//Lots of us are reduced to Average Joe/Weekend Warrior status//
Or further down or just started out and stayed there or never have seen the elephant or looked hard for one.
It takes all kinds to make up the readership on this website.
Why insist on "real climbers" being the major beneficiaries of the info, stories, and laughs herein? Anyone can stay in Camp 4, IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO.
"They got that right. They sure got that right."-L.S.
I smell exclusionary, elitist tendencies I do not appreciate in the slightest degree.
Maybe I have a Minnesota viewpoint, a typical PHC outlook, but this site is "good enough" as it is; but things need to change or they stale, so this is moot.

ElCap Pics is the best TR and it is on another site, the rest is a monkey on a rock with a rope, so we need the goofy filler material to keep us awake,
can you imagine a Nascar forum with a guy in a car?
the Tioga Pass thread is useful, and the data base of route beta,

Well it's time to give this one a nudge again.
For a while there, almost a month, I was seeing about 90% climbing content on the front page. Looked awesome. But now it's back to the dredges again. Let's bump it up!

It takes me very little time to check the current posts to see if someone has posted a climbing related thread. If so I will read that one. 99% of the posts are junk! I don't read them and I wonder about the people who do. Don't they have better things to do than read the crap posted on ST? Yes, keep the climbing posts on the first page. And Steve keep posting!

Since this is climbing related; I thought that I would mention that
Joe Kelsey's new and revised guide to the Wind River Range just came out a few days ago; published by Falcon. Many new routes published with color photo's.

Great idea Mr Donini,
Funny that Steve Grossman was asked to index his threads, as my first idea on primo climbing content bumpage was: That's easy, I'll just search the site for Steve Grossman's threads.

hey there say, donini...
good team-helper bump, :)
i used to try to go to all the trips and help and also
tried to get lots of the small-reply threads...
however, since dial up has gotten so hard to deal with this last two
years, i usually just catch the ones where someone needs encouragement
and let the others wait... seems i never get back to them, to bump
them up though, these days... :(
i ENJOY seeing the small post, get bump for others to see, as, so many
nice replies or shares end up making those minors into majors, then :)
like to bump when i see new folks post, too...
hope we can all keep this up...
very sorry i have had to let so many thread go by,
this dial up and my stamina just can't do what we used to, :(
here's to your helping the taco:
(well, the picture i was going to put, just timed out)
:))
*was going to be the trophy, :)
but will post, as is, :)

Eighteen out of 30 off-topic this AM. I like a good OT thread myself, when it's a community building thread about stuff that the climbers here do (like the building thread), but the ones that are just recycling the day's news, or pseudo news, are crowding out the climbing. But I'm guilty myself of contributing to those threads sometime so it's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.
Now I'm off to climb so no time to bump great trip reports...
