What, Mimi hasn't said a thing on the subject in 9 days, when was the last time that happened?
I like Pete's response to Ammon's request that he stand down: "Hey, bust off, I've got a contract."

Mostly because I'm a damn good writer
Nothing like a little humility about ones skill set eh?

So now he's blaming Duane Raligh?
WTF, his speculation is as valuable as anyone else's, who hasn't done the route.
Was that botched, biased, strawmanning 'press release' of his an example of his skills as "a damn good writer"?
No wonder the mags are going out of business.

I think what Ammon is really trying to say nice is:
SHUT THE F*#K UP PETE!!!
You were not there, and years prior you top roped Ammon's rope and couldn't even figure out pitches 1 and 2.
Ammon did the entire route on his own merit. The Canadian ASSassin is once again riding on the coat tails of someone else's achievements.
I ran into both Ammon and Kait prior to leaving for the wall, and as Ammon said "I'm going to give it everything I got!!!" He did that and more.
F*#k Yeah Ammon and Kait. Congrats!!!!.
If R&I or anyone wants Poor Pete's advice on WOS you might as well ask him for advice on girls and relationships. Any of the above topics PtPP knows jack sh#t about.
R&I are assclowns to ask Pete for an article when the real one to ask is Ammon and Kait, Mark and Richard.
Period.

Ron, is that a vulture? I suppose the topic does smell a bit like carrion!

Richard and Mark's hurt feelings= zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
PTPP's failed attempt to climb WOS= zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
slab aid routes= zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Mimi's delusional rants= yawn, but more entertaining
PTPP's biased R&I "update"= zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Those jackasses will publish anything if they will print that garbage.
Ammon and Kates ascent and write-up= finally, something worth reading about WOS!

Yup...which of the above would entice me to buy a magazine? Only Ammon & Kait's account.
Which would I read for free on the internet? Uh, I'll read just about anything for free on the internet til a flick of the trackpad takes me to something better.

Duane also asked me to write the press release immediately in order to provide advance publicity for the upcoming article.
I actually thought it was a good thing from the get go, as well as this thread, to keep the buzz going for Ammon and Kait... especially in regards to the article I assume they're going to write about their ascent.
Even though (to me) Pete's writings do seem to have a hint of bias in them... what is the that old saying?... "There's no such thing as bad press." I'd like to see this fire staying stoked for Ammon and Kait.

I have been involved with Wings of Steel since 2005 when I was one of the first to give Mark and Richard the benefit of the doubt, 3)I have continued my research over the years and am extemely well-versed 4) Mostly because I'm a damn good writer.
Wow. Just...wow. Self-delusion run rampant. Countdown to "my friends the Hubers", "I gave lessons to Tomaz Humar", and 37 page "me me me" reports that fail to mention drilling and almost killing parners due to sheer ineptitude in 5, 4, 3, 2....

I thought of being an anonymous shitter for the SA. but the endless constipation made me back out of the arrangement I had with locker. He promised a good enema would do the trick. I still declined.

There has to be a good way to just filter out the Canadian Assassin's posts...

I hope Ammon and Kait don't say boo on this site. It's painfully obvious mostly Bozo's reply to WOS threads. And i did say mostly not all.

I suppose the topic does smell a bit like carrion!
Carrion, my wayward son,
There'll be peace when Ammon writes,
lay this weary thread to rest,
don't you scream no more...
Once they rose above the valley of confusion,
they began to get a glimpse of the illusion,
Kait was soaring every higher,
But Pete stooped too low.
Though his hooks wouldn't stick he still wouldn't listen
Though Ammond said back off, he still was a mad man,
I hear Mimi shouting even when I'm dreaming
I can still hear Steve say:
Masquerading as men without reason
their charade the event of treason
And tho he claims to be a wise man, well
it surely means we don't know sh#t
On a stormy sea of internet collusion
Tossed about like a dump on the ropes
Pete sets a course for minor fortune
Only to hear Ammon say
Backoff you carrion hoser
Get a grip, no more worthless releases!
Your attempts light your vanity
But surely the third waits for you.
Carrion, my wayward son,
There'll be peace when Ammon writes,
lay this weary thread to rest,
don't you scream no more...

I've said it before but I'm really starting to believe that a lot of climbers are OCD.

Raleigh belongs in this thread, he's a chiseling fool. Not to mention the bizarro world "lets not climb so clean" editorial circa '98 or so.

News is news, Editors are mostly whores and storys belong to those who beat the deadline with the best dirt. We can choose which storys we want to read and which ones we will believe but we have little to no control over what will get published and by whome.......
