Who's line is it?

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

If I have not been offended thus far by this shit show . . . how's a little race baiting going to push me over the edge? :wink:

I also baited your sexuality, strangely that didn't elicit a reaction whatsoever... I'll take that as tacit approval for sharing a single bed in Chattanooga this winter.

seriously though, what about Psychopathy? That thing is an embarrassment.

WTF? No response? I have had both guns blazing in here from the very beginning.

No need... Psychopile runs along the orange/tan streak just right of the black streak (and left of the wider upper black streak), consciously avoiding all the good holds at the start of Ethics Police. The trad route follows the 2 obvious crack systems (the bush is now gone). I normally wouldn't advocate for chopping, but since that thing is glued, manufactured, and widely reviled it seems to warrant it.

I wouldn't ever climb it. I have never seen anyone climb it. My vote is chop it.

Start a new thread. Let's put the current chimpanzee feces throwing fest to bed.

Wow, go away for an afternoon and Ive got to spend the whole damn evening catching up. First of all:
Dont blame Caribe for the name, blame my late teenage years emulating 'thug life' and the Chapel Show ... the logic follows:

if you bolt it,
they will come,
all over your face,
then they will drip drip drip,
turn your face - route into a toilet seat.

dont hate the players,
hate the game.

As for Mike and Andrew, my criticisms are not personal and should have been prefaced with an acknowledgement of what you all have done for the Red. Though I dont know you or your other routes personally, it sounds like yall have been up to good works for the most part. I really should have contacted you personally with my complaints, but upon seeing the advent of this thread, could not resist the urge to flap my yapper. I do apologize for the way in which you received all of this information. Please PM me if you'd like to discuss this business in person. Despite all of the jabs, I imagine we all only want whats best for the Red / community as a whole.

Chop the bolts! There are plenty of sport climbs and a ton more faces that can be bolted and make a great climb. There are not as many all natural lines.

Good eye on the line Meg!

Sounds like somebody is back peddling a wee bit.
Skipping cruxes is a way of life.
