snyd, I sure hope you are trollin' 'cause you come across as a whinney little gym rat thats been climbing all of a year. Could you possibly have so little awareness of the history of our sport that you felt justified in bashin' Jello as an egotist?
So are ya trollin' or are ya a tool?
Oh yeah,
Kunt-ucky is a world class climbing destination. LOL

I guess that I'm a tool.
My name is Chris Snyder. I have climbed a little bit over the years. I have climbed with a lot of you all in Yosemite, Josh, and around Boulder.
Maybe you can't read. I didn't bash Jello. I was bashing this person known on this board as Oli. Do I have to kiss his a$$ because he just happens to be old and has done a few routes out west?
Have you been to Kentucky? I guess you have the idea that my state is filled with a stack bumkins smokin' 'baccy and bangin' family members. It is, heh. It also happens to contain one of the finest climbing areas on the planet. The place has 3400 miles of cliff line so I guess that there are bound to be a couple of good routes among the choss. No, there is no Elcap, no Cookie, no Donner Summit, and no Shelf Road (thank god). What we do have is nice collection of steep sport routes and a smattering of crack climbs to rival anything, anywhere.
It is a shame that you chose to put down my place of residence by equating it with a term often used by misogynists and retards when they run out of real things to say. You are cordially invited to stay in Boulder and climb your pathetic overbolted, chipped heaps up on Boulder Canyon.

..and don't forget Pink Pug Snyd, you ain't got no Pink Bug in Kentucky.
What we have here folks, is a (mostly) mock 4 way battle royal!
It's still a good thread Oli and a great topic. A bit of healthy competition, leavened with respect and spiced with the requisite humor: this behavior will always attend the invested efforts of (mostly) like-minded groups seeking to push standards. Sometimes it gets out of hand...

Prozac, Snyd, get your doc to up your dosage. Heh heh.
Or just drink a couple glasses of wine...
...okay,okay, a bottle then.
EDIT
Oh my gawd, that guy's got his fingers in her crack (last photo). That's not his sister is it?
Rivalry - Hatfields and McCoys. I'd join the McCoy side, since they were Irish (so to speak) but the Hatfields were from West Virginia like my mom, so I am torn between the sides - McCoys/Snyd on the Kentucky side, or Hatfields/'rest of thread' on the other (West Virginai) side.
Cool pix Snyd, I'll have to climb there some day - West Virginia as well.

Snyd:
Actually Abe Lincoln was born in Kentucky. In the research for this missive would you believe I came on a version of a story I had never heard about Lincoln? Everyone knows of his wrestling match with Jack Armstrong, a member of the Clary’s Grove Boys. Abe had moved into their hood so he got to wrestle their leader, Jack Armstrong. The story says after Lincoln won the gang backed him up against the (log) wall and were all set to do him in, until Jack told them to back off. He said Lincoln was a good man, had fought fair, and as far as he was concerned was now a member of Clary’s Grove. Lincoln was that way with people. People need space in which to live and to be themselves, so he gave them this. When it came time to be president, he named his bitterest rivals and extremely powerful people to his cabinet. Before the end, to a man each of those people were willing to do absolutely anything Abe needed done. By giving them space Abe had brought their immense talents to the defense of the Union. Quite amazing, but that is the only thing you have to give up in order to get people to help you.
I am not a betting person, but I’ll make you a bet. Using Abe’s technique I’ll bet you could get this Oli guy, whoever he is, to be your friend.

My apologies snyd I meant no long term disrespect. I have been to Kentucky, some of my best friends are Kentuckians, even a few distant cousins are Kentuckians. It's a beautiful state.
I was just a bit put off by your apparent disregard for the historic place held by both jello (Jeff Lowe) and oli (Pat Ament). The dudes know what of they speak or in this case blog.
By the way the pics look great. Except for all those pre-hung sissy draws. Cheers and smile I was funnin'.

John, don't you know that Oli is Pat Ament?
EDIT
If there are any southern folk on this thread, please don't read the following joke, as you might be offended (that's meant to be a disclaimer).
Why are the fastest women runners from the south?
They had to be growing up in order to outrun their father and brothers.

Could it be that there are rivalries between generations?
Perhaps rivalry is not the correct term in this case.

Pat:
Peter was quite right when he said I am not very effective, but I am having little success at changing. Anyway that post was too leaden even for me so I had to put some sort of twist in it at the end.
A question about Ireland. Even in the rural areas in the US life is now generally frantic. Does it still feel peaceful at least in the rural areas of Ireland?
The pubs there all have sessions going, right? On a session site I ran into a neat story. After this band had been playing for an hour straight, one of the customers asked if they knew another tune.

It's cool man. We all have a common love here.
Sometimes I wonder about Mr. Ament's motivations.
It is telling that one of the most memorable Ament quotes is: "Climbers disdain me and take shots at me but not as cheap as mine at them."

Rubidoux vs. Woodson?
I went to Rubidoux once. Hiking boots, rope, unreplaceable
poncho etc. were all stolen.
Went to Woodson once. Superb day, incredible quality of climbs.
Can anybody be more objective than this?

Oli writes: Eldorado prancers with "no pull?" That has to be one of the more ridiculous things I've read here of late. Yes Skip was brilliant but only one of VERY MANY who could pull plenty hard,
Oli, with all due respect... Either you Colorado guys were keeping your best secret weapons cloistered away in some lycra and wheatgrass festooned training facility, or the best talent you sent over to Cali was just never that good from the get go. The names listed, while very good climbers, never really had the goods when it came right down to hard pulling. I once saw "Ghengis" Karn *almost* pull pretty darn hard out in Hueco one year, but then ended up quite flaccid right at the moment of actual hard-ness. I think Holloway pulled hard, but he was possibly from Santa Cruz or Palm Springs..... shabby effort trying to claim him as one of Colorados finest.....
When we sent our boys out (Bachar, Long, McClenahan), they devoured local testpieces all over the country whilst living in a Toyota Corolla and eating nothing more than rice cakes and local egos. Them boys could pull on any terrain, at a top notch standard, and had zero need for a potato in their pants or any other shenanigans.
