you guys are funny. i take it you didn't like my story, i apologize for going on about it then. and no i can school his ass on friction slab any day, not that i should be proud of that.

and no anticlmber (long time no see) it is not code for me. like i said, many of you probably know who i am talking about and i doubt any of you know who i am. he both onsited 12a's to be exact and redpointed 5.12's. but you don't have to believe me, it's all good.

sorry rusty, you must be much more of a badass than i assumed. continue to shit talk all trad climbing, i will leave you alone.

You talk like doing a 12 is some big accomplishment.

dude it is to me, and to a lot of people. climbing a 12 is no easy feat. if it easy for you then congratulations, you are a bad-ass climber with a huge ego.

tying my shoes is easy, just because a 5 year old can't does not mean I have an ego

yeah grip, only one who seems to have an ego is you. don't worry though, nobody really does care what you (or anyone) climbs

When a 16 year old is sending 5.15 in a few tries, you can trust that 5.12 is not a big accomplishment. Sharma warms up on 14a's. Also, there are a million no namers out there climbing hard 5.13.

5.12 could be easy for you if you wanted, just talk to Odub. Come on, my dad is 63 and climbs 5.12, and he hasn't even been climbing long. Its all a matter of training properly.

my comment was based on climbing 5.12 not being a big deal. when have i ever shown an ego to you? i am not that strong, but that's ok. i climb because it is fun, not to be the best. i never said that everyone who is strong has a big ego either, i am not sure where you keep getting this impression from.

i have climbed with many strong climbers who have been supportive no matter what i was climbing, and i am sure would think it was a big accomplishment if i climbed a 5.12. James Litz is one of the nicest guys i have ever met, no ego at all. I am sure there are many others.

there are many out there you are right, rusty is one of them.

i only state the "ego" because you and many others act just as elitist or egotistical towards "hard climbers" as you feel they act towards you.

you threw out the first ego comments towards rusty (a person you may/may not know) who is a person on an ONLINE FORUM. maybe he's for real but maybe, just maybe he's ann asshole with too much time on his hands; just like me, you, and the rest of the homos o here with an ego and a chip.

dude i only call someone egotistical when they are being egotistical. and i doubt the two people i have charged with be egotistical (Rusty and Andrew) really give a flying crap what i have to say about them or there egos. i have no problem at all with people who climb harder than me, weaker than me, or not at all. but when they present themselves with this "i am better than you" attitude for whatever reason then i might just call them out on it. so what's the big deal man?
