um JH.....um...actually you must be too young to know the difference...while in your mind "redpointing" might mean leading a route top to bottom, no falls, WITH the draws hanging...this is a bastardized version of a true redpoint. (which has been discussed to death, so I won't) suffice to say, anyone climbing more than 10 years knows that you hang your own draws on an true redpoint...now if we agree on that, then all's good.
(don't worry folks, I am up with the latest "acceptable" practices of draws in situ...I do it, but it is still inferioir to hanging em....

You're entirely right.I'm just a big o' pussy!
Now that is pretty funny. You can't send AWOL. Hell you can't even finish the lead after hanging at every bolt, but you are "working" 12's. Dude, you are such a loud-mouthed, wanna be, poser that it isn't even funny anymore.

YEAH ...I saw this loud mouth grunt and groan his way up Take a Bow(10c) at the Arena on a stellar bolt to bolt lead. It was absolutely pathetic! At the second to last bolt he tried to get someone to bail his ass out. Then to hear him spray afterwards about how he is working on 5.12 in a pathetic attempt to save his apparently very f'd up internal valuation system was even more embarassing... for him. It is quite obvious that after nearly dying on a bolt to bolt ascent of a 10 that there is no way he could climb 5.12. I feel sorry for him, b/c no one really cares how "hard" he's climbing except himself.
I have finally voted in this poll after much restraint.
Lest we all forget... climbing is a mostly meaningless pursuit that we do for fun.
well, that's nice. I see that I'm world famous. My highest redpoint is a 11d, while hanging the draws.
As for the rest of you bitches. You can all suck my dick! I'm going climbing (T/R'ing,trail walking, I might even lead an aproach trail like I did last week.)
Hope to see you fuckers at the crag...............latter BEOTCH!!!!!!!!!!1
