SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 0.0 A Guide to SuperTopo Gold
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 1.0 Trip Reports
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 2.0 Threads: Foundational Series
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 2.1 Threads: Individuals
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 2.2 Threads: Areas + Routes
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 2.3 Threads: Climbing Conversation
SUPERTOPO CLIMBING GOLD: 3.0 Single Posts
My hope is that this index of SuperTopo Climbing Gold will collect and organize the highest quality climbing related information, narrative and entertainment on the SuperTopo Climber’s Forum.
As such, the goal is not to catalog every single thread or tr, but rather to mine the best 1-3% [or so] worth of climbing related threads and posts that this forum has to offer. To add your favourite hidden and not so hidden climbing related SuperTopo gems to these index threads, just post the thread, tr, or single post that made a significant impression on you, to any of the six threads and i'll keep [in time :)] compiling and making them clickable on the first post of the applicable threads.
There are only two rules and two instructions:
Rules: 1. no self-authored nominations
..... 2. nominations need to be somewhat climbing related.
Instructions: 1. be specific regarding which threads or posts you deem worthy [ie. i need something more specific than "all of jimmy joe willicker's threads”]
..... 2. ask yourself whether it's just a personal fave or whether it rises to the level of quality that these lists generally rise to, thus far.

ok. this one has been seriously neglected... here we go:
Alexey: sweet... sent it over to 2.2 areas + routes: yosemite: general... thanks:
Wide World of Yosemite Valley Off-Widths [marty(r): Jun. 28, 2004]
karabin museum: yeah, the gear and also tool building threads are one of the biggest missing gaps, from my perspective, on here... adding them is on my to do list... but the to do list is large and only gets tackled when i feel like it, so feel free to nominate as you see fit. the dolt stories thread is already listed under Bill Feurer on the individual's list, and i try, with some exceptions, to only list in one place as a more comprehensive cross referencing is beyond my scope. thanks though.
mr. t: oh, what was that about a lot of the gear threads being awol? nice motherlode:
to Gear: Misc:

the security council vetoed a few of the sandbagging threads that were on the light side... ha! but these golden nugggets are now listed:
to Ethics + Style: Sandbagging or Overrating:
Most Overrated Climbs in America [donini: Sep. 4, 2009]
Sandbagged Areas [johnr9q: Oct. 9, 2007]
Sandbagging appreciation thread [mcreel: Apr. 19, 2018]
sent this one to the 2.1 Individuals thread:
Bachar, John: Classic Bachar Sandbags [fosburg: Jul. 15, 2009]
sent this one to the 2.2 Areas + Routes: Yosemite: General:
What's the most sandbagged climb in Yosemite Valley? [mason: Jun. 17, 2010]
sent this one over to 2.1 individuals:
Australian
Pauligk, Roland; 1937: Roland Pauligk RIP [Alan Rubin, Jan. 24, 2017]
these were sent over to the areas + routes: joshua tree category in 2.2... too bad the warbler's posts were lost... if anybody is able to find his posts on the wayback machine or other they should repost them up:
Josh Space Stations [Base104: Sep. 2, 2007]
How to get to the "Space Station" in J-Tree [A-Train: Oct. 4, 2014]
space station [chefer: Apr. 27, 2017]
this one seems more suitable in 2.2 so cal climbing culture, so i posted it there, but it could go either way for sure:
Old Fart ; New Scanner...some San Diego people. [BeeHay: Jan. 6, 2008]
GotD: included this one under Bridwell over in the individuals section... thanks:
Kathy: An unpublished Bird tell all [marty(r): Jul. 13, 2018]

What a bunch of work! Whose idea was this anyway? Ha ha.
Good on you for culling the herd wherever appropriate, nah000.
Yes, I'll take a look at those Space Station threads and see if I saved any to my hard drive prior the Warbler deletions.
Just looked: I did! Two out of three (Josh Space Stations + space station), so I can repatriate Kevin's posts at the end of the threads. I saved them in April 2018, so they should be pretty flush.
Wayback Machine had just 38 posts of the "How to get to the Space Station in J Tree". Kev hadn't said much yet, but I will toss it in.
The heavy lifting will be repatriating Kevin's posts in my "What Is Trad????" thread.
