What "cost" are you speaking of? Do you even know what that term refers to?

I know that when I get a chance to buy something at cost it's about 1/2 the price & that's all that I really care about or need to know. If u think u need to know more you deserve to pay retail for the rest of your days.


+1 on hilarious blog tho, great stuff.............. Unless it's real.

To quote Wes from earlier -
"Exactly"

Don't worry I'm past the need to know stage.
I won't ask the obvious follow up question- because you might answer and get people in trouble.

BTW this blog is awesome because it's real!

Folks we thought this sh#t was over priced 40 years ago but didn't complain. You just bought the stopper you thought you would need for that next tick on your list and go out and climb.

I am sick and tired of spending ridiculous amounts of money for gear that SHOULD be cheap!

I am sick and tired of spending ridiculous amounts of time reading threads which may or may not be trolls.

Troll was a ridiculous Brit effort at nuttery.

I believe thewesleysummers to be some sort of Brit nut as well..."Child labour."

Good. Y'all're not Wesley from Nashville, then.[Click to View YouTube Video]

To all of you,

I am very, very, disappointed that thus far no one has welcomed Wesley to the virtual campfire. It reflects shamefully on the tribe.

He offers a very thoughtful counterpoint to the usual, self indulgent blather typically posted up here, his posts and blog, will in the fullness of time be collected by future Grossman's - you watch!

Wesley is a Confucius for the modern climber, the conscience we have let fall by the wayside. There's a rich vein of wisdom here that's barely been tapped - and best of all it's free you knuckleheads!

You wait, in six months everyone, EVERYONE, will be talking about HIM, even Werner.

If I lived in the US I'd hire him as a coach, for sure, you should too.

Bruce, FFS, really, you need to open your mind, there's a bigger game at play here and you need to be part of it.

That is quite possibly the worst blog on the entire internet. (and that's saying something) If its a joke its not funny and if its serious its sad, can we all just agree to never bring it onto ST again.

This isn't a troll. It's a pathetic whine from someone who needs to get a job that pays the bills and leaves a bit left over for playtime.

I appreciate all the great comments everyone!!
To those who just seem angry, and call my posts a waste of time.... perhaps you can get off your butts and actually climb something? You know, like you used to back in the day??

I am available for guiding if you need a refresher...

This guy puts a lot of work into what is basically a joke. Must have a lot of free time. I'd guess he's a college student, living off Mom and Dad's dime. Get a job, freeloader!

If your posts are serious then you're not qualified to guide someone to the bathroom much less a rock climb, and btw most of us still climb quite a bit.
If you're such a badass why don't you actually put up some pictures or post a TR to convince someone that you might know what you're doing because your blog only shows us that you have no understanding of this sport at all.
