"So you gonna stop getting all that BD gear if one of them is sponsored by them?"
Stopped buying BD gear years ago. That shite is shyte...if BD sponsors such eco-terrorists, they've only reinforced my negative impression of BD. I'll be sure to tell my friends & clients, too.
"Personally, I never gave a sh#t who is sponsored by which brand. If I need a product and it is a superior product, I buy it."
True selfish Uh-merri-kin, shortsighted opportunism! WalMart, REI, BD...if it works for my interests, what me worry?

I will look forward to hearing FACTS about what happened and IF Joe and Ethan were involved. If they are involved, then +1000 Kos. And, FWIW, I too am a part of the core market for climbing gear.

Of course, Ken nails it. The FA protagonist denied the cut...

What is sad is that they most likely had no idea how old the tree was.
Thread Drift: I remember the story of the folks who cut down a bristle cone to see how old those trees were.
"Whoa, that sucker sprouted way before JC walked!!!"
Later, when they figured out how to do core samples, they found the tree they cut was the oldest in the bunch...

Been a while since you all went running off like lunatics on an internet lynching. The villagers with pitchforks are massing. I'm predicting at least 200 pages of internet climber butthurt including accusations that these dudes probably also shot the Ecuadorian climber in Ten Sleep and are closet Nazi's. Later we will learn that it was just another planned tree cut by the Feds, like the one in Yosemite where there were pages of butthurt on Supertopo over someone trimming a few branches off a trail, followed up a week later by an actual plan from the National Park Service to cut an estimated 1,000 trees.
Popcorn please.

Hey Couchy, don't you have some anit-Obama vitriol to spew somewhere? No time for popcorn; you need to get busy making the world safe by exposing the evils of our black, commie, non-citizen president.

I'm surprised you're able to even type replies on here, how do you grab the webbing and type at the same time?
Wait, you just clip your PAS and hang, then type? Nice! Hey Couchy, don't you have some anit-Obama vitriol to spew somewhere?

Making fun of banjo players. I think. Of course, as a banjo player, I'm not sure if I should be offended or not. Probably?

If a tree falls off a cliff & nobody is around except 2 sponsored climbers, did they really cut it down? Or something like that.
I'm never buying a BD cam again!!
Oh what's that??
Oh really? These guys don't even own cams? Uhhhhh ok.
