I think gnar, gnar is kosher for use in climbing situations, not for me though, I am old like pig.

Also I'm supportive of the pulling of that gear, it was pretty manky. Hows about all the people who are complaining about him not replacing the draws contribute a draw or two to the cause.

If gear is removed because of being to gnar, no one is responsible for replacing it. It was abandoned in the first place. It is merely litter clean up time now.

As do many non-climbers.

i would much rather hang my own draws than climb on ratty ass project draws... fixed gear me likey.

i hate it when people say shit like..."i've climbed on WAY worse!" ..hope it keeps working out for ya.
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.
