I'm glad you asked because while I've wondered about it myself in the past it took writing a thoughtful reply for me to really understand what was going on there. Too many people replying to the facebook post, and I didn't want to continue the conversation there. I think it boils down to the aggressiveness of women. I see a lot of ladies replying to your thread saying they can't find a mentor. Guys either actively seek out a mentor or say fuck it, buy their own drill and just go at 'er. Lena, you were talking about the ergonomics of drilling as a woman: you should give it a go sometime because the only thing you really have to do one handed is hold the drill while you're drilling. There's a lot of rigging involved when you're bolting routes, and part of that is how you've slug your drill and how well you can holster it when you're not drilling. Trust me, you aren't trying to change bits or anything like that one handed. If you saw my second post, I would like to. Theoretically -- at some point in the future. The hassle of a drill is a minor point to me personally. It doesn't stop me from putting up routes at the gym, and it wouldn't stop me from bolting, if I really wanted to bolt. What is stopping me right now is time, primarily. If i have two weekends a month to climb, I want to climb, and not bolt during prime weather season. And when the weather is NOT prime for climbing, it is prime for plenty of other things that don't require me to drive 7 hours one way. Realistically, I don't see it happening in the next 8 years or so. I see no benefit to me personally, other than it is a skill, and learning is good. If I had nothing to climb, I would be more likely to bolt. Even if I had 2 months off right now, or even a year, I would be climbing, and traveling, and not bolting. It would have to be a long-term multi-year living-near-the-crag arrangement before I would consider it. On a related note, camhat, you know how Banz used to bolt a lot, but not anymore? While there may be more than one reason why he stopped, the local climber-politics being one, his break-through in terms of climbing difficulty has coincided with a decrease in his bolting. And he himself has said to me that he used to bolt stuff for him to climb, but now there are so many new routes for him to climb that bolting looks less appealing. (And he has a girlfriend to spend time with, when he is not climbing) Also, on a related subject, there was enough controversy there already and I didn't want to bring kids into it, but really, if you were to compare the fraction of male bolters who have young kids vs. total number of male bolters, to a fraction of female bolters with young kids vs a total number of female bolters, your numbers will be even more dramatically different, IMO. That fell into the "time" category, I guess. I think Karla has kids. I don't think any other female bolter hes young kids, or any kids, that I am aware of. That's why I didn't really want to bring it up in Paul's facebook thread, it wasn't a major part of your post. For me bolting is more about giving my due to the climbing community than the drive of putting up new routes. Its was nice to put up a few routes, and I'm sure I'll put more up at some time, but I don't have that need that someone like Nathan has. I think it's more of a reflection of society than anything else. Yes, I think that women being directed not to be so aggressive has something to do with it, but I think you're right about things like kids too. And even in a relationship without children, the man and woman in the relationship take on certain roles too which may leave the women more responsibility at home regardless (I'd be curious on your thoughts on a childless couple).
Ewe have to haz teh Glory drive to put up new roots. Without it it's just a bunch of phucking work.

GO that's why I put the crow bar comment in there. I figured it was either a comment to do with society (engineer thing) or the effort that it takes (crowbar comment). Yes, it's physical to jug a line and crowbar things off, but it's also physical just to take up the sport of climbing. Cleaning a choss pile route may be dirty, but it's not something where I felt physically limited (except for the fact I broke my femur and hanging in the harness for long periods of time used to suck big time). Personally, I will choose to view the constriction working comment as it being perceived as being too hard so women shy away.
I've worked with three women in teh construction trades. Two Masons and one equipment operator and they were pretty hard broads. Partly by nature and partly because construction is hard on ewe. I think most women are smart and realize this. Guys, knot so much.

Those fat punk chicks or pretty core. We were at a bar with won and she wanted to show us her gnu labia piercing. She was wearing a mini skirt and to be discrete, just pulled her "lip" down like a piece of silly putty, showed us, and then letting it go. And I'll be damned but teh thing snapped write back into place.

granite_grrl wrote: So I mentioned the upstairs neighbour’s dog. They were tying it up outside my door where it poops and digs holes. I’ve also taken to climbing the back side of the stairs outside and am starting in a one of the holes the dog has dug. I removed their first nappy dog lead, and just now a new cable dog lead has been padlocked on to one of the stair posts. Wrote them a note asking to talk with them on Sunday about the matter, because just going back and forth with notes is a bad way to get anything resolved. Pretty sure talking face to face won’t resolve anything either as I need to convince them to actually take their dog for walks rather than just tying it up outside. The poor thing is stuck in an apartment all day, then gets let out and tied to a post so it can do its business. It’s a puppy with a lot of energy so it’s no wonder it’s digging holes. These people shouldn’t own a dog in a little apartment if they can’t take care of it, but they’re not going to see things that way. I might grab some cable snips and bring them back from St. Catharines just in case. I fucking hate renting.
That is lame.

But I somehow combined paprika, garam masala, cumin, coriander, garlic and ginger to come up with something delicious! And I've never cooked with butternut squash before. This week's adventure: Kale. This also makes me upset at the lack of flavours I was exposed to when I was growing up.
I had 3 grate mustard dawgs at teh Creke. Would be happy to share teh recipe with ewe.
