Stay tuned Rodger.
This site has been pronounced dead a dozen times since I started posting here.
I have been too busy of late to post and bump the kind of content that keeps you guys engaged and I feel disappointed when good folks lose interest in being here.
A little respect and self-restraint goes a long way on this forum.

Some of you that did the smakdown on Rodger:
Did you know that Brokedown is a pioneer dating back to the Kor/Ament Heyday in Colorado?
He's not a donald, or rokjox or LEB in other words.

Sometimes existence may suck.
You just got to suck it up and truck.
Don't break it down, don't even frown.
Shine a light.

What would Bruce throw out there?
Lenny? Did you exist? Did you break down?
Rodger was liking Lenny before half you readers were born.
Let him get it out and just go with his flow.
He understands more about climbing than most of us will ever know or think we know.

The Taco is a reflection of the scene in Yosemite Valley, which can be more harsh and rude than any in the country. On one level this is understandable because there are so many people there and it's easy to become jaded. But there is also just a culture of unfriendly competition in California climbing. Don't know why this is, but it's unfortunate.

I spent a lot of time in the Valley in the past, and maybe I wasn't one of the "in crowd", but I don't ever remember the type of aggressive slander, name calling, and rudeness that goes on here now.
Maybe it's just me but I find I'm always finding exceptional friendliness when I've been there currently. I think you find what you look for.

I don't know Mark. I'll give you some examples: rope theft, bolt chopping, tire slashing, fist fights, slander, challenging people to free soloing.
Another anecdote from a good friend who topped out his first wall, the Prow. He and his partner had run out of water and ran into a team who had just blasted Astroman. These guys had extra water, so my buddy asks if they could spare just a bit for the descent. The guys scowled at them and said, "You should have planned better."

I've always wondered about men who say "you are the man." Reminds me of when my gf tells me "you are the bitch."

It still is,Q
I still climb, and have been for the last 47 years.
And I'm pretty sure almost all the posters here,still,
get on the rock every once in a while.
Some more than others, I grant.
After 20 years away from climbing, I've spent the last two weekends flailing and failing in JT. It is the most alive I have felt in ages.
