Mimi = NOT a shitter.
A woman was not involved in the incident.

And Hawkeye, STFU.

Meaty, we should focus on the good stuff. Got any good climbing pictures to share?? I don't...but here's a poor and recent one. (my son)

and Werners dog, always makes me smile.

Best post of the week Hudon on ZM: http://www.supertopo.com/tr/Zenyatta-Mondatta-Solo-June-2011/t11088n.html

In real life you have young Elvis who was so good looking and so hard core talented, and then you have Old Elvis who still had that glimmer, but was fat and rehashing all his old high spots. We see this is just about all climbers as well with a few exceptions. Then you have Hudon, but there is no "Old or young Hudon like Elvis...there is just "badass" LOL

Take care all!

"The ballsiest thing a Sh|tter could do, would be to 'fess up to Mark and Richard. Apologize, and ask for forgiveness."--PTPP

Obviously, you have no clue about the world of COWARDS...

...apologize?
...fess up?
...ask for forgiveness?

Hiding cowards only SH#TE and run !

I sh#t on George Lowe on Latok 1. Middle of the night emergency and I forgot he was on the tiny ledge just below me. Never needed forgiveness and 33 years later it's a humorous memory. Different motives on WOS but it WAS 29 years ago, let it rest.

Joe 'gingus' Callahan Shat an emergency projectile steaming froth all over my glasses while hanging tenuously on lead from hooks on the A5 crux pitch of the Hallucinogen.
No apology necessary then nor now 22 years later.

Like my children's book says "Everyone Poops".
GROW UP!

What is the Statute of Limitations for covert shatting?

more than one has said that SG is a good man. so why did he say he would climb the route then did not? why did he write these guys up in a How TO book on Ethics? you see, his writing these guys up was a way to approve what the shitters did.

now, SG may have his own motivations with Smith and Jensen, i dont know.

but El Cap is a rock and S&J are people. its one thing to disagree with peeps, its an entirely different thing to write them up in a Big Wall Ethics Chapter as a bad example.

that was low class. coming from a highly regarded individual.

i am not doing anything other then requesting a position from the highly regarded individual....but this website is as cliquish as the valley was 29 years ago.

Well, irregardless of how you feel about SG and Mimi, Amnon and Kait have still not reported what they found on the route. SC and his wife may still be right.

IMHO neither side has argued their case with much respect to the other side. When I go back and read some of the comments on both sides, I'm struck at how immature they are.

Joe Healy said:

Also, from a bolting / risk perspective, it would seem to me that pretty much every bolted line, but especially slabs, are by definition contrived from a risk perspective - BY certainly is and I suspect we can safely say the top of Growing Up is as well. How could they not be - someone made a personal / executive / FA decision on the bolt spacing - isn't that 'contrived'?

By that token couldn't you also say the risk on every gear protected climb is contrived by the decision to not place bolts?

EDITED TO ADD: Philo is 100% right above, thanks for the heads up.
