40:00!!! It's a great interview, and worthy on it's own, but sheesh, what a wait.....
Chris you should have posted that up at the beginning for those with short attention spans that are ONLY interested in hearing about the ASYLUM!!

The whole thing is excellent, trust me.
But 44:00 is where the creatures start stirring in the closet.

47:00, both guys are speaking really intelligently about the ASYLUM!!
But you gotta start at 44:00 or slightly earlier to really be in the ballgame.

I see the words “enormo” and “super” and “the wide”
And I wonder bigly and muchly what “the Clyde”
And some others with cred might have tried.
But that’s the same as pissin’ into the wind, I sighed.
Let’s just hope for the best not the biggest.
Common sense is the key to integrity.
Integrity is the key to trust.
I approve of Cmac’s philosophy of gentle moderation.
Ivory towers are built to isolate one from another.
Thank God for the “ignore button” with which we are born.

The summaries and humor and punch lines from 53:00 Funny as hell at 55:00 onward are pure gold and totally worth the wait. Hope I'm not cutting you guys off at the knees with all my stupid time hacks.
Excellent work ENORMOCAST!!!!
BASE discussion starts at 56:00, starting out great.

Can this now be the official thread where people ask that their account be removed from Supertopo because we are ashamed and no longer want to be part of the forums/troll mongering???
Thanks.

Interesting Listen...Nice Work. Supertopo and the Enormocast are my 2 favorite office "get-aways".

Check out the back catalog of Enormocast episodes--many are amazing. Peter Croft and Paul Piana stand out as two of my favorites. Hayden Kennedy was also great. Nina Capraz and Randy Leavitt are also highlights. The Craig DiMartino episode is unbelievable. Lots of amazing history, commentary, and insight on the Enormocast.

Hey nicely done thanks for posting!
We're currently stressing about a relative with borderline personality disorder and it's reminding me of your challenges with the forum :-) How to help and do some good and get the good stuff that we can get without making things worse and without too much cost and risk to ourselves. For us we're feeling very strongly that we need to disengage both for our sake and for theirs, before we metaphorically have some nutjob going to advertisers slandering us, or worse.
So to some extent I think it's just the nature of our borderline society now and our technological ways of distanced communications. Like your host laughing about pulling the plug on the forum and everyone freaking out and wouldn't that be awesome! :-) It's just kind of human nature one step removed from the immediate feedback.
But I don't know - a lot of people appreciate the freedom of this place that you create, and I think that's good, as long as we can stay one step ahead of insanity!
Thanks!

Jody got it right for a change! That's a jo-joke, Jody. Nice to see your back. :0)
It seems like masterful juxtaposition, doesn't it?
I have a question:
Where is Enormodome in relation to Lembert Dome? I can't find it in "Climbing Routes."

Great interview. Learned a lot.
Several things about the forum:
It is as diverse as are people and life. There are lots of good and bad. I think the good outweighs the bad if you let the bad go and don't take it personally. The history on this site really is invaluable. So much has been shared here. It's great that we can discuss so many off topic subjects in long exhaustive threads. Climbing will always be the common background and mainstay, but just like at a campfire or on a remote bivy there is so much more to talk about, not just climbing.
Chris thanks for the ST Forum.
BASE/Wingsuit flying is rad. I would like to see the community make it safer. Proximity flying is the worst drug of all seems to me. Learn to BASE jump to jump another day and into old age.

yeah, thats always been the goal. That's why we have always resisted breaking the forum into two: a) non climbing and b) climbing.
But I realize there is also a cost to having one giant bucket for all threads. There are more weeds to get through. But hopefully the weeds are not getting too tall!

When the weeds get too tall, you can't find the route.
