Guess you haven't seen Pete in a while eh?
Also, this whole "fat guys in aiders" thing is lame. If it's that easy and trivial, why aren't you guys out there doing it? I guess hitting the local 30 meter crag beats climbing El Cap any day... said no one ever.

^^ WERNER: Are you calling me FAT??!!!
Not if he watches me, who makes you look downright skinny - if not emaciated - by comparison, Pete. And, of course, I do enjoy aid climbing, even if I haven't done it recently.

Nope.. I'm a total n00b poseur. I don't climb, I just like hanging out on a climbing site and reading about stuff I will never be able to do and then hating on it.
My comment wasn't really directed at you, by the way. I just see a lot of these comments about 'fat guys in aiders' and I think it's lame. I was there and I didn't really see many, if any, fat guys. Saw lots and lots of young dudes from all over the world, some ladies, some older guys, etc.
What I didn't see is any loud mouths from SuperTopo. I guess they were busy doing other stuff.

'fat guys in aiders' and I think it's lame.
That's only because you projected negativity.
It's actually a compliment.
It shows that it doesn't take only superman to climb .....

Having read most of the content in the WOS threads, the book about the climb, and seen the movie, I'm puzzled by why anybody would believe SG's claims about the climb, which have been clearly contradicted by the evidence. I guess it's much easier to denigrate those who climbed WOS than to actually climb it. I have much more respect for those who actually climbed the route.

I have a few DVD's left. I always throw in some goodies with the DVD's. Ammon & Kait autographed pic cards and some other stuff. The DVD has over an hour of bonus footy and some full length interviews with Steve and others. You can also get the Bonus footage as a download for 5 bucks.

Plaidman is often a 'fat guy in aiders' (and a kilt - oh the humanity!), when he starts up routes, but by the time he comes off them he's a lean, mean free machine. He'd be free climbing 5.14 if he could find a long enough aid route. Maybe something on Baffin.

I hope Jeff gets some residual from this. Definitely order from him if you have not seen the film. Its great.
Who would have thought that a title like Erik Sloan Arrested would give you 130 post about WOS and nothing on Erik
Only on ST. Its been a while since I lurked here.
