I searched and couldn't find a Vitaliy love fest thread, but I never can find anything on the taco's search thing.
This guy is one of the biggest reasons I check in for climbing content. Thanks for all of your TRs, each one seems to get more impressive and you represent climbers best. Keep it up.
I have even learned how to spell your name correctly, but am kinda glad your last name is only represented by a M.

The V-Man is full of stoke and climbing groove!
He deserves a little glory sauce.
Keep on climbing bro!

Way more important to the climbing world than Chris Sharma. Should be a star in "Climbing" and "Rock & Ice." I've told them as much.
Guys like VM represent the real climbing community in a big way. It's not his FA's though he's getting some good ones, or how hard he climbs, and he climbs plenty hard. It's all he does as a self made athlete who has to keep a day job.
A real guy and a friend to all.

Vittles is pretty hardcore.
It's cool to see how far you've come in just a few years.

The most active, successful climber here....Vitaliy is a real treasure. "Stoked" hardly qualifies as an adjective to describe what he brings to this arm chair forum. Some of us like to imagine that he is getting it done like we used to.....hmmmm, we only wish.

Vitaliy....I ALWAYS look for his stuff on ST. Bummed I couldn't make his slide show.
His early history is fascinating...talk about over coming hardship.
Thanks Mike for taking the time to share all that you do.

Thanks a lot guys, happy to contribute to the stoke. Posting on this site has helped me meet new partners and make new friends. Hope to meet many more in the future. Sharing the stoke on here is nice, but hanging out in real world is even better. Have to admit, a lot of blushing going on now, did not expect to see a thread like this!

Dude you rock.....
Thank you for taking the time to write great trip reports for many of the climbs I have wanted to do but will never get around to doing.
I hope to meet you someday at a real campfire and swap stories.

I can't stand that guy, always smiling, getting out there and posting pictures of incredible routes, on great rock, in the sunshine, usually on topic.... Who does he think he is?
