in 20 years of climbing I have never worn a pair of blue jeans to the crag. ever.

I have seen the pork chop in action, and there isn't another man I've met who is more efficient with his stick. Yep, I said it.

When I did his route Rattlesteak at XXXXXX, I couldn't fashion a long enough stick to reach the absurdly high first bolt. Just about shit in my pants & killed myself climbing up there through the dirty, slopey start. Awesome route otherwise tho. I tiink I was wearing jeans that day, checking work emails on my phone, and spraying incessantly about how bad ass I was to onsight such a beautiful "10c" (ha!)...

gotta carry a mean stick dustin...

12 - no using power tools at the crag (leave your bosch at home, it disrupts the peace and quiet at the crag)
13 - no using drills at the crag (it makes the rock look like swiss cheese)
14 - no using spring loaded devices at the crag (no grigri's, no cams...)
15 - no sticky rubber is allowed at the crag (it leaves black marks everywhere and i don't like that...)
16 - no kern-mantle ropes are allowed at crags (braided hemp ropes only, please)
17 - no chalk is allowed at crags (it makes it look like pigeons shit all over the rock and i don't like pigeon poo)
18 - no belayers are allowed at crags (unless they are hip belaying)
19 - you may not eat or drink at the crag (what is this place, a restaurant?)
20 - you may not take cold beer with you to the crag, you can't have it waiting for you at your vehicle when you return either (i'm tired of picking up your empty frickin beer bottles)
21 - no cut off shirts are allowed at the crag (this isn't global gym)
22 - no climbing shirtless at the crag (no one wants to see your half naked sweaty body)
23 - you may not drive a 4x4 vehicle to the crag (they are loud and create a lot of pollution)

You had me until #20...

yeah up until number 20 that sounded like a typical old trad climber's dream list, then he blew it. but good start thb.....
