So, weakwrist's shtick for the last decade or so is that he's "young", perhaps, virginal?
Rox' is that of a southern redneck raised in "Kali" who has seen the light and escaped to the nirvana of "I don't know" while remaining similarly pure.
Anyone ever see a photo of them together? They are the same, nonclimbing, troll ain't "he"?

Is that the time I drove off the freeway at 70, into the grass, woke up and just cruised full speed back into my lane? Nobody said a word at the time as I recall.
I could be wrong about that...
OOOOOOh yeah, that was you. We were on the I-5 about 50 miles north of Bakerfield.
Good times!
You prolly don't remember it being Watusi 'cause he was, like, 9 years old at the time, and looked a little different...

I have nothing better to do with my time than publicly criticize other people on teh.interwebs for climbing things that I will never have the strength or courage to even contemplate attempting, in a style that is completely harmless to the rock or other people, but nonetheless, a style which I find distasteful.

Man, the projection on this thread is high comedy.
Unemployable taterhead bum Rox, thinks a guy who does field work half the time and thus sleeps in the rig while on assignment is a bum. Roxy, you do understand that Wes works? Like a job? Like the thing that nobody will hire you for because you're a ridiculous long winded blowhard jerkoff? Yeah, that's you, engaged in projection.
And the delicate little flower Coz, who is in perhaps the gayest picture ever posted on the taco that wasn't from the Homoclimbtastic boys, the same Coz that brags about how many dudes he can squeeze in his hotub...is talking about someone being a poofter? Coz, lookup "projection" ya fairy.

the thing is big and real, pads no pads if you start up it and really commit to the climbing, down-climbing would be a nightmare.
many folks have eyed it for sure, myself included and it never registered to drag that many pads out, you need lots, the landing is BAD. my vision was limited, his was not, no better no worse.
i was present to watch alex, he was suprised by the quantity of pads that showed up. i brought him one as well.
someone will top-rope it and solo it with no pads.
someone may just walk up and climb it.
it was a great piece of climbing that i really enjoyed watching.
super inspiring and fun to be a part of.
nice work alex

So maybe it went like this: Alex mentioned that the landing was heinous and he wondered if a few friends wouldn't mind bringing their pads... Thinking maybe 4 or 5 would end up being used....
So what was he supposed to do when so many people who like him and want to support him, Na d who knows, maybe even a few girls thinking they can make a move on him afterwards and that pad might come in ha......umm, anyway, back to the story.
So what is he supposed to do? Say to himself "How many pads is too many? And how do I tell my friends who brought their pad along that, no, I think I'd better not have TOO many pads..."
Maybe the pad numbers that arrived was organic, spontaneous, and not something he even considered?

Are we talking Mondo pads or smaller ones? That can make a difference. Someone should do some math, and maybe come up with an algorithm based on different brands and models. It would probably make a cool App. You enter in your pads, a difficult rating, a landing rating and the height of the boulder, and it tells you how "manly" you are. I'm thinking that Honnold's efforts on Too Big to Flail would score well.

Regarding Russ' question...
Kevin Jorgeson addressed that question in an interview after he used a ton of pads on something. I can't recall the exact quote, but it was ~"I use as many pads as necessary to cover the landing zone. In this case, it still didn't make it safe."
...
Great post from Kevin Daniels. Words from someone who is out there doing it really cut right through all the B.S. on this thread...
