Do you swing both ways?

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

nothing beats topping out a desert tower, IMO. I'd like to get into alpine and summit a big mountain one day, too.

There should be a post in the survey about bouldering. While I climb sport exclusively, cause everyone I climb with climbs sport and I haven't the dough for a trad rack, however if there were better bouldering in the red I'd be an exclusive boulderer, pebble wrastlin kicks ass.
Today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

bouldering is also special cause you can smoke dope and still be safe unlike trad or sport :twisted:

Holy shit! You can't be safe climbing on a rope and smoking pot? Next time I see that guy that got me high and made me climb trad that one time I'm gonna have words with him!

Thanks for the safety tip. If I had of been persuaded to do that a second time who KNOWS what would have happened!

The party behind us on Petit Grepon was blasting away on the entire route. I have never seen someone smoke so much let alone climb at the same time. To each his own I guess.

Then you’re alright with me
