I'm surprised it hasn't spun off into a debate about the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill.
Also, if a positive outdoor experience, leads to a more mindful life, it might be worth the cost of a diminished natural wonder.
I still think the bouldering pad tea cozy would be RAD!@*&$ness.

I do perfectly OK without a fatass $150 - $200 pad
Wolfboy, wobbling up the VB- problems does not = "perfectly ok".
I had a two hour set me and a couple buds used to do as a circuit. Never used pads, in 15 years od that routine.
Yeah, maybe if you actually went climbing, instead of wanking about on the same beginners' circuit for a decade a pad would come in handy.
I climb, I don't lay around on pads.
Keep telling yourself that, you might even start to believe it. As for the rest of us, you'll understand if we don't consider your bumbling about on the n00b warm-up circuit to be in the same league as actual "climbing".

Wes, you got real problems, and they are much larger than being a crappy mindreader, a leg humper and a dumbass.

Speaking of bouldering .....hahahaha
Remember that rescue at the base of Half Dome when that huge azz boulder mysteriously rolls away from me and Shipley.
Hahaha then Russ says "It's still going" and I keep saying "Noooooo"
LOL

No more pads from FISH. I'm sickened by the impact and overuse of the device. I'm going to head in this direction for 2012:

Do ANY of you hippie dirt suckers EVVER consider that creating foam is one of the most polluting processes known to man? You ever wonder what that sh#t is made out of and what is left after the raw materials are created?
True. Along with LED lights and solar power, bouldering pads are number 3 in ruining the planet via dirty industry. The halflife on all that shizzz is like 13 million years.

This thread is hysterically funny. I knew it would eventually get RJ foaming about Californians.

Russ,
I would like one of the new caps. If I send you a piece of foam recycled from one of my crash pads that I cut to fit the shape of my head, can you knit a ocelot pattern cap around it? It will be like a helmet, but cool...

Is that a pun?
Of course.
Kill a pad person, save a Natural rat.
And it just keeps getting better and better.

I'm just psyched to be climbing - Trad, Bouldering, whatever....even Sport! I also climbed for many a year before the crashpad days, and in general I disapprove of pad posses' - but there are instances where I appreciated a few extra laying around -
gotta love the spot!

I will send you enough money to cover the re-location costs
As an unemployable bum, leeching off the old lady, where in the hell do yo think you're going to get enough money for a can of vienna sausages, much less relo costs? We don't accept food stamps in lieu of payment, and nobody is interested that taking that broken washing machine on the porch of your trailer for payment either.
