Na, the trolls at DPM are even worse than here. And hey I put a lot of thought in to that soundtrack; I heard Volbeat the other day on AT&T's cheesy rock channel, it said they even opened for Metallica once. I heard that Q Lazzarus song at the gym and thought it would be a good 80's song to put in a climbing video.

this really underscores the awesomeness of climbing. no scary gut check. no aesthetic draw. no difficulty. still out there climbing.

"no scary gut check"
= the more fun you'll have.

"no aesthetic draw"
I think the place and the rock is beautiful myself. I even found Mountain Laurel around the boulder field, I think it has it's own micro climate. For instance, at the end of fall when all the leaves have fallen, the trees at this boulder field all still have leaves.

"no difficulty"
Looking at your spray list, Lost and Found is about as hard as you can possibly climb, unless you're like me and endurance seams to be the limiting factor when sport climbing. I blame bouldering :)

Three douchey comments from Lexington, coincidence? Ha ha just messing with yall. I think it's pictures like this:

that are provoking the emanate war.

But really, this place isn't for everyone, but if you live in Louisville and only feel like driving 12 miles to go hiking and to boulder on some sandstone, this place is pretty cool for that. The above video, regardless of what you old people think, is not to boast but to be used as a guide, or just to let people know what it's like there. If you watch the video and think the place sucks, I'm glad I saved you the trip. But if you watch it and say, hey it looks like a bunch of climbs I would like to try, get out there and try them. I'm just glad I could help bring some local climbing to some people who live in the Louisville area.

i wasn't trying to be a dick. the Louisville 'bouldering' is really a testament to the draw of climbing. not something i'm interested in, but its cool as shit someone took the time to do it.

and just to clarify... there's no way i could do Lost and Found. v4 is the end of the road for me. i do appreciate the Ticklist review though.

I go 30 minutes in to Indiana a lot, I wish I had gone today. I'll be climbing at Cherokee Park a lot before the chiggers get there. O and I sent you a PM.

I know, I thought everyone's comments were funny.

The vast majority of the problems are lowballs, but I can think of at least 6 problems that are normal height.
