Just do the moves on 40 oz and quit whining Dru.

Cheater stones= more dangerous.

Also what about the Route Non-Starter over at the darkside....its been done alot..just tramming to the first bolt...welll someone is now working the low start...if it goes....what happens then?? Direct start......grade increase??

What happens when someone sends a route? Uhh...name it??? My bet is he or she won't pick Non-Starter.

whenever i have a question about 'keeping it real' i always turn to Biggie:

"I got techniques drippin out mah butt cheeks
sleep on mah stomach so i don't fuck up mah sheets"

i don't use cheater stones, i use honestly blocks.

On the topic of 40oz the height arguement is not valid. I am shorty than you dru, I did the start. The question is what you feel best with, and that is a personal opinion. Do what you like, I have seen people tram and have seen people not tram, but don't use height as the reason. Good luck on that thing by the way.

never been TOO high, But for the sake of science I will make it my goal to find out what is "too high" for you.

On the subject of height dependence: I feel you cant play the height card unless ur smaller than lynn hill.

Dave MacLeod feels shorter climbers have a bit of an advantage, having less body mass to tug up the rock, etc....

nothing wrong with it IF he doesn't claim to have sent the rig....if he is climbing for fun, then coolio.

Who cares even if he claims to have sent the rig?

My rule of thumb for someone else's send is that unless I'm (a) relying on their climbing ability to get up some committing alpine climb; (b) betting them money about sending a climb; or (c) one of their sponsors, I don't give a shit. Call it a send for all I care.
