lmao. At some point in my life I will run into this couple, and I will remember to congratulate him on his onsite... After which, I will have to ask, just which hold did he use to clip the chains? Maybe we can have another name for Hoofmaker, aka Eddiefication (ed·i·fi·ca·tion ( d -f -k sh n). n. Intellectual, moral, or spiritual improvement; enlightenment.)

since this is a rule thread... puns don't count if you explain them.

Well, I am sure you knew the meaning... but just wanted to make sure

How about the alzheimer's onsight?

You fell into my spray trap. You are correct. I can't onsight anymore of the Undertow wall routes. Not because SCIN gave me the beta "go left at the chains", but because I sent them all(It took years off my fucking life).

As a counter measure, I propose the formal recognition of a new ascent style:

Hong-point

This is where you walk you up to a route, examine it and know for certain that you would onsight it. Instead of climbing the route you tick it off in your head and walk away. Named after the legendary Steve Hong who, as the story goes, commonly practiced this in Indian creek. In his case, everyone else also knew he would onsight it, so they gave it to him.

I need to update my scorecard then, how many points do I get for said Hong-point?

Hong-point = Moot-point

yeah stix, i know its hard to believe someone as short and fat as myself, let alone with boobs could send anything at the red. i surprise myself sometimes. how bout you stop worrying about the integrity of my 2008 backlogs on 8a.nu and get out there and have fun climbing!
