Couldn't you just not read the theads that deal with training? This is a climbing web site, right?

for the next five years i'm gonna project 8 ball on gear. i'll leave a red tag with white stripes on the first piece so people know that i'm special.

ha! 8 ball on gear... sounds like the kind of choad nibbling that goes on around Boulder!

D, you just gotta bash on Boulder, huh? Not everyone from Boulder nibbles choads. It could happen anywhere!

Alright, alright, it could and does happen anywhere. But it does happen in Boulder quite a bit... there's just too many strong trad climbers there! I don't really think toproped-rehearsed retro-"trad" ascents are necessarily a bad thing... it's what the magz like these days so therefore just a little bit choad nibbly.

I think I'm getting it now...so, if all of those retro-trad lines were never bolted in the first place by over-eager Boulderites bolting everything in sight, then all of these recent ascents I've been drooling over in the mags would be no more newsworthy than any of those totally lame gritstone headpoints they do over the pond. I mean seriously, what's so cool about climbing a 40 foot line with 2 pieces of gear?

I'll fess up...I used to live in Boulder, and I think climbing a 5.12 bolted, barely protectable seam is way more satisfying than cheating death on a 5.12 R/X "trad" line. I guess that's why I had to move, though...I just wasn't enough of a hardman for the local scene.

BTW, sorry for hijacking this thread for my own amusement...it's all in good fun!
