i'll bet ya can't do SB & i can. if so, i get the site for free!
if ya can do SB, and i can't, i pay double fer the site! ($900)
if we both do it, we break even! (and you get away from the wifie & the kids and get to go bouldering for a day)!!
you just said on the 'Woodson 2012' thread that you cud do it off the couch and you rated it "V3+ tops"!!
and you say you know some "trick" .. then go ahead and feel free to use it!!
i will do it as a straight undercling no "tricks" (& no knees)!!
yer just a hop, skip & a jump from mt. woodson!
"There was Silk Banana, the obscenely strenuous lieback, which niether of us had tried before..." - Josh Higgins (rockclimbing.com)
edit: the woodson guide & rc.com, etc. says its V5+/.12c ... dunno? (1st cupple moves maybe) but i think its much harder!
here is a vid of the 'Pullharder' crew (Josh Higgins & buddy) trying it that ^^ day! (btw, evidentely they cudn't do it)!
check it out...

I is funny LOL
Methinks Scetchy is co-trolling there since there's no reservation system for HVC.
If this is for real.. Anyone who wants the site can just lurk and take it for regular NPS rates today. If the OP's "stupid kid" really has a tooth-thing to take care of he's hardly going to hang around trying to patrol the perimeter of a camp-sight indefinitely to extort money. The scalp-e would probably have to pony up an extra $90 on top of the scalp-rate to get the paperwork to match BTW.
Yeesh.. for that kinda dough I'd just get a hotel.

JTM,
The 'co-troller' you referred to can actually identify and report this site without a 'reservation system' using the poster's given information. I did :)
Kinda like working in the biz, it's not what you know, it's who you know.
OT Edit;
Why don't you and E stop by for some campfire fun/dinner. we'll be at the hs thur-sun.

A better troll would be someone scalping sites at the Pit.
I have a site at the Climbers Ranch for the next 9 days and I cant use it. I was so psyched to get out for the annual Thanksgiving week, but the dude wants to stay home and watch that stupid football game and my kid has some sort of hormone problem and can't stand to go more than half a day without seeing his girlfriend.
Ammenities include: Spacious, wide open vistas. Close to fine dining, Near the park - but avoid the fighting over sites in Hidden Valley campground and people asking if they can park their car in your site. Exemplary custodial manager on call; just post on this forum and he'll come running with his trash tweetzers!
My loss is your gain. 9 days starting on Tuesday. $4,500 or best offer. PM me.

SO, who is this "Brian" dood?
(does he REALLY exist & did he REALLY come up with the $450???)!
And, for that matter, WHO THE HELL is this "PerlonHex" d00d???
BTW, I was VERY serious about SB!
And I am STILL willing to put MY money where MY mouth is!!
...just sayin'!!!

I would like to think that there is nobody stupid enough to pay 450 bucks for a site at HVCG, and then be stupid enough to pay the money over in town without a clue as to whether the site even exists.

Jon B,
I haven't been out to Josh in years. I don't recall ever paying anything for a site. i recall paying to get into the park (at times)!! maybe we paid something for a site, it wudda been minimal (like c4 was, bitd) i was shocked to see "$450", but i am pretty clueless as to what's going on out there these days. 9 days at $450 wud be about $45-$50 a day. It does sound absurd. Especially for a single family. But, I thought maybe they are sites for multiple famlies/cars/people or whatever?? Dunno!!
Anyway, I didn't know if it was (or is) a "troll" or a "scalping" or not.
I thought he (PerlonHex) was legit.
I HAD (up until this thread) thought it was still free to camp & climb there. And i have (family has) a Golden Eagle Pass (FWTW). I would like to go out there. But, if I had won the "bet" I would have prollie gone out there for a few, but most lkely simply given it away to someone more worthy of spending a full 9 days at Jtree (most likely what i wudda done)!!
I didn't realize that he (PerlonHex) only has a few posts on ST!!!
SO, WudEvah!!!
edit: i guess i'm purdy lame, eh? one of the LAME, ones! lol
but, i am totally serious about SB, no matter how "lame" it may sound or actually be!!!
EDIT: justthemaid - "I think Randy was pulling our legs." -- Randy Levitt??
He use to (maybe still does) live in San Diego (i think he is a lawyer)! And SB prollie is V3+ for him, eh? And if anyone could do it "off the sofa" it would most assuredly be HIM!!
SO, if I was him, I would take me up on that bet!!!!!!!
Or do you mean Randy Vogel? I suspect you mean him (now that i think about it)!
WELL , the same goes for him (what i said about RL)! He is basically in the same league as RL and also use to live in the vicinity, etc (actually, he was the one who is a lawyer)! I would also recommend that he pony-up if he is interested in making some extra "$$$"!!
I am starting to feel like a dentist (this is getting to feel like pulling f'n teeth)!!!!!!!

I'm not aware of any type of internet confirmation on campsites up there so the business with mentioning the IP track made me think Randy was pulling our legs. He could certainly report the site and the internet post to the NPS and rat them out though. Pretty funny if he actually busted them LOL.

PerlonHex - SB is V3+ tops. MH was my old stomping grounds for 15 years. I can still do it right now, off the sofa, and is a trick.
I have NO idea who you are! And you are welcome to your opinion as to hard it is as far as you are concerned. If you have done it (like you claim) and call it "V3+ tops" kool! BUT, what I have trouble with, what bothers me, is your referring to it as a "trick" (or as Johannsolo called it "a parlor trick"). Are you simply parroting him, or what? He can't even do it (yet)!!
I have no idea what your talking about. I suspect you have watched the vid of the "Pullharder" guys. How can anyone turn that into a trick? It is a pure undercling. Feet on face, under-cling upper flake and grunt!
What bothers me is that it is extremely disrespectful to the FA & SA! (Rick Piggott & John Long)! Rick never said anything about a "trick". I talked to him about it on several occasions, bitd! He thought it was damn hard. Was very proud of getting the FA of it. For you (& Johannsolo) to write it off as some trick or parlor trick (whatever that is) is very insulting to the FA & SA!!!
You can call me a drunk "give up the bottle" or whatever. I could care less what you say, think or consider me (its irrelevant). But to either start, or to continue to perpetuate some asinine rumor, that SB is a simple trick, is bogus! Particularly under the pretense of feeding some preposterous troll!
So, whomever you are (famous or not) that IS lame!!! IMO!!!
Furthermore, I am NOT trolling anyone (fwiw)!
I'll leave it at that!

Just so I'm clear here;
1) HVCG is first come first served.
2) You had a site reserved that you could not used
3) That means you had a buddy SAVE THE SITE for you
If this is all true, then;
THAT IS BULLSH#T AND YOU SIR ARE AN ASSHOLE
It is also illegal.
So, if this is all true, I say we turn the wanker in to the NPS

Cosmic, this guy can't possibly be for real.
If by some bizarre circumstance he does exist, he got exactly what he deserves.

And he's a bully to boot. I re-read yer OP, said nothin bout you ponyin up on site. AND you call your kid stupid? Jerk off. Also said your money was in the iron ranger, didn't say YOU put it there. Not my first rodeo with this bs.
What's up with the scalpin anyway? Hope you did get robbed.
Trust me, I'm laughin my a*# off over this troll, but in case he's serious, so am I.

so you are just a capitalist trying to make a buck? That it? You paid 90 bucks for the site and maybe 50 bucks in gas and now you want someone else to pay for your misfortune plus you want to make a hefty profit. All while dissing your family.
LOL.. and you call us haters. heh heh..
