There really should already be a route named Sugar Tits.
You do the western version, we'll take care of the east, LOL.

You mean big jugs of beer with which you hit people?
Sorry to wreck your tits fantasy, just a step back on topic.LOL
Seriously though, is the Mad Rock dude going to explain or apologize? Does anyone here know him personally?

Where do you think the term jugs comes from?
I heard the Sterling guy is attempting to "discern a path to healing".

Not really so exciting as its being made out. The Beer caused inappropriate comments from John (sales manager at Sterling) to be made, it was reacted to in an inappropriate manner by Me. No beer mugs (they were plastic at he party anyway, and full of beer so it would constitute alchohol abuse)no injuries, the party went on for everyone. Happens between friends and climbers all the time, usually does not get so much press.
The version of the story posted above anonymously by "The Kid" Kurt Smith is not true. Kurt is an employee of John and Sterling Ropes but also works for Montrail Climbing Shoes. He was not there for the incident.

Yes yes, of course but you were referencing breasts of sugar, er, sugar tits. Double entendre, yes?

i stand by my words and the story as told to me. if the words become too much you walk away...
and...
when you launch the punch you need to deal with the repercussions...

This thread is hilarious, and here's why:
I mentioned this story to a fellow climber today as we were shooting the sh*t, and my synopsis went something like this:
"Yeah, supposedly the brand manager for Mad Rock and a guy from Sterling Ropes got a little too much beer in them and the smack talk turned into Joe Garland hitting the Sterling guy in the head with a beer glass."
And I swear to God people, no lie, my buddy's exact reply was:
"Kurt Smith. I bet it was Kurt Smith. He's a nice guy, but sometimes he really does talk too much."
This anecdote is absolutely 100% true, I am not trolling, this conversation happened about 5 hours ago. Again, this is completely serious.
I have to say, I am laughing pretty hearty right now after coming home and seeing these replies.

Hey Kurt, you still cruise around in that van & set up a tent purely for the purposes of concealing your TV satellite dish?

We're getting a little off topic here and need to get back to the important issue;

From what I've heard, it sounds like the guy was really pushing for a fight and Joe Garland gave him several chances to walk away before the punch.
I've known Joe for a good long time and trust his honesty and integrity. So when I read his post about the events from his point of view, I'm willing to believe him. Perhaps the other half of the incident would like to post his version of it???
This reminds me of Fast Times at Ridgemont High: "Did you hear about the guy who pulled a knife on Mr. Hand?" Or the humongous rumor storm after the "giant punch-fest" between Ron Kauk and John Bacher.

Ze seems to know something about sugar tits.

So Climbrunride are you saying it was Joe that threw the punch? He seemed to have left that part out of his post.
I liked the part about "happens between friends and climbers all the time". I was just saying to my friend and climbing partner that we don't have enough fights. Really, we should fight more. Then I smashed him in the head with a bag of carabiners when he wasn't looking. I love bonding.
edited to add:
Oh yeah, go check out Joe's hatchet jobs on Sterling over at RC.com. Seems to me Joe was the one itchin' for a fight.

Ron, Please describe the proper attributes that a route would need to be named Sugar Tits.
I'm thinking, big, easy, comfortable, delightful semi-slopers.
OR, it could be any route that someone paid all expenses and cooked all the meals, and did all the hard work, as in, any drilling, extensive cleaning etc.
Sort of like, the old sugar tit expression.
So before you guys start bashing Kurt Smith, (we van owners must stick together, even if mine does not have a dish or a red hot wife-person), can we get the real untold story here?
And I had no idea Kurt smith worked for Sterling ropes, is that true?
I do know Kurt likes to talk, he puts on a pretty good show for access fund events and such, but does he really talk too much?
Is it too much to tell the truth?
Will the two brits and the WC guy please tell what they saw?
Tyeary, thanks, I'm doing OK for the moment, had a little probably false positive scare two or so weeks ago, we'll see how the next 4 months go.
And as for Joe Garland, hmmm, so, someone, somehow, got you to hit them, but sort of when they were not looking, is that it?

I have no idea as to the veracity of the aforementioned claims. Said climbing buddy has been in the climbing community many more years than myself.
In other words, that's just how the conversation went down. Please don't shoot the messenger :-B

Too bad Little Napolean, aka "The general" aka "the kid" aka Eddie Munster wasn't present, you could smacked him one too. Wouldn't be the first time Little Napolean's mouth caused him to get a beat down. Ahh, what was that about 15 years ago when you got cold cocked down in JT "General"?
Nothing like some good ol trailer park Jerry Springer drama in the climbing community. Wank on.

Dirt, wouldn't that be a climb in the Tetons? I'd guess one with a lot of Sugar Pines on the approach...
