well i am not exactly sure what you mean by "trad ethic" being all talk, but if you don't like NC climbing thats fine, one less douche bag at the crag. hey that rhymed, sweet!rustyvasectomy wrote: They spray about their "trad ethic" but its all talk.

I love traddies and how they put their silly handjams on a golden throne. Ok, ok, so someone a while back was patient enough to give your gumby ass the rocket science twenty minute tutorial on how to stick your hand in a crack and move a thumb. Damn! Its like you guys know so much! I guarantee I can teach a flat chested sorority superstar how to handjam way before a traddie can learn to hold on to a hold less positive than the handle of his sticker covered planet rock coffee mug.elcapitan1974 wrote:I was at Tower yesterday to do Africa. There was a dude on top rope already on the route when we reached it. He was struggling from the butt up. I mean hanging , struggle , hanging, struggle. His girl " friend" was belaying and put the route up for him. When he got down he proceded to say he used the face as much as possible, because he did not know how to jamb. After words he was headed to do send Twinkie @ Phantasia. He says he can smoke twinkie, but barely made it up Africa, go figure! Trad rules! .12 sport= .9 trad
No problem, i'll give you that, definatly was hang, struggle, hang struggle and probably will be for a whileelcapitan1974 wrote:I was not bashing you Jordan, just going with the flow of trad versus sport thread. I apologize for the improper verbage for your partner. But all the other verbage was witnessed. We were also friendly and would be happy to show you how to jamb anytime. Hope to see you again.
. I probably should take you up on that offer to teach sometime.Really? you think so. I think sport technique is easier than trad, it's just more immediate, you see a hold you grab it, more immediate than trying to figure out how to get the most friction out of a crack.I guarantee I can teach a flat chested sorority superstar how to handjam way before a traddie can learn to hold on to a hold less positive than the handle of his sticker covered planet rock coffee mug.
pshh, if only it were that simple. Jamming is the easy part. Remembering exactly how you placed your twenty pieces of passive gear on a 60 foot 5.7 hand crack with complete disregard for your follower (who cares if your he has to spend hours hammering out your stoppers, passive gear is just so much more rad, brah...) is the hard part! But, it has to be done... Otherwise, you won't be able to vividly spray about your two pitch day to everyone in a 60 foot radius.pigsteak wrote:sport: gaston, compression, sloper, crimp, knee drops, underclings, backstep, heel hook, dyno, double pop, etc, etc...
