Despite the fact that I actually am an active climber, unlike Lil Bang Bang who does nothing but talk and shoot, my opinion on the matter is also irrelevant, I think, because I don't climb in Yosemite. If the locals (whatever that means) can't police themselves, they've got nobody to blame.
This is true Yosemite is going to have a bi-weekly meeting with punters from garden states about what ethics we should have in California also our weather is awesome and our girls hot go away

No, it isn't. I don't live in that suburban sh!thole you choose to call home. I roll in a 1988 Landcruiser myself.

It's an urban sh#t hole where I'm at, the hood actually. Almost all my neighbors don't speak a lick of english. Also, our girls are hot and you're fat yada yada.

F, don't you have some 5.7 crack you need to go tape up for again?
Leave the valley alone, go drink a little too much Carlo Rossi and start offering to pay for the cute boys classes again. Know your role, braj.
We'll give you a 2/10 for that zinger. 1 pt because you showed up, and 1 pt for being able to write in English.

We all make the mistake at some point of offering pearls before swine, cousin Burchy.

The Burch-ification of the thread of the Sloan-ification of the Nose rap route.

It just reeks of buttsex and circle jerk in here. I guess you all are having fun though, and are consenting adults and such. Go on, its fascinating.

I'm surprised at Rgold making this assumption and thus further propagating a myth.
rgold said: "Personally, I find it highly problematic when a single individual appoints themselves arbiter of safety or, in this case, traffic control, and then drills in order to realize their personal vision about what is best for the world.
Although I agree with (the rest of) your statement 100 percent Rich, you expressing it in this manner implys that is the case here. I suspect that ES doesn't decide to do these things and just act alone as you seem to be suggesting.
I think I'm in agreement with Werner on this. If you are a valley local, you most likely are out doing real climbing and not internet climbing. Why haven't any of you manly men (or women who I don't see bitching about this) gone up and chopped the Royal Arches rap route so as to maintain the integrity and commitment needed for the route? People on their computers just seem to be looking for something to get butt hurt over. If the locals didn't want them there they'd be gone tomorrow.
I'm all for leaving crap like this off the internet and letting locals work it out. That's the best way. ES putting it right in everyone's face as if intentionally starting an argument, is a strange thing, and not desirable.

Let Sloan be the King of Rap routing. Rapping is not climbing(generally) and is more dangerous. Oops, was that was the end of the rope??_.

Good point. Perhaps this is the will of the people and ES is simply acting as an agent of popular consensus. There is certainly no way to determine this from my rocking chair at the other end of the country!
Perhaps the process I described in the rest of my post is a bit further along then I realized, but in any case if consensus it is, then that in some ways reinforces the rest of my comments, which in any case already stipulated that the issue might be moot for El Cap.

The weather is splitter here! Send me your money. Climbers from all over are here, sending their projects and sending me money! I have big dreams for Yosemite, with bolts every three feet, and happy people climbing and swngs in the air.
I saw Alex and Tommy the other day and they are super stoked on all the changes in the air. Give. Me. Your. Money.
I am a steward and I know what is best for everyone. Thanks to everyone who has sent money. Keep sending me money.
I saw a rainbow and it was so pretty. Give. ME. Money!

Sigh -
What will The Nose look like in another half century?
(If anyone is around to see it.)

It will look the same, Wayne.
and the rest of this post below is not pertaining to anyone personally.
None of these complainers here did anything about Tom Rohrers rappel bolts.
Yet they've been used 1000's of times.
None of these complainers here did anything about Jardines hack job up there.
Yet they used them for their own individual reasons.
None of these complainers said anything about the fact that the NOSE has never gone free yet.
Just wankers shooting their dumb azz mouths off doing nothing.
I been climbing on the Nose for 30 years and seen all the changes.
I carried water from Tamarack to the top of the NOSE with Rohrer back in 1970.
I didn't agree nor disagree with him.
I've seen all the stupid wars here of people beating each other up over this sh!t.
Face it .... you zombie rock climbers are insane .....:-)
