only one good bolted route Renn? clearly you haven't been to rumney enough. I know you love the trad but you can't deny that they have some awesome routes at rumney. Unless you just can't hack it on the overhangs ;)
future shock is awesome.. i need to lead that (and that is saying something cuz i hate slab but TR'd it once and think FS is sweet)

At Rumney I spent 4 days in 05 and found that "classic" 10a at Main cliff was fun and 10d to the right of 10a (10d had pitons in it)
I guess my list just went up to 3.

so you did Underdog and Know Ethics.. Did you do anything at Waimea.. Bonsai..? Although i think there are good things in all the grades it tends to get better above .10. Millenium falcon at main cliff would be good for you.
anyway. people like what they like.. hard to change that really. I personally don't enjoy whitehorse or cathedral but have alot of fun at rumney and the gunks.

Gunks is fantastic, as we all know.
Whitehorse I like a lot, but I like slab a lot in general, you can imagine how happy I am to have slab an hour away instead of 13 ( that's how long it took me to drive to NH from Ontario)
Sorry I don't remember other spurt routes, for some reason I never do, but we can talk about Gunks if you would like.
Have you done Ape Call ?

Blackberries muthafukkin rock, buddy. Raspberries can't hold a candle to wild blackberries. Never have, never will.
Now then... STFU, berry n00b!

I know, they are too common- like, nothing special occasion about them. Same with strawberries, though it would rock when we would pick them and my mum would make jam with giant bits of berry in them, like whole strawberries and stuff. Couldn't have a sammich, had to be on one slice- the bits were just too big.
I like all berries, but sometimes I have a bit of a craving for Halle Berry in particular... then I remember she's technically old enough to be my mom and the craving subsides.
I think a real man should be able to enjoy any jam on some level. Only assholes eat marmalade though.
This thread started off pretty stupid, but I feel like we're really making progress in advancing the development sport climbing now.

Not enough to make jam out of, though.
Anyways, Jam= man, marmalade=asshole, how about marmite and vegemite?

I said that a real man should enjoy any jam. I don't recall saying anywhere that sport climbers were real men.

I've had Marmite, and I don't mind it. I know they have vegemite elsewhere, but I've only met Australians that eat it. I don't wanna say anything bad about Australians because they seem like they're messed up enough already (I've seen Crocodile Dundee; I know all I need to know).

It's an axiom. Therefore there is no proof. See my sig.

"Grovelling."

I thought it was "thrutching". Or "bleeding".
