If you are so bad ass. Let's see you try Excalibur. It's only 10a. I bet you can't do it!

Sound advice, tho I do complain when there is not enough checkers, but I also get up early(er) if I am keen on something. Works whether you are alpine, sport, or trad in my xperience.

Oh, and















ME

I am sure you would appreciate these ethics if you show up at the same crag and want to jump on a line that I am 15 feet up on.

I Understand exactly what you are saying ... that everyone should agree with your point of view. if I am working a project, especially a first burn on a hard route, I am going to do it right. I may try a sequence 7 or 8 times to find the most efficient beta. I don't worry if someone is waiting, (the only person the matters is your belayer) because when they get on the route they have all the time that they need to complete it. If I was to impatient to wait I would jump on another route or an extra warmup burn, something most of us have done many times!

C2C, I think you may have missed the point.

C2C - I'm with you on both accounts.

What's up Dusty, you going to accept this challenge or what? If so, I may want to run some sort of odds and or be the bookie to take bets on the accomplishment. Since you've been fairly silent since the challenge, I assume you are not up for it...

If I am wrong, let us know and I will act as "The House," and start taking bets on if you can onsight that 10a choss pile known as Excalibur. I think you got it!!

shoot..I have never placed gear but I'll take the bet...10b trad is what, like 5.6 sport? except 5.6 sport is more fun.

I think Duston's silence is graciousness in that you have no idea of his climbing vita. Just an FYI.

I sent Bonzo once. It was epic. I peed a little.

You don't need any trad gear. It has a bolt and use a screamer. If you do fall, make sure to push off. I don't want any blood on my hands.
