Attention Online Guidebook Critics

Eh em.....dumbfucks...listen up (you know who you are)...
I never set out to be a "guidebook author". I've basically taken John's guidebook and put it on the internet. Did I ever say I was doing anything else besides that? Do I never praise John's work and effort for the fucking bible he has given us? Why the fuck would I rewrite that shit????

I left out what John requested I leave out. I added new routes. I'll continue to add new routes. Jack and Zemkat gave us a kick ass interface.

If you set out to put a guidebook together, would you walk through the fucking woods for ten years collecting facts and info about routes when it already fucking exists!!!!!!!!!????????? What the fuck kind of human progression is that? Ever hear the phrase "Why reinvent the wheel?"

"Um...gee, I think I'll walk around Military Wall with a fucking measuring stick and count bolts just so I don't have to copy FACTS from a fucking book! At least then I'll have an excuse not to climb but people will still see my fucking car at the wall so I can say I "got out today"

That's probably why you are failing to meet your goals in life. Hell, I bet you don't even have any goals. You probably brag about being lazy. You probably brag about not climbing hard. You probably spray about not spraying. Fuck, I don't know what is worse! Spraying, or bragging about NOT spraying!

Others in life will work to meet their goals while you sit on your fat fucking asses and criticize their efforts. I would hate to be you. You can eat my fucking feces contrail cuz that's all your gonna see of me. Get a god damned hobby you fucking People Magazine readers.

Maybe we can have coffee one day and you can tell me about Brad and Jennifer's horrible fight!

Totally, I don't get people that sit back and don't spray. I just figure they are way more spiritual than me or maybe they just have way bigger egos and way more self confidence. Uh, err, wait, where am I going. No wait, they suck. Stupid hobbits.

Anyway, yea, your online guide book rocks big time and why the hell would you ever have to go count the fucking bolts. Way to go on continually giving props to Jack and Zemkat -- that rocks most of all.

Yeah people. It's not like Ray didn't ask me first. He's a good guy really. I like him and I think he's Christian too. Don't piss him off again!

{Ray, if you hurt my kids, I'll fucking kill you. I did my part. Now can I have them back, please?}

Yeah Man,
The Online Guide is an amazing thing, I've never seen anything so comprehensive
on any other sites. It makes planning a trip really easy, especially since I won't be
able to get ahold of the actual hard copy book until we get to KY. It'll be nice to check out routes that aren't in the print version as well. Areas like the Red (say,
Rumney for example) have new climbs going up all the time, so an online supplement is a great way to keep track of that. Everybody should have a guidebook in the woods anyway, how the fuck else are ya' gonna get all those pretty flowers pressed? Without documentors for our sport we'd spend most of our
time bushwacking around with heavy packs. Nice work!
