Crag Talk
its not that its distracting, (though I do love some goat cheese) its just lame, if you are so excited about that gym rout you are working on, stay at the gym. Leave the rock open for the rest of us. If your a gym rat to the core then stay there, your plastic pulling is not impressive.rjackson wrote:A couple of climbers talking about gym routes is no more distracting than a couple climbers talking about the best goat cheese.
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared

I wonder if Steve House would find any climb at the Red "impressive".krampus wrote:its not that its distracting, (though I do love some goat cheese) its just lame, if you are so excited about that gym rout you are working on, stay at the gym.

I like to talk to people who are psyched about climbing. As long as they're being positive, who cares where the climb is located or whether the route is man-made. People can sound like total jackasses whether they're talking about some badass climb on fine Corbin sandstone or spraying about the pink route.
Officially, I don't think its a faux pass to talk about gym training at the crag, but I did feel funny about it when I said something along the lines of:
Skinboat=the yellow route.
However, I've never thought it odd when I hear people talk about their gyms at the crag...I have certainly heard of stranger things!! (nipple hair...toe fungus...Ray's ability to pee in a very tall arch...anything that comes out of Yasi's mouth, especially concerning what she has seen recently on youtube... )

"Take revenge...shit on a pidgeon."
Don't feel bad...up and down climbing that thing took months of work...Kris and I even washed the holds and put them back up. It was stripped just before its 1st birthday (July 22) so you can imagine how many days we all spent working on it--totally worth it, and I'm sad its gone.
The new yellow, aptly named "euthenasia" doesn't live up to its precedent.
That said, is it gauche to talk about a gym route on an outdoor climbing forum?
