Thought I'd post this over here too..... it seemed to fit.
* NEWS FLASH * Climbing News reported today that a group calling it's self "5.9 Them All" is planning to place artificial climbing holds over the entire mass of El Capitan, a granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, CA.
In addition, the group will place protection bolts and hangers in proximity to these new holds at intervals of not less than 8 feet, nor more than 12 feet.
In a related story, the "American Line & Rope Co." of St Louis, MO., is producing 6,300' 11m ropes to facilitate top roping the new climbing structure.
More News and comment forthcoming......

Donnie,
You're lucky that you don't have to work, but leeching off of your parents won't last long. Sooner or later you'll be hauling your candy ass out into the real world. Here is an employment idea for when you get out on your own, but first, go back and finish high school (remember, you have to do this BEFORE you search for a job.) You could work for Mick Ryan at Rockfax.com... where you guys could spoon together on your crash pads, eating veggies and rice cakes, wearing your pink paisley lycra tights (wall climbers can't wear tights because of their large sacs.) Mick could try to teach you proper grammar and spelling! You could also go back to the powder room and train extra hard until you can send hard 5.14s. THEN, you'll get sponsored. So get back to work, dumb ass!

HEY, AIR HEAD! Dont get upset because i´m a better climber than u... And for your information i allready have a sponsor, my local climbershop gives me free chalk already! Thanks for the tip - i will call this mick doode. He seems like a guy that knows what the hell his doing. Dont even trie that spooning thing with me, man! Wallclimbers ARE fags and they spoon every night on those LAME walls like that stupid Le Cup or whatever u call it, i think wallclimbing is only an excuse to fag-around where none can see you! I really dont have time i am working a new proj.

You wouldn't have the guts to say that to the face of a wall climber, 'cause we'd bash your nuts with a peg hammer faster than you could say ouch! Walls logistics are too confusing for your simple mind Donnie. Besides, there are lots of pitches and I understand you don't count that high ( you'd get stuck, pixie dick - some spoon'n homo wall climber would have to pluck you to safety ). Stay close to the ground near your mothers behind, will ya?

Walls are LAME, and u know what! Y are so busy thinking of all that logistic crap that u forget about the climbingthing doode! I only keep climbibg in my brain so i can focus on what really matters, FREEclimbing. But y fags are so busy thinking about placing gear instead of doing hard,hard moves and clip nice bolts! And if there is no holds big enough it´s really good to place/drill a artifically hold right on the wall, just like LEO H did on Le Cup... There was some doode chipping holds in the nose of Le Cup too, so i guess many climbers understands what matters... Maybe the truth is that u are not good enough i the gym mr.satan so y hide away on some stupid wall where y can fag around i the shadows.!

Might I remind you that one of the greatest alpine climbers in the world was called Don. (Check out Dougal Haston's book of don whillans sucking cigar whilst Dougal's sucking oxygen)I reckon that none of you've got beards and thats whats wrong with you. Did you know that there's a 50% illiteracy rate in the states. No wonder nobody can f*#king spell over there...

Hi Don
I hope that you understand the meaning of climbing without treat everybody like a trash, because everybody has the choice to choose what they want to practice in their own, you live in a free country so, try to have peace yourself. There is a lot of anger in your heart. If you do not feel comfortable with climbing, it's ok. Give it up! Look for other thing that you like , and the most important thing be happy!!:), and try to talk without bad words, be smart to have a serious forum about climbing. I think your are in the wrong place..and really be careful with the feelings that you have in your heart, it will be worst if you keep those bad feelings inside of you, believe me, you are not a climber. To be a climber, you born to do this , you feel the passion in your veins, and you love this forever and ever. So, you do not have a clue what is this. You will find good friends in this place, because we love climbing. We breath love for this sport and for everything, we learned the feeling with the time. Good Luck!

Damn. I thought that the meaning of climbing was that it gives you an excuse to rag on everyone who climbs different/softer stuff than you do. Clearly I've been doing it wrong.
Oh well, back out there to give it another try ...

Come back Paco! We miss you Donnie!
And let's get one thing straight, climbing and climbing forums are entirely different things. So let's have a little less respect and a little more smack.

Donny is right, trad. climbing is lame. We should all go sport climbing from now on. There's nothing finer then toproping the moves on a tendon popping 70' route from bolt to bolt. I just love never reaching the top of a cliff and being surrounded by bolt loving morons when I go climbing. Gyms are especialy cool because then I never have to go outside to pull on crimpy holds and there's no cracks there so I don't have to have any tecnique to impress the ladies. I don't break my nails in the gym either, Donny, don't you like that part too? Besides, all I want to do is an on sight flash with a hang or two to get the pink point and a no beta flash of the 5.14c/d c4+fx-byw4 so i can spray on supertopo.com! I want to be just like Donny when I grow up!Oh, god please let me be rad like Donny!

Sport climbing is RAD! consider the following:
Nothing beats the exhilaration of topping out after a long, committing, 75 foot marathon, running it out between fixed A1 bolts (shiny homing beacons), a whopping eight feet apart! As an added plus, it hones your route finding skills.
FINAL ANSWER, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN, PEACE. OUT.
