The film is still in the works, although I think the focus is changing a bit... I'm not sure, I'm not that much of a film guy.

Anyway, it was awesome to have met Mark and Richard and tell them first hand of what I thought about WOS.

The bottom line is: Don't go up there if you're not ready to take a ton of falls.

Cheers!

Wow, super cool stuff, great ending to a lot of drama.
Much respect to you guys for getting up there and getting some facts straightened out and clearing up some mis-conceptions.

Yep, most of the empires have no cloths.

Deuce...I’ve always had respect for you and your ethics. But for years I let unclimbed routes go because I couldn’t see a way to connect the “natural” features without drilling. Then I came across drilled holes on your routes. Some in Zion have fixed beaks in them, I guess the idea being that removing the beaks would destroy the holes. All this is respectable. But unless you are Rienhold Messner and have never drilled a bolt, it’s being a hypocrite and playing rock good to speak of “natural”, “non-enhanced” and ethics.

Much, much respect and kudos to Pass the Pitons Peter. I‘ve been out of climbing for a while and just now discovering your achievements. Kudos for being fun, not having an ego that keeps you from seeking the truth, and for speaking the truth when you find it.

Did I miss a thread (I still have not read them all) where the other anonymous people that treated or spoke poorly of the WOS FA team apologize, or at the very least grow some balls (or virginas) and acknowledge their deeds (besides Steve). For something you are (or were) so passionate about protesting for so long you are a bunch of pussies when it comes to telling who you are.

Steve, I can see something positive in all this. In coming forth and being truthful, you set an example for the newer generation of climbers. I’m sure they will do stupid things when they are young too. But hopefully they won’t let too many years go by before they go, hey you know what, I’m going to do something cool, do like Steve did and make it good.

Bump to give Ammon and Kait congrats on the "Honorable Mention" in the Climbing Mag "Golden Piton Awards" for this year.

They'll be queuing up now...

Sorry to bum everybody out by putting a WOS thread back at the top of the forum but:

Did anybody ever get their movie they ordered? Still looking for mine but maybe the postman tossed it in the trash to save time on his delivery route. It happens (you know who you are).

Anyways, for those who got what they ordered: Was the movie good?

But, Mighty, is it a wall climb or a slab climb?

I think you're getting your facts mixed up, haa haa!

Sorry to bum everybody out by putting a WOS thread back at the top of the forum but:

Really? Why would anyone get bummed out? It's been said a THOUSAND times, if you're not interested... don't click! At least this is a climbing thread, ha ha.

I don't think the film is out yet. Jeff is still doing interviews from what I understand.

Me too! Can't wait for the film!

It never really ends, it's one of the Mobius Strips of our community - just the most recent "big" one.

There is this one:

Countered by this one:

http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1725375/Cerro-Torre-A-Mountain-Consecrated-The-Resurrection-of-th

Can't forget about this one!

http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/566859/Doug-Robinson-Sean-Jones-rap-bolt-South-face-of-Half-Dome


Feel free to add to the list.

I still can't figure out why we, as climbers, are arguing about politics, religion, aliens and conspiracies when there is so much fodder in our localized community.

Bump your favorite internet climber wrangle!

can not leave out this "gem"

http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/73572/1977-Airplane-Crash-in-Yosemite

however I think this one has run its course, until the book comes out.

No way I am bumping it!

I thought that picture, with that smile, puts some of this into perspective, about how silly this can get and how much we're really all in it together.
