the weather is not that bad in kentucky. it makes you hardy and able to tolerate just about any conditions. going out west for the "weather" just makes you spoiled and complain about the littlest bit of humidity.
out west there are no lightning bugs. that is some bullshit.
Out west sport climbing? A joke...

I'm not sure where I said Rifle looks like a pile of shit. In fact, I find it quite beautiful, but I've never had much fun climbing there for some reason. I think it's the combination of chossy, slippery rock, and the crowds. It's really tough to get warmed up there because there are 2 decent 5.11s. A wise man once told me a crag is only as good as it's warmups. (you'll probably climb the warmup routes many more times than your proj). Just one more reason the Red is so good.
Did I ever tell you about the time I watched some tool drop a stick clip from 80 feet up the 8th Day? He nearly shish-kabobed me, but what really pissed me off was that it was my stick clip.

Wow, good example, too bad the arsenal is blocky, shitty choss. I swear to god, there is a road-cut cave on interstate 70 between rifle and grand junction that looks just like the arsenal. And if you think holds breaking at the red are bad, in the arsenal, whole sections of routes fall off...tutugirl wrote:Mike you are right, Rifle looks like a pile of shit...if you can't climb at this level...

One Spring morning of 1999, after a severe freeze/thaw period, climbers traipsed into the Arsenal only to find to find that a huge panel of blocks had dropped off the bottom third of Rendezspew (5.13b), Vitamin H (5.12c/d), Debaser (5.12d), and Dope Party<P> (5.12d) -- quickdraws still attached!
"It’s a not so secret secret that people who call themselvs trad climbers dont actually climb. They just post shit on rocklimbing.com all night while masturbating to Parrollelojams."
