I wear short shorts. The high school cross country racing type. They make me not want to hang in my harness.

STFU life n00b!!!!
You are so pig ignorant of the world you’re worse than if I took my 40+ year old fat arse to a crag (6 hours away) and talked how “I’m ready to get my send on” and “I got all the right pro, bro” and how “this doesn’t look that much harder than the wall at Dick’s” or even “that crux, dude, looks has the same move as do daily on my woodie”. I’m not stupid enough to do that. (Do other things, not that.)
Listen – if you think you are saving the earth, you are wrong, you are, in all likelihood, doing more damage than >99% than of all homo sapiens who have ever lived. If you think “baking my own bread” is good for the earth – wrong – wasting energy. If you think buying local is good for the earth – wrong – wasting energy. If you think buying organic is good for the earth – wrong – uses more land than conventional farming. If you think buying organic is chemical free – wrong – remember ricin and arsenic is a nice and organic chemicals. And If you think you are too good to shop walmart, then you aren’t, your too stupid to shop walmart. Too stupid to shop walmart is like being too drunk to fish. There are people who are, but they shouldn’t be bragging about it.
If you want to know if high tech climbing cloths are worth the money – ask away. There are plenty of people with well informed opinions. Otherwise STFU.
Oh, and while I’m at it, Aceto – I’ve read Terence McKenna and you sir are no Terence McKenna.

I imagine this is a troll, and for your sake hope so. I do wonder what you suggest as alternatives for attempting to spend my money in a way that is environmentally responsible. I never claimed to "bake my own bread" and never insinuated that I was too good to shop at walmart, hell I never even mentioned walmart. Those are inferences that you made on your own. How is it possible that buying products made or grown near your home consumes more energy than trucking it in from somewhere else? Congrats on the 1st post.

I’m sorry, I must have missed something. I thought that here:
1) You should state everything with a broad brush, ignore facts, and hint, but not directly actually insult, someone who can climb better than you
2) Stake out an position, defend it, then back off it “facts” get in the way
3) Take open pot shots at anything that is not based on climbing best practices
I’m sorry, does that make me a troll?????
As for energy usage: overall it takes less energy to get an equivalent can of tomatoes from Cali to a super market in Mass (via rail) than it takes to get the same from local farms to the same supermarket via pickup truck. You might have heard of this concept: Economics of scale. Not all that is painted green is good for the “environment”.
Ooops did I do it again? (Then spank me one more time)

Look i never backed off anything because of "the facts." I never got my "facts" wrong... I simply have an opinion that people don't agree with and I expressed it in a way that made it even harder for people to understand and agree with. So I'm not a poet.

1 - I kinda like to insult with out all the fluff myself.
2 - My view or anyone view is just that. Right or wrong I like it when people speak there minds.
3- yea that does happen far to much.
I hate that troll word it gets used far to much on here.

your right but if you want better food you have to pay for it. In the end it's up to the person. Home grown is still best.

Actually, I signed up so I can get some climbing advice. Because internet advice is the best advice!
I, sir, am not plain dumb. I’m actually far more educated on this than you. In the same way I would not yet question the safety expertise of the major safety posters, you should not assume that I don’t know that of which I speak. My food and environmental cred far outweighs my microscopic climbing cred.
As for some of the other comments. Peppers are native to Central America, so outside of that they are an alien species (not to mention highly manipulated by homo sapiens). And organic means no petrochemical pesticides. It does not mean petroleum products were not heavily used to plow, grow or distribute the products. "Further" does not equal less fuel was used, it just means further. Again, back to my example, multiple pickups to and from a food pickup location are identical to consuming bottled water vs. drinking tap water. You’ve heard that is bad, right?
Also, I said “green” not “good”. Local food often tastes better, even if it is not better for the overall environment.
Ahhhh. Thread drift. Trolling. Am I getting this RC.com thingie yet?

Skipping over the obviously insensitive aspect of people with real mental handicaps (as opposed to those with just a need to quote bad rock songs)…
Yellow pants. Does anyone sell actual gear that, while not as “rad” as the pink 80s gear, come in interesting colors?
(Oh yeah, I’m hoping someone re-puts: bad 80’s climbing pants, David Lee Roth, Miami U camo with neon orange and / or a guy climbing in “pinky” pants)

The only energy it took was kinetic along with the glow of my kitchen light bulb.
