Runnit is referring to the guide not the thread, Neeeiiiillllll ...
...However !!! --- I tend to agree with you ! ... a chinese take-away is a 'confusing mess' ... but then itz perculating thru ya mind,body&sooouull...maaaaaan.....MMMmmmm ... However !!! --- you have to understand that in 2003/2004 retro-bolting was very much an acceptable/accepted 'mainstream' activity in the oz climbing 'scene' ... hex deliberately balanced a '...pretty massive thing ...' can of un-opened baked beans...(for all the bonzoz to chew on when it finally ... quite quickly, actually:D ... EXPLODED !!! ) ... in the open forum area 'campfire' ... and the resulting , far-flung, ' mess ' still adorns the cyber-walls of CragX & Qurank ... and now Mikey is swooping in to nibble on the scrapz ...

>so he started his own bizarre topic! ...

... hehehe ... did 'he' ? ... you only found it ' bizarre ' because a cane had begun to fall across ur ' free-hand ' in retro/re-bolting ...

Carrigan got ' a hard time ' from many ppl , for pushing the climbing-grades ... The Hex can accommodate&assimilate a similar martydumb for pushing the ethics-grades ...
