Foot slipped

[pigsteak]

I guess in SCIN's initial post there was an assumption than anything less than motherlode steep is not even considerede REAL rock climbing, so all of this talk of "slab" climbing is laughable....slabs are for beginnners, and those who refuse to train core.

I guess in SCIN's initial post there was an assumption that we were basing all measures of core and strength on RRO's sleek and masculine body. He is the only one that is considered a real rock climber. When he is done with the steep training routes and wants to actually climb with his head he just pushes the cliff over with a smile and creates slab as needed while high fiving chuck norris. So in even trying to compare our foot work, core strength or climbing level to him is laughable...

thanks man ! your a swell guy too

[pigsteak]

lol..that's why I love ya so....

Your foot slipping would be the reason you come off the route. Weak/fatigued core would be the reason your foot slipped.

Yea, you're right. I guess I just get confused when people say it like "Damn man! I freakin' had that route in the bag but my damn foot slipped!!!!" as if it was an accidental incident and nothing related to their climbing ability.

RRO you suck.

Ever hear (or make) an excuse for falling because your foot slipped?

Sure! That's my excuse number 349. The full list is 4637 long, but I need to weed through it and eliminate duplicates... it might shrink to ~4500 excuses, give or take.

So it should go like this, "Damn man! I had that route until my foot slipped. I'm a moron for not doing extra "windshield wipers" and drinking Bass instead of Millerlight so I'd have stronger abs and my foot wouldn't slip."

What if the hold had a puddle of water? I know that's not possible in the Red, but what if?

seriously though, what if you wear mad rock's?

YES! That's exactly it! No more of the lame excuses Meadows. Full disclosure from now on and I expect some signage.
