I just noticed this user's signature. I don't know him at all, haven't decided if he is obnoxious or whatever, but I do know that sig is the DUMBEST I've come across.
In reply to: Current Location: University of Dayton Climbing Seriously Since: Early 2004 Hardest Route: 5.11a Hardest Problem: V5 Gear: Petzl harness, Petzl biners, Prana Clothes and Chalkbag, Metolius Crashpad
What the hell? If this is not blatant SPRAY, I do not know what is! Now, I know that in conversation, our climbing levels occassionally come up. There are even those sporadic "how hard do you climb?" threads that hit the front page that always wind up turning into circle jerks (and yes, unfortunately I have contributed to these threads at times).
That said, I believe that putting your "hardest sends" in your fricking signature is juvenile and cocky. This site already has a feature– the personal routes list– in which you can list all your "badass proj's." If any of us are really DYING to know how hard a user pulls down, we will go to the user's profile.
oh, and since someone will ineveitably post it anyway, I will:
.11a? v5? PULLLLLEEEEEEEEZZ!!!!

Ha! I like a fella with a bit of moxy. I'm down with Petzl but he's gotta lose the Prana and jump his bouldering up a few grades before he can hang with me though.

Can you attach a spray grade to a sig? If so, S2... S3, tops.

I really wasn't sure how I felt about this guy's signature, until you came along and summed it up very nicely.
Honestly...what IS that?

If I have to hear about one more person who has been climbing for 6 months and is solid on 5.11 and wants to know how to "break through the plateau" I'm going to barf.

Well, crap. If Prana won't work for a dude from Ohio, it ain't got no hope for a boy from South Cack-a-lack. And, seriously, the only reason I ever got Petz stuff was that the rep said it was an aphrodiastic.
