This thread inspires me to get out to the leap and annoy people. Crag trolling, could be as fun as first ascents.

It is Vitality. Almost as fun as soloing by the people who've been on that two pitch route for 5 hours. lol

Ongoing rumors of angry and potentially dangerous local climbers are helpful for keeping the crags for being overrun!
We tried to do this for years in the Adirondacks before the guidebook writers felt the need to brag...

Rappell....oh those noooooobs!!! Bwahahaha
Usually I like trolling the experts though. Like ones who come up to you at the base when you are almost racked, asking you "are you guys fast?" My favorite in real life troll to date. Nevermind there are at least 4 good open routes near by...got to get on someone's ass.

Actually the heinous clouds of black flies (mouche noir) kept all away except those pesky Quebeckkers. The Gunkies usually delayed their visits until August and the blood sucking insects were in an annual retreat.

The thrashing one gets for simply speaking his mind. I find it quite funny how upset some people end up getting over WORDS. Polite ones at that.
Maybe do a little research before you open your mouth. You have absolutely no idea what i've been through. If you did, you'd probably think twice about what you've said, or at least have a little respect when addressing me.

I wonder if this dude could sustain a Spinal Cord Injury, loose all feeling and motor skills below his waist, retrain everything below his belly button, deal with chronic pain and climb the Chief 4 times within 2.25 years of his life altering injury?

Don't sweat it too much Big Mike in case you hadn't noticed compassion and understanding are about as common on the Taco as is reading comprehension. It's par for the course.
Keep up the positve attitude and super stoke.

PHu kato head, you are a -ansy zz with out the P or a to fool no flip off the moderation,
Yo! cheesy crouched, wankers !
stay in your air conditioned gyms.
If you so much as cared to read, half as much as you spewed,
you would see that of all the topics some things Big Mike brings to the kampfire are the best that this tepid now, site has to offer.
The reason for the sites' tepid turn of late is you! , and a whole spate of young Turks who's sharp elbows do not impress those of us who have been their and done that and lived to talk about it with the same stoke as the just come lately s.
Let's see if after years of going up and down to see what is up there rather than for fame or cash you still have anything to say .
You have been climbing for less time than most so you get a pass but go break your back or neck or ankle/ heel then tell us all how it feels to still climb 'just' 5.10,
?
so
Stick that in your Vape. And inhale?.
After stalking you and not finding much climbing content
but that much of what you have posted I agree with
it wrankles me, that is I makes me want to ask,
Real for real I have to call you out phukatohead what is wrong with either topic?
Where did you post the picture of the corner /crack? Is that on the Warlock?
Any way post some climbing content and quit the political threads , cold turkey! ! just say no to opening those posts, it is ruining your tone and ability to be civil.
Cold turkey? That would also be an old movie you might like or a song both from your folks days the 1970s.

I did not read the whole thread so excuse me if this is redundant.
I've been in this situation before. I would have the leader carry up the rope for the TR kids and set it on the way. (They can refix the set-up when they get there if they want.)
Best way to have friends is to be friendly. You can often turn an azzhole nice by just being friendly.
Hopefully climbing will not get like surfing where turf wars have been violent and common for decades.

Thanks guys. Normally I would just ignore, but in this case, since the fellow did hit the nail on the head about my posting habits lately, I thought I would take the chance to explain myself to all the haters who seem to think I'm some kind of noob.

Agreed Spider, I definitely botched this interaction.

Don't sweat it Mike. We're a tolerant bunch here living in a post racial society. Heck some of my best friends are noobs! We think you're ok either way :-)

Hi Mike, just ignore the haters: they've probably never gone through anything remotely like you have. For those of us here that care about you (and there are many, many) these guys don't matter; you do. I see that Phead has contributed little in the way of climbing content, unlike you. Just stay on your calm, good-natured way as best you can under the circumstances.
