Yep, that's me. 100% Maori and mean as hell. Keeping the weight on as Donini and I have a couple tag team matches coming up soon.

Coz, I'm an idiot and a moron for using those words in reference to you- you are neither. Let's just continue to disagree in a more collegial way.
Your on Guido- Piton Ron gets to referee.

I need one of those striped T shirts.

If I wear this one Ammon would just try to steal it.

I tried Coz but clearly you are not emotionally up to backing off and considering other sides of an issue. As for the tough guy talk, don't underestimate me son.

Good grief Coz

Lay off of Jim.

For as long as I've ever known Jim I always have the highest and utmost respect for him.

And the respect has nothing to do with climbing either .....

pretty sad if some of the collateral damage from this pos thread is the two of you going at it.

ironic, too, because from what i know, the two of you have both been pretty invested in reaching out.

donini was one of the old farts at the aac trying to bring in the younger tigers.

and i've seen coz working with the current gen of gym stars.

My last word. Coz, my comments have been about, what I consider, the drama queen quality in this thread. I have not commented once on the climbing involved. I used the words idiot and moron when I saw your ad hominen comments. I apologized for those terms which seem mild for this thread. Your vitriolic response was unexpected.

edit. The fact that I don't think the climbing world's sun rises and sets on el cap is my own opinion which you dont share- so be it.

Laughed out loud at your apology, Coz! Uh-oh, Jim promised his last word. Let's see if he keeps it. ;)

if that old eyetalian f*#ker had done nothing after latok, that would've been enough.

all the way up and then all the way down as a team of basically unknowns at a point in which "alpine-style" was just coming into view. i have a hard time thinking of that team as "media darlings." not a lot of pub for any of those folks. hard to name a less appreciated crew, outside of a few circles. and one of the most important climbs of that era.

my guess is that most of the st crowd didnt know donini when he started posting here except as a marginal, old-skool yos name.

you two need to get a room or a rope.

what little contact ive had with you both makes me think you guys are a lot alike.

I noticed in this photo that Ammon M. is wearing elbow pads.
Can't say as I've ever seen THAT before.
Presumably, gear for "technical" slab climbing ... er, slab "wipe outs".

COOL!! Is all I gotta say about that!

You'll have to read his story, sac - he tells it all. It's a great story, you're gonna love it, and it's going to sell a ton of magazines. Proud ascent!

And Ammon ain't done yet. Wait'll you see what he's up to next, if not now - he's in a whole new world. YAAAARRRR!!

jebzuz cripes, coz is a total dickwad!

oh wait-
did i just type that or was my account hacked?

not to worry coz,
as i have never done an el cap FA, you therefor need not worry that in my opinion, you are indeed (at least acting like?) a drama queen and an idiot, and a dickwad too- see how convenient that is? i just love having no street cred...

get over yourself already, here online you are just another prick, same as everyone else, or hadn't you figured that out yet?

EDIT
oh and btw-
per your earlier post:

You can attack me anyway you like Jim, there is no right or wrong on this forum, only guys pretending to be something their not.

...

I suggest if you want to call me an idiot and a moron you do it to my face, tough guy.

their = possessive modifier
they're = contraction of they & are

if you wanna be told your schmart, try not to mess the easy stuff up!

*Hugs Matt and Jim and Coz*

Of course, as a direct result of this thread, I've joined my college wall climbing organization, so maybe some good has come of it all as well. Guess we'll see if I can still do this stuff at my age, hm?
