Another crazy Andrew poster. My god. Curbside no Traction 5 star? WTF? Isn't that thing a 30 ft slab? I would be embarrassed* to recommend that route to anybody.
*No offense Kipp. Thank you for bolting it.

hey now, don't be hatin on curbside no traction. it may not be a 5-star, and it isn't slopey, but it still gives me great satisfaction to watch good climbers have to think and worry just a bit on a 5.10 with one helluva smear. tis a good little route.

no, you will change it because I am the bolting god, and if I plugged the route, it by default is a classic. please don't ever rate one of my lines 4 stars again....I also see other issues with Curbside routes that I bolted that you are trying to defame. Waltz the Deal and Sudoku must be immediately restarred.

Why does it give you satisfaction to watch good climbers "think and worry"?
Think? Hey, what a waste of time? or The shit I do for points?
Worry? I thought it was a sport climb? Worry about what?
This sounds like a Traddie thing. You stick your sport wienner friends on an OW, watch them sweat, then tell them its 5.8. Who cares?

i like to watch them "think and worry" about a route that's "supposed" to be easy for them. don't really know why, but i don't deny that it's true. i think i like it for the sake of the route which is stupid i know.
i like it just as much when my traddie friends stick me on an anything+ that makes me curse and grunt just the same. crack attack destroyed me, and i loved all 10 feet of it that i managed to sidepull up!
what fun is it if you don't have to try, and what does it hurt to receive some humbling and smack-talking in good fun anyway? climb on!

Is restarred a euphemism for removed from the cliff?

I think Curbside No Traction is cool because its unique for the locale- but I really like to watch people 'think and worry' while climbing the Love Shack- oh wait its a sport route, whats to worry about?

Doesn't "Bangers and Mash" have some slopers in the middle somewhere?

I like to tie people to the pole in my basement and leave them there for a few days while I run my electric machine that makes a hammer go bang bang on the ceiling above them and I play my haunted house tape of a ghoulish laugher and a woman screaming.
