I just admitted I'm a gumby, and the proof is that I just got flamed by 3 posers in a row.

Don't worry pawilkes one day you will be able to climb a REAL 11b and finally send Head and Shoulders.

personally - I think that a grade such as 5.11 should be spelled out: FIVE ELEVEN like that. Show some respect ya know?

No really though I don't see myself as a gumby, but if I don't pretend that I am, the Gumby Twinkie Experiment would need a new less cool name.

Speaking of gumbies, so I am climbing with this pretty decent climber at the gym, and I ask him if he lead climbs, and he says "yes all the time". I break out my gear, start climbing, and he short ropes me on every bolt but the first(there was plenty of slack already out to make that clip). After I get down he tells me "ya sorry about that, I have never lead belayed with a Gri before"..

Ya maybe it's time for me to start saying 10s, 11s, and 12s like Saxman taught me. Maybe the reason I won't conform to it is because it was Saxman who preferred I say it like that, and I also don't want to end up like those hippie, grungy, spraylords at the picnic tables at Miguels "dude bra, he's never sent a 12 in his life".

Damnit, you all got me to highjack my own thread again. I might as well just post my topics in the highjacked category since they always end up that way.

ummm that should say HIJACKED like FIVE ELEVEN but spelled differently

yeah because Saxman is such a spray lord himself. and if you're calling him 'grungy' you're even dumber than i though.
