Then this site would be no more. Think of how the lives of others beyond Ground Zero would be affected.

They tried that. Haven't you ever seen night of the living dead. We just come back. Kentuckians are pretty tough.Bruisebrother wrote:How about we just Nuke Lexington!

I was under the impression that this site was operated from a remote super computer out of Cheyenne Mountain. I stand corrected.

You all are talking about strangers and acquaintences who ask to use your gear and then trash it. Have you ever had your climbing buddy ask to borrow your new rope and then take 6 whips on the third bolt? This is a little awkward for me. Last time, I did say (after the second whip in the same spot on my favorite rope)
"I said you could use my rope, not ruin my rope!" He then came down and stopped trashing it.
I have also had my climbing partner borrow my brand new WC friend, stuff it in a horizontle, and take 4 hard whips on it. He handed it back to me all mangled after we finished the route.

Artsay, can I borrow your new rope and draws this weekend?Artsay wrote:On Saturday, a girl I hardly knew asked me, "Can I use your rope?" and pointed to my rope stacked in it's rope bag at her feet.
I stammered my words for a minute with "uhhh"s and such and she said, "You can say no.". So I said, "Well, it's a new rope so I guess I'd rather you not".
The girl next to me, whom I think was friends with her (or she was definitely just more friendly than me), said she had one she could use. I felt stingy for saying no but the rope is new and Ray or I may have wanted to use it before she was done. She was a super nice girl but I just feel like it's one thing to ask to use my draws but to use my rope just seems like something only someone who knows me really well would ask to use.
Do these things happen to you all too? What would you have done?
(just kidding! Its super cool that you won given all the effort you put into last night!!!)

I think we should get Heratio's thoughts on this issue!

The one worthy thing that I've gotten out of this thread is that SCIN owns a stick clip. Now that's some funny shit

Funny thing, isn't it? How the rope I bought last year, Ana thought nothing of dogging, yanking, cranking, scuffing, stomping, taking factor 1 falls, on, dogging for hours, no big deal.
Now this year she bought the rope. Suddenly she's clipping off on every bolt when she hangs, neatly packs it up, cleans the dirt off, etc. But she still doesn't seem to mind taking big ole air time on it hehe.
Of course, I gleefully hang (I do that lots), bang, bend, kink, fray, drip blood on, drag through the dirt, and generally do my best to destroy the rope. Then we'll give it to Wes since its going to be in better shape than his best line no matter how many core shots we put in it.
