why would I..... you are up there spreading the Monteath vision, and things are so much better down
here as a result, I can understand Ado's concerns re: the twisted version you tried to peddle us as to
what was said...... and the truth... what he actually wrote to you.
I don't doubt that I run the risk of having you disable my account... you have done it before when you
disagreed with, or didn't like what I was saying, but the truth hurts sometimes.
But hey, the truth is you are a new route machine, the kind that doesn't let little things like other
peoples time and investment in an area or environmental issues like the type of fiasco that happened
after opening up the Ravine here in the Grampians.
some people put up routes because they are just incredible lines just screaming to be climbed.
some people put up climbs because the personal challenge is calling out to them to push their limits.
I feel that with you it's just an addiction to see your own name in print, be it as an editor, Crux, ACA
Chockstone etc, or in photos of yourself, Smugmug, Rock, Crux, etc to the inevitable entries that are
made as you put up yet another totally average three star "Megaclassic", why not just call all your
routes Megaclassic, you know, megaclassic 1, megaclassic 2 megaclassic 3 etc etc etc.......
I would follow Ado's advice..... climb a few routes in the area before deciding that you have come up
with yet another Megaclassic,
