I wreckon the solution is to let things flow as is ... new ppl ... new angles ... on 'old-to-some' questions ... so instead of Neilo going *sigh*, *groan*,*:-{~}* , etc,etc,etc , he can say " OH ! and herez a few good links for you to see what other ppl have said before on this topic:-) " This is a much ... friendlier... way of dealing with 'thrashed-ground' ... ------------------------------
The HEX 9-Dec-2005 6:58:44 PM	---------------------------- Read this while ya brain cranks-out JCP's ... I mean ... JPY's : When I walk down tha' street ! BOOM ! BOOM !! BOOM !!! BOOOOOOOM !!!! All tha' ppl , they stop 'an staaarrre ! An' say " haven't I seenya face somewhere, a long taaaarrrrrrrm ago ?!? ... Greg Child: "My roots go back to rock climbing. In the beginning, I wasn't really particularly interested in climbing bigger mountains, and didn't think I was very good at it. I think whatever you're doing, you've got to do it all the time to be good at it. But I think that rather than concentrate on one kind of climbing or the other, I think now I'm trying to be good at a lot of different kinds of climbing — big walls, big mountains, hard rock climbs. That's what I set out to do. It's been 27 years since I first started climbing, and when I turned 40 this year, that was sobering. Ironically, I'm climbing rock better than I have in years. But after climbing for 17 years, one day you open an envelope and find yourself included among the 'legends of climbing.' It's weird. I was just a climber, but I've realized, in this day and age, there's actually a bit of a living to be made just climbing, just doing what I always wanted to do. And one aspect of that was becoming involved with The North Face as an advisor or consultant on gear, specifically, big wall gear. Now that there's this thing called The North Face Climbing Team, I think people believe it's this incredibly glamorous thing where you're paid oodles of money and sent anywhere in the world to do all this cool climbing. Actually, it's not like that. In fact, as soon as I'm done here, I've got to get on a plane and go to Chicago to help sell a bunch of gear to an important vendor. But, on the other side of it is an expedition to Baffin Island with Alex Lowe. So I'm quite happy to do it. Whereas climbing used to be totally unregulated, even bohemian, it's changed in the '90s. In fact, it's a strange time to be a climber. It's horrifying, I know, but I actually get recognized when I walk down the street, at least in Seattle." Something to relish when ya finally get to be FAMOUS , Simey#2 ... but then again ... >Seattle ... ... Greg's probably handling it a bit better than Kurt ... http://usuarios.lycos.es/chidito/hpbimg/-Kurt%20Cobain-.jpg --------------------------
AZ.Steve 9-Dec-2005 7:21:57 PM	Hey Hexy, I'm a big gay @sshole with Terets Syndrome. Do you think cracks are better than face? Personally I like getting into cracks more meow but I find faces HARDER. Is it weird that I onsite a harder grade when climbing traditionally on splitters than when clipping bolts. Should I holiday in Thailand meow to perfect my crank hard, drink more, move fast, push grade, work routes style or should I stick with the "When it hurts its good method?" There is so much rock in this world, but I really like this one route called “Ask Me.” Its only like a grade 16 meow but I've been trying it for months now. The same moves over and over again and I get it wrong every single time. Maybe I need to try a different chalk, rubber or I-tune. Have you ever climbed by the Murry River? Anyways, thanks for all the fun sh*t you play on this thread. I met this hot chick the other day at the bridge and she loves you. Thought I’d enter this thread so she might like me more! 13:28
