seems like you're already a real gear-o-phile. take the next step. cracks await you, my friend.

yes the purists...wait for it...who never lower from the anchors on their sic proj;)

Don't worry Mack I'm all about the bouldering now thanks to the sick new bouldering wall at Rocksport and my newly developed bouldering area seen here in 1080p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga34VxSgXgA

Shameless! Are you familiar with the the 3rd class/4th class grades? Just because you "climbed" it doesn't mean you have to emblazon it with a "V-grade"... or a grade at all... or a video.

tired. besides, one doesn't have to lower through bolted anchors. top it out...then lower off tattered webbing.

Seriously, the RRGCC and Teamsuck together, could open an ad hock position called "Bad bolts beta boy" and then form a search committee to find someone with a talent for determining bad gear as well as an aptitude for getting information out to people without regards to thought - an intuition type of person. This person should be very egotistical and able to motivate people to respond to posts regardless of personal pride or ethics. For this position climbing talent shouldn't matter as much as - mouth talent. What we are looking for is a high-energy hyperactive person who can chatter endlessly - because bolts can go bad at any time of day or night. We need a look-at-me-everybody personality who has no pride and can undermine the most well meaning in appearance information and suggestion with an egotistical undercurrent based on: hey everybody-look-at-me-do-what-everybody-already-has-done-lots-of-times-before. Because this would be an unpaid and full-time position - a person with no formal education, motivation, or real job (preferably around 30 years old and living with their parents) would be highly desired. This person would be exempt from participating on any tangible or otherwise meaningful projects that actually do help the climbing community such as trail days. What we are talking about here is a real me, me, me all mouth and no work type of person and these are few and far between. Could there even be such a person out there?

And you wonder why so many laugh at you.......

I think you troll "Good then he wont be bothering me about beta and grimmin up all my pre-brushed, hard sport routes........no wankers aloud!!!!" because you're just trying to fit in and you really don't understand the concept. I like to think that people aren't laughing at me but with me. I mean I'm not the one who got trolled by a climbing video, Dustonian. It also did a really great job of bringing out the hater in you guys.

huh? Where did THAT come from? Who is posting "hate" stuff? dur-de-dur-de-dur-de-dur
