Tarbuster,
it sounds like trad in CA is, to this day different than trad in WY. This is related to what Jaybro expounded upon Climbing [rules] is local.
Rgold has me searching my feelings for what are our [WY sport rules]rules implied and stated.
Climbing is about fun and to some additionally the redpoint.
We honor a reasonable timeframe for people to complete their efforts.
We do not tolerate destruction of our efforts.
If you don't like the stick clip you can add a bolt and then have your girlfriend stand on your shoulders and clip it. We have more concern about starting ground fall safety than trad.
etc...

My muscles vs. your brain, Bicth.
A sanctioned ten-round match.

Ed,
Bitch Muscle must be trad, certainly it's not PC. Anne went into a bitch fit when she heard this name,"It has to be about a dog, what else could it be?"
My reply,"A lot of my route names are meant to have double entendre, go figure it out."
We have redone some of these clips since Freddie told us the government rules for starting sport climbs in Calimnose. I hope it is better next time.

WyoRockMan,
For that Devil you can refine it more than trad -- Tower Trad. Freddie, Jaybro and I have invited the Kernel to other places and he will not budge. Upon asking him to visit other places he then takes me onto his deck and graciously rolls a hand gesture towards the Tower and asks,"What else do I need?" And I reply, "A touch of travel like you use to do but with a female sport climber"

ED,
you must have pulled it off for the safety of others. Usually there is an equally good hold at its base.
Since you were there we have determined that most of the rock is shattered cemented dolomitic marble, not the quartzite it looks like. You may not do (meta)sedimentary rocks much?

Jaybro,

I cannot dispute what you thought but I told Kevin Chamberlin (metamorph geo at UW) about how I found quartzite nearby that looked just like the dolomitic marble on the wall. His reply, "In some instances you need some acid to tell what you have." At the time of this chat we had already used the acid. The similar insitu quartzite is nearby and also is marble (limestone). It fizzed away very fast compared with the dolimitic marble.
For the Kernal's touch of travel I meant to some climbing area.

A tradmobile, packed to the gills with future hippie has-been trad climbers. (Actually, the two visible future hippie has-beens are math and physics PhD's, so something might have been gained on the road to has-been-ery.)
Yet another hippie has-been trad climber doddering up a Red Rock moderate.
The ol' Snake Dike shuffle BITD
Washed-up hippie has-been trad climber trying desperately but with little success to grasp the modern forms of climbing

Yes, the IH Scout shot was taken in RMNP. The driver is Fred Pfahler, who besides me only Pat Ament would know. The passenger is Steve Derenzo, who no one here knows except perhaps improbably Ed? I think Steve works (or worked) at Los Alamos.

Jaybro,
Neil doesn't remember whether anything broke off with him. Is he a hippie turned trad climber?

What is Neil? Good question!
....is he a trad climber? Or more so? I don't know. I've seen him equal amounts of time at 4 stories and Vedauwoo. All I really know is I want him to meet Blitzo, so we can have the Bloot and the Galoot!
