EMERGENCY INTERVENTION!!! _Trad climbers call to action!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:25 pm

I hear from that ass, Wes, that Rhino has purchased a crash pad and has listed his rack on ebay. I swear those boulderers are some kind of brain washing, mother effing cult! We need to take back our own. Who is with me?

Nope we are more about freeing the minds of those who have become blinded by the bling-bling. _PURE CLIMBING will free your mind. Rhino now has the POWER of the MAGNUM. There is no way to stop the POWER, you may only attempt to contain it.

Speaking as a former full on tard climber I can tell you there is a simple 4 step program.

Go on one boldering trip, send one cool problem, buy a crash pad, don't look back.

No more heavy packs, no more belays, way more time actually climbing. It's really very simple and you get a superiority complex for free.

_Trad climbing is so last season! Hmmm... I bet I'll be saying the same thing about _bouldering when the season ends.....

It's all about BALANCE, guys! _Trad, _sport, _bouldering, _big wall.... they're all good. Just don't ice climb!

I'm with you Sandy. Rhino, don't go over to the dark side!

(...but if you are, couldn't you at least offer your rack for sale here before going to ebay!?! damnit, i'm looking for cheap big cams)

I can sympathise. I sold off part of my rack earlier this spring in order to purchase a crash pad. However, the only times that I've crashed on it have been at the end of the day and in the back of my van.

It's not worth it Rhino, take it from me. Bouldering may seem fun at first, but you will miss the glory, the gear, the bloody hands and knees, the stories. Don't do it man!

However, if you are selling any small aliens, shoot me a pm. I'd be interested.

Here's proof you don't have to give up trad climbing. You need it to get to the best bouldering.

hmmm... i must have salmon genes in me, i've been migrating to _trad from _bouldering. or maybe it's the way the universe keeps things in the balance.
