Standing on bolt hangers. Stemming off of trees. Grabbing runners when we think nobody's looking. Getting hauled past the crux by our belayer. Just about all of us have engaged in some sort of heinous poor climbing form at some time or another. So, if you've got pics post up! The worse form the better.

you forgot using your belayer as a ladder to miss the crux just off of the ground.

Oh FFS. I know the recent news about Ken Nichols has everyone running around in an uproar but is it possible to have at least ONE thread on here that doesn't figure out a way to devolve into "I chopped your bolt/entire crag/mom"
vs "zomfgxors, i fucking bomb your mother!!" ?

A friend of mine out west, pretty much a non-climber. She decided to get on something over her head and had to start hanging barely off the gound:
I think it was still good of her to even get on the route in the first place though.

I don't have a photo, but I stemmed onto a little tree on the second pitch of a route this past weekend. I've done the climb without that disgraceful display in the past, and felt I had nothing to prove. Besides, I think I was out of sight from my belayer.

I guess in these days it is easy to assume that an image has been photoshopped. This one, however, hasn't been. The route exists. It's called Russian Roulette, is rated 5.10a, and annak has the FA. Several rc.com users have looked at and/or climbed the route. I suppose I can provide a full list of references, if you really think it's necessary.

fresh from THIS morning!!!!
The route is in a rock by the beach, its base is the nothing but the sidewalk!!
The topo says "if you can't clip the first bolt, stand on the bike rack" (or whatever is called that place where you lock your bike to so it doesn't get stolen)
turned out the bike rack was too short, oh, well, maybe a trash can will do the trick!!
I don't know what is sadder, this poor form or the grafiti on the rock...
p.s. we didn't finish the route, the place has restricted access and we got kicked out before reaching 4th bolt...

I notice you're not helping some big, burly dude back on the route. Where's that other hand going?
I don't know if it's bad form, but it's funny helping someone back on the opening moves of a route. Is the opening sequence difficult? Edit: From the brief description, that seems to be the case. I might have done the same.

I've seen one at the New, hands down the worst route I've ever been on (route quality had nothing to do with bolting however). The local ethic 'round these parts is 100% opposed to anything that isn't ground-up, and as far as turning a hand crack into a sport route, that'd be a laughable waste of time and hardware, as there'd be folks chopping that shit ground-up before you'd finished installing the anchors.

Probably true. Of course glancing at the text below my avatar that explicitly states I'm from NC also goes a long way towards clearing any confusion. YMMV.

Of course glancing at the text below my avatar that explicitly states I'm from NC also goes a long way towards clearing any confusion. YMMV.
That's not the point. When the first sentence of your paragraph says something like, "At the New..." and the next sentence says, "Around these parts...," then "these parts" refers to the last agreeing antecedent in the paragraph (the New), not to your local residence. If you want "these parts" to refer to somewhere else, then you have to state where explicitly, like, "In contrast, around these parts in North Carolina...". Of course, it would be clearer still to just drop the "arround these parts" altogether, in favor of the simpler "where I live."
I'm available for math help, too.

If I were a young pretty girl, would any of the first three qualifications matter?

This sure is a great thread!!!
I really wish I could find it, but because Yahoo sucks balls I can't, but my friend has a picture of a girl belaying her husband in Little Cottonwood, while reading a book, the entire time, and while belaying at multiple belay stations.

Apparently it is about whether or not people should have gay sex and whether or not people should be bolting. I can see how those two topics go together.

I climb under the opinion that "if it works, use it". I am not a climbing Nazi and I will use and have used anything to give me a boost to the top. You can sometimes catch me me indoors using other climb's to get past a crux if I get stuck, its about how hard you want to push yourself.
Altho in saying that, using a bolt or biner to get you up higher usually ends in tears (eg broken or gaping holes in your fingers) if you fall while your fingers are in it (have seen it happen a couple of times).

Hey, your on-topic comments don't belong here!
I've intentionally left quickdraws on route so new people in my party wouldn't be tempted to throw a finger in the hanger. Usually a quick explanation of degloving at the start of the day works wonders. If someone wants to yard on something, I tell them to stick with the fabric. While you might manage to jamb your hand on the lower biner if you're really lucky, it's better than losing a finger.
I hate routes with a really poor foot right above a bolt. Your foot slips, you're on the bolt, and then the temptation slips in. Damn temptation.

Bolts, schmolts. I've climbed beautiful splitter bolted cracks at Shelf Road in CO. Big deal. Ditto with in France. Big deal. And no, neither was protecting loose flakes.
Anwyay, back on topic, is using knee-pads for a free climb considered poor form?
