What's wrong with getting your ass kicked by Brits anyway?
First of all, Survival, I just got back from Terrapin Station. Second of all, I'm having some regrets as to bringing this whole thing up inasmuch as the Brits must already be feeling pretty downtrodden with their World Cup effort and all. Maybe we should throw them a bone. Just tell them that they're the best wide crack climbers in the world and be done with it.

eeyonkee, you gotta tell me next time you're headed to Terrapin Station!
There's nothing worse than missing a trip out there, to the perimeter....
Secondly, I too tip my hat to those guys. They had the motivation, period.
They won't be crawling through my DNA in those awful things, HA!!!

maybe eeyonkee is lamenting his efficacy as being a "wide mentor" vis-a-vis the success of his legacy community vs. Stevie Haston... who seemed to have been a bit more successful with his...
dude, get over it... you spawned a country of complacent prancers... just practice your limp wrist hip sway and get a pair of manpris
you might also consider a full body wax job... jus sayin'

In the spirit of international relations lets offer to help them with that footy-kicky thing they like so much. Looks like we're getting it figured out.
In return they can help us improve our OW technique.

eeyonkee, vs Stevie.
Its like The Ultimate OW Series!
So it's like a consolation match, for third place, to see who gets to take on the Brits?

First of all Ed, I'm way past lamenting. So far, that I'm not sure where I am, exactly. Post lamenting, in any case.
So, I just got a haircut and was confiding to my barber that I have the post-world cup blues. I mean, I looked forward to those great games every day it seems for a month. I guess my competitive juices were sensitized or something. Could be that a good night's sleep is all I need. I mean, I like the Beatles, Monte Python, James Bond, and good food and dental hygiene as much as the next guy.

it's all gone to 'ell
it's actually embarrassing...the whole tradgoodol days BS vs Sport nubes.
while most of these new school posers couldn't climb out their ownass even w/ supertopos, stickclippers, crashpads, halfsizeoffsetcolorcoded million dollar racks to 10" ( for the "optional wide" 5.6R 2nd pitch) and a team of 8 (jenafra couldn't make it) from their BS Daddy $$$$ SanJose start up.
every holy grail of the our generation from hardgrit to big walls to alpine has
been bettered by people who learned to climb in a gym.
did you see Wide Boyz?....I don't think they'd have much issue w/ owl roof or cream
did you see that Team America Hrdgritsh#t?....
Honnald sharma caldwell ondra steck (not Al) megos woods BLAHBLAHF*#KINGBLAH!!!!!!
what about the british smurf chick.....
I feel old andcreepy watching her......I mean....she is 18 right?
so back to the question "what ARE we going to do?"
WHAT?
I'll tell ya what all us bi'ter ol'guys do.
we talk smack on this forum.
What else is there?
