A couple of years ago my buddy and I tried finding that Horney Bitch, but we could not positivley identify it. We even thought that it was just a mythical route. I see that it does actually exist and somebody nailed the Horney Bitch. Well it wasn't me.
Brand new BD pitons does sound like nice booty. I am sure some retrodude will retroclean it
hmmm... I wonder if some party was just practicing aid on it and did not now how to clean pitons.

What if some gumby was trying to start a new trend at Fortress?
He was testing us with some almost fixed pieces, then he is going to bolt up some of those savory tope rope problems that riddle the area.HHMM maybe thats not a bad idea. What is so special about Fortress that it doesn't deserve a bunch of bolts like many of the other crags?

yeah sport climbers are weenies because they don't have a cool crag like fortress wall that has only trad routes and has lots of poisonous snakes and loose rocks to kill you and is going to fall over. And it has NO sport climbs.
What crag has NO trad climbs? I can't think of one, and if there is I'll go retroethic it right now. Trad is like the air you sportos breathe. Its everywhere and you and your stick clips and your barking dogs and your gri-gris and boomboxes with dave matthews band CDs and little pieces of shag carpet to scrape your weenie little shoes on and your shin length prana pants and weenie little fingertip chalkbags and petzl patchie draws will never escape it! Without out trad you would suffocate!

[/b]Oh shit, here we go again. Another bettle between Trad and Sport. All we need now is the boulderers to trash both both camps.
All I want to know is did anybody get the pitons yet? Because if somebody did, then I won't go down there to freeze my ass this weekend. On second though, I ain't going down there anyways, it's too demn cold. I'll just stay home on surf the web.
Oh yeah, Legion you forgot to say "Sport climbing is neither". You can't have a decent betttle against the Sport weenies if you don't say that.
Wait, this is the Trad forum, the sport weenies don't read these post.s. I guess we win
Victory!

I'm just joking around. The sport vs. trad horse has been dead for a long time and I think everyone around here has gotten bored of beating it.
I hangdog, I pinkpoint, I work the hell out of things on top rope. I bitch, I whine, usually I do both at the same time. I make little drawings and write down beta for routes and borrow 300 camalots just so I can get up a 30' crack. I have even used a stick clip to place a cam. I am really a sporto at heart, it's just that I completely suck at face climbing, so I hike up to the crag in my prana pants and my weenie little shoes and my gri-gri and my dog and my boombox, and then I walk past all of the classic sport routes that I wish I could climb, gazing in envy, and then throw my sorry little chunk of shag carpet at the base of some scrappy crack and drag myself up it.

Legion I really enjoyed your confession.
But I really don't think you are going to need that shag carpet to wipe off your Mytho's. Those scrappy cracks are usually filled with mud, so it is usually just a waste time.
ps.If the sport Vs. Trad horse was really dead, wouldn't sport and Trad be in the same forum?????
