay, So I STILL think it is lame to glue anything natural. Have I climbed on glued holds? Maybe but your right I did not know if I was. But my veiws what they are because I am a firm beliver in balance. I try to coexist with nature and when it lets me I climb some rock. But I dont agree with altering mother nature to suit our needs. Of course I know humans do this every day, but for me climbing is about the natural flow of the rock, not always the route itself.
so yeah yeah I'm a fuckin tree hugger and in some cases a yuppie. But thats how I feel. I wont pass a route because it has some glued holds, and I dont hate on others for glueing holds. I do thank developers for what they do regaurdless if I agree with everything that is done.
okay begin the bashing I'm bending over
