RJ,
Maybe it is just me seeing it through better eyes, but that was the best post you've made yet.
You clearly state the WoS/SoD order issue. And while I have always seen it the other way, I now see your side of it, and I think you might be right. The Sea was exaulted, so would not have been a good choice. Maybe the PO... Splitting blonde hairs now, I know.
I really get what you're saying about the sea, hmmm...

Mimi,
heartfelt opinions to be sure. Perhaps you could shed some light on the subject by telling us what the basis for your opinion is? The heart felt vitriol comes across as something different without understanding how you got there.
Off white,
Stepping up like a man huh? Like you guys did at night by jugging fixed lines? Just curious, was the route so beneath you that you did not feel the need to climb it? Did you really do that? I am just curious since I think you are a moderator on cascadeclimbers.com (at least same screen name) and sometimes you really come across as trying to control some infamatory discussions. I would have thought a gear shitter would allow more expressive freedom.
Please advise...
EDIT
I am just a curious bystander who is amazed at some of the comments made after all of these years....And the route still has not been climbed.

Thanks Christian. Actually the issue was raised before, and I should have responded to it long ago, I think, seeing how the ebb and flow of the debate has gone over time. Maybe it would have been more helpful earlier.

Yeah, it wasn't that funny but I promised Mimi I'd do the "I am Spartacus" thing, and really, who doesn't love a good corn stool? When I say I'm an El Cap climber, I mean that I've done Moby Dick Center, La Cosita and most of the East Buttress, and I've never qualified as a Valley local. This topic is not my obsession, but sometimes one just has to stick their paddle into the pot, give it a stir, and see what rises to the top.
And yup, I'm the same Off White everywhere you go. I get mail that way, cash checks, and it's what friends and family call me. It only seems like an anonymous avatar. When I get out of hand here odds are Werner will chide me and I'll straighten up, it's a relief to not have to behave like a moderator everywhere.

"I heard a long while back that the head of SAR (John Dail) was in on the chopping"
TradHog, My paradigm of reality is a 3 legged stool and you just knocked the last leg out from under it. First I find out that we never landed on the moon, then that the government took down the World Trade Center, and now that John Dill orchestrated chopping WoS.
Hey, something to add to our SoD ascent story, when we began our effort amazingly we were called before SAR a second time to describe our ethics and intentions before being given a grudging "ok" to proceed.

Would someone be so kind as to provide a link to the backstory on this thread.
Seriously, I'm lost.
And it involves poop, so now I have to read it all.

WTF?
My previous post is cut short, I went in and edited it and it's still short?
Someone got something against poop and the Nodder?

Thanks, I think I'll just ignore that one, too many words, too few pictures.

Mimi is just another coward - a nameless, faceless and dickless detractor. [A guy most likely, doesn't write like a girl] Ergo Mimi's opinion is worthless because she has no credibility.
To be credible on an internet forum, you need to be real, to have the courage to stand behind your identity.

Hmm, maybe you missed her photo and Tarbuster's statement that he has known her for years, and her name is........Mimi.
