i tell u about me last time.

i eat multiple dose of mescaline and now i have seen the ways of climbing. if u ever read Don Juan Matus he will say samething. the diff is that i dont want to be barnes and noble bestsales.

i learn that free soloing is the purest form of climbing; everything else is kindergarten.

i want patmay to shutup and stop picking fights with me. i know real climb freesolo for example: i watched the trailer for the sharp ends, and a man is freesoloing-WHY??

because freesoling will tune u into the rock the only real way to climb and for the right reason.

other people like pat will say girl and fiscal venues but that is abursd.

I solo and love doing it. I don't see how it is anymore (pure) then leading or even top rope.
For me it is more about why you climb. Some do it for sport some do it to stay in shape and some do it as some way to make them selfs feel better about who they are. I do not think less of someone for not soloing or even leading that is up to them not me.
I climb for the love of the climb. It's the same reason I started climbing years ago. solo, lead or top rope I always have a good climb.

That said yes solo is a very different game and does put you in a very different state of mind.

I think top-roping on plastic is the purest form of rock climbing.

Not me. I climb so I can chase harder grades. If I don't climb something tougher everyday, the day is a total waste.

FINALLY! someone speaking common sense. seriously if you aren't going to climb hard why climb at all!?! I mean really what kind of girl is going to hang out with a 5.3 sport climber- do they even bolt climbs that easy?
I know ALL the chicks where cheering for me when i sent the purple route! that things at least a 5.6!Wink

Ya know, I've been wondering if my local gym will let me aid with hooks on TR.

(I want to be pure like Sun-eto!)

The red route is really kicking my butt. But I KNOW I can aid it.

If you can't find the beauty in the movements on really hard stuff you will never make it to the top. Finding your center is the real key. Do it for the love of the climb, respect it ,plastic or not and you will get better with every new climb. Power is far less important then skill. Yes you need both but one without the other will always limit you. It's a dance learn the steps and move to the next dance. It doesn't really matter what type of climbing it is.

Hey, no racism here. NOT acceptable. If you don't like Aceto's posts (I find them decidedly insightful) then just don't read them. simple as that.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion- not everyone is forced to listen.

Sorry, but it's not racism, I honestly don't think that this person is this bad at English and is only pretending to write this way. I'm getting annoyed. I never said I don't like native american people like me or whatever, I'm just commenting on the way he writes. He couldn't possibly be serious. I'm not talking down on content, I'm speaking out against his joking around with how he writes. It's a waste of time just like this response I'm writing is becomming a waste of my time.

No hard feelings intended.
