nobody's perfect
Easiest excuse ever.
How many of you Sloan supporters have ever climbed a route that has been "Sloaned" and seen the needless
drilling etc first hand?
I have.
It's the people that do actually climb those routes, that actually care about the character of the climbs.
So I understand why some of you wouldn't care.

it's not like he put a road block sign up or anything. i mean, the original route is still there, and all you have to do is take a step in THAT direction instead of a step in his. if you can walk, you can do it!
plus, any variation of any route is technically a new route. you just have to climb someone else's to get to it. he doesn't need to have a reason. just like kor didn't have to have a reason.

One who understands what real adventure is can find it even trapped in an iron lung.
It's not outside of you .........

There is only "fake" adventure when you can see the road from your bivy and the rescue helicopter is a bullhorn away. Yeah - because climbing 4th class with a some snow on it is so much more badass. Nice daypack.
Shack - the list of these endlessly drilled routes. Thanks.
What a chickenhouse.

Werner, you mean the real adventure is internal like a head full of powerful psychadelics??

Plenty, these range in appropriateness, but im sure the story of what happened to your face in this picture is more interesting matt. Motorcyle accident without a helmet or what?
What do you want to hear about?
