^^^ I think that's what Steve would call them.
At least HE got my last name right.

Oh. Okay. Bagging on my style (or, apparently, lack thereof) is the level of "discussion."
I think early on I bagged on Sloans terrible social tact. You too have terrible social tact. I might, too, but I think I'll try not to be thin-skinned about it.
At least HE got my last name right.
Low-T can cause one to be thin-skinned, I find.

Yeah. I'm getting older now. That's probably the problem.
Another problem is the misunderstanding of intent in posts. What is intended as a joke is not always received that way.
The biggest mistake in communication is the belief that it's happening at all.

Do you guys realize how little the opinion of SuperTopo forum members matter in the real live world of Yosemite climbing?
So, so, so little.
ST is very much considered a joke in The Valley.

COnfucius say: Valley considered joke in many subtribes.
(Honest sentiment here: no disrespect to you Mr. Hudon, nor to those who hold Yos sacred).

Mark, your opinion and the opinions of at least 25 people I respect have sounded off on ST and this thread alone. All spend a lot of time in the valley.
Slander at the bridge is all that matters, check.

The art of how to make a monumental ass out of oneself, certainly is practiced to perfection by a few real life Yosemite climbers. Sh#t, they are only human after all.

Hey
I may just jump ship,
Can you imagine
The world these kids get to live in
No risk of the gear blowing out
Super light stuff to take with if you need it
Then a zombie Viking hero who's done all the work
To go romp up stone and the smoke it glows in the dark

Actually...It is just the regular posters that people in the Valley (probably on the rest of the planet too) think are a joke.

This part of the thread looks like nothing so much as a bunch of 12-year-olds desperately trying to define and enforce in-groups and out-groups.

If you pussies are too afraid to organize a beatdown I can call Vinnie.
He's been a little slow lately and he kinda owes me so I can negotiate
a good rate for his services...

If Sloan is a Valley local, then who are the real fools?
From here, looks like the "locals" are too lazy to realize that someone is running around numbing down their rich history.
Yeah, make it so the Kor Roof can be climbed without a cheater stick by anybody 5' 7", Great Idea!
Looks like Sloan deleted his incriminating post where he said that everybody makes mistakes, and all you need to do is chop his 3/8" bolts if you don't like them, and move them to where it makes it easier for you to get up the root.
Or is that woot?

Style doesn't matter any more. Climbing is just for getting into a good position to use your selfie stick to post pictures on FacePlant. Hard climbing is damn inconvenient.
Long live the via ferrata!
