Yes whoever is doing the chipping and crack bolting needs to GET A %@#$ING LIFE! Take your drill and chisel, stuff them up your candy ass and take up golf if you don't want to put effort into climbing! These routes were done long before you at a higher standard, don't bring them down to your level.

Maybe you could lay in wait and catch some of these no-talent chippers; nothing like a little frontier justice...

Yes. Billings sucks. Dont ever come here and climb on the miles and miles of sandstone cliffs. Dont buy up our affordable houses and mess with our "nice people live here" vibe that is long gone from other cities in the state... be as closed minded as possible and do not visit. Ever.
Sucky and loving it in Billings,

First let me address the issue of "Billings Sucks" i don't think billings sucks and i actually like it here. Issue two, not bolting anything higher than a 5.13......have you ever gotten on a 5.13 climb.......is there a reason why a climb that is easier than that cann't be bolted. Sport climbing is fun for people who can do routes that may seem easy to you but are still chalenging to them. Trad climbing is great......for a person to get comfortable placing gear, they must first become comfortable with lead climbing a sport route.....cliping a quick draw on a rout that is 5.10 and 200 feet up maybe just as a thrill to someone as a climber free climbing some insane route. What makes climbing so cool is that each person can get what they want out of it, if i only climb a 5.9 for the day, but i am happy with my climb, isn't that all that should matter.....regardless of if the route had bolts on it or it was a trad climb. You say that i should stay home. Why? I live climbing as much as the next guy........but i see nothing wrong with climbing a chalenging sport climb.....never have, never will. ~Climb hard, Climb often~

To mtrockclimber.
You're a bloody moron coming up with statements like "nothing wrong with bolting cracks etc". Jez mate, get a grip.
1) Bolting where there's alternative natural pro is wrong! END OF STORY!!!
2) Retro-bolting is wrong! END OF STORY!!!!
3) If you want to stay safe, take up lawn-bowls. With your attitude, you're trying to bring the climbs down to your level, rather than bringing yourself up to the climbs level. And that's wrong! END OF STORY!!!!
4) No climbs 'need' bolts. It is always the climber who 'needs' the bolts. END OF STORY!!!!!

Before this becomes a huge debate about bolting near a protectable crack, keep in mind that mtrock has 2 posts... most likely this is a troll... Just reread it and think how you would word it if you wanted to get a ton of people to fly off at the handle. Then ignore it.

Well i guess everyone has their own opinion on the matter, bolting or not bolting, i am not saying i personally do the bolting......but as long as i see a bolted route i see nothing wrong with sport climbing it.....for people talking about placing pro instead of bolts.......have they ever placed pro on sandstone? i can understand having good natural protection on granite or other hard rocks, sandstone pro can be very sketchy at times. Oh well. Everyone climbs the way they want......that's what makes it fun.

You are not a mountain rockclimber you are not a rockclimber. DO NOT LEAVE THE GYM. NEVER LEAVE THE GYM. Get your boney ass to Zion or Indian Creek and bolt some cracks and see what happens. Geez. Children today.

In reply to: Ouch! Such BIG words! :lol: just for that me and my homies are going to keep your rack and bike(as crappy as they are). Whatever Mike!
Never happen. Your in denial, buddy. Billings sucks and the sooner you except that, the better off you'll be. Maybe when you get out of high school, you can figure that one out.
Katydid- I'm just trying to make a point here. How much info is needed for this choss-pit of a climbing area anyway? Instead of community, How about throwing it in the garbage where it belongs?

In reply to: is there something wrong with bolts on a crack climb.....safety is important, after all i want to live to climb another day. If you want to live to climb another day, learn how to place effective gear in cracks and strive to improve your climbing skills, don't degrade crack climbs with bolts. 5.13 crack climbs have been onsighted on gear, do you think it's really necessary to bolt anything easier than that? Better yet if you really want to minimize risk, tope rope the thing or STAY HOME. As for the statement that "Billings sucks"....WHATEVER dude! |

This got moved to the community? Halarious. A resurected troll.
Billings is not the typical log-cabin-check-out-my-phatty-H2-parked-outside montana community. Its gritty. Blue collar. Sure, people are nice... Most of them have regular jobs and like raising families in a warm pleasant community.
But there is climbing here. There are even a few dozen sandstone routes that sit directly above the city and a collection of unpretentious climbers willing to show folks around. If you want more earnest climbing, drive an hour and go play in the Beartooths.
If you want to run with a narrow minded snotty clique, there are plenty of other communities to visit for that. Me, I walk out my back door every night and go work on the routes right behind my house...

Good to see this place becoming a think tank of constructive information and comment. Grow up people, who are you to diss other climbing areas that you know nothing about. Some of you don't even live in Montana. Oudinardin how do you have time for 512 3rd grade level posts without 1 informative or even positive thing to say? Check out http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/search.php?search_author=oudinardin for some good bathroom reading material. "Billing Sucks" "your still a friggin dick man" "wow, you people are all so incredibly lame" "The best medicine for this would be frequent masturbation" "I just completed my sex change. Whooo". Do you even climb? Or is this just your outlet for venting sexual frustration?
Long live the rimrocks! Leave your drill at home!

I agree. A lot of "sucks", "blows", "dicks" and "pricks" in his posts. "Rimrocks is gay"!!!!! Hard to believe he's 31 yrs old! After reading some of his posts it's clear he may have emotional/psych/sexual issues. Anyway people like him are best ignored, they tend to self destruct, hopefully! They contribute little to anything.

Deep Sigh.....
WE can debate on and on about what, who and why a particular town in our wonderful state sucks or does not suck, but in the end it matters little. The original post about bolting cracks has been lost and, in my opinion well debated over in many threads prior. Honestly, I have never climbed in Billings or spent much time there. It does not seem to suck or seem to be wonderful, just another place I pass through while on the road. So without trying to sound like a pansie (BTW I like Motorhead) lets try and be constructive. Ya'll in the eastern part of the state organize a date and time and post to the gathering thread when it is. Anyone who cares to attend can then sample the quality of climbing as well as the town and then make up there own mind. OR you can flame the hell out of me. In the words of Rodney King..."Can't we all just get along"
NB: If you organize it..someone will come (he he) I'll show up and bring a few with me. ......Here ends the warm fuzzy
