It is a source of endless amazement and amusement that the #1 Most Viewed Topic in the History of RockClimbing.com is a flame about me.
As I was off on yet another fun adventure, climbing Bermuda Dunes with Tom and then soloing Lost in America, you guys were wasting time on this post.
What happened? Now that I'm home, you stop writing? What's wrong with you? Are you merely a bunch of non-climbing p*ssies with nothing better to do than type away on your computers?
Those of you most vocal [and you know who you are] are hereby awarded membership in the Dr. Piton Get A Life Club.
Someday - just once in my lifetime - I would love it if one of you detractors actually had the balls to come up to me and say something in person! Not ONE PERSON has ever done this! I think I'll faint if and when this ever comes to pass. Funny how your bollocks shrivel when you step away from your computer screen, and might actually have to meet the object of your flaming face to face.
In the meantime, please let me offer my thanks to the literally dozens of people who schlepped pigs, gave me rides, bought me beer and pizza and bolts, and just generally hung out and had fun. Somewhere I've got a running list, so I'll be sure to thank each of you personally for your help.
Tom and I will put together another trip report in the form of a photo essay like we did for our ascent of Scorched Earth, and I'll write up a trip report for my solo of Lost in America.
In the meantime, get a life.
Shut up and climb.
[Oscar would be proud, wouldn't he?]
Cheers,
Dr. Piton

:lol: Ha ha! You just kill me, man. You truly are a "doctor"; a spin doctor. Spinning another one, eh? Freakin' hilarious!
Hey, maybe you could PM flamer and get him to change the title to say something like "Yosemite...just back...here's the current gossip on one of the self-proclaimed world's greatest big wall climbers, our very own Dr. Piton." :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. Yes, there was an attempted hijacking. But I believe we now have things under control. You may return to your altered state of conciousness watching the inflight movie.

Coyote- dude! you kill me! Seems as if i'm always laughing when you post something!
Pete, Well I have a couple of points to make.
#1 I apologise that this seems to have turned into a thread bashing you. It was not my original intent, I know My opinion of you(from the start of the thread) was not always the greatest. It truly was not my intent and you'll notice that on more than one occasion I tried to get it back on track.
#2 I wish I knew how to move quotes around, but since I suck with computers I'll just have to make do....
I find it funny that you tell us to get a life...are you not the #4 rated user on this site? And in a recent thread(the one about your "index" not being "sticky" anymore) Did you not tell people that it didn't matter because they could easily find your "index" by clicking on your name on the front page? It kind'a sounded like you were bragging a bit..but not you right? Obviously someone who climbs as much as you (and clearly isn't a Pu**y) wouldn't brag about being the #4 rated user on this site!
#3 As far as not saying anything to your face...Where I come from it would be impolite to be an ass to someone you just met. Now that I've met you, if we meet again, I might tell you what I think! Might being the key word...because i'd probably just pretend I don't know you...
#3 Are you sure you aren't just pissed that this is the #1 all time thread(in terms of number of hits) and not one of your's?? I myself am amazed that it Has been viewed this much! I'm curious to know if it is an error??
#4 Does anybody know what's going on in the Valley these days? :wink:

Certainly not.
It is for that very reason I chose to respond as I did above. And it's not the most responded to post, it's the most READ post, and there is a difference, you know.
I am Dr. Piton,
and I am President of my Very Own Club!
[As for being #4 user on this website, this is clearly indicative of my need to Get A Life. But ask rrretard - he'll tell you - I'm not really the number four user - ask him!]
Hey, rrretard! I'm not really the #4 user, am I?
[We'll get this bloody post to 30,000 - you just watch and see. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! rrretard will help. I have nothing better to do this weekend. It's Canada Day, eh? Besides, my fingers are still hurting me.......]
[Oh yeah, nice use of the word "eh" above, eh? Pretty good for a Merrican. Then again, if you're from Sarasota, you could be a snowbird.....]
So there. Nyah nyah nyah.
How's your finger, flamer?

Don't knock it, rrradam. Now you too can lay claim to the most read post on rc.com being about you. Bask in all your glory. With ptpp as your detractor, you must be the most bitchin' trad climber ever!

That's not until July 1st, dude. Don't tell me you're making a 3-day weekend out of it?
This really is a priceless exchange. Pete, I think it would be fair if Flamer gave it back to you from an equal height the next time you're both in the Valley. I know, I know...it wasn't intentional. But a little bit of humility would go a long way.

Dude. DUDE. Doo-hude!
Canada Day is like, Tuesday, eh? So I'm making it like a four-day weekend, eh?
And considering I've been home since Tuesday, I think, and have yet to walk in the door of my office [don't want the office staff to pass out in surprise] I might make a week out of it.
It's sort of this carry-forward from being a Valley climbing bum for the last month and a half. It really is amazing how long I avoid doing anything productive.
Sometimes I amaze even myself.
I am Dr. Piton,
and I am very bitchin' indeed.
[Just ask me ... I'll tell you myself!]

(I'm still laughing.)
Truth be told, I'm no more a Merrican than you. (Work on it for a while; you might just figure it out.) But enough about me.
In reply to: Someday - just once in my lifetime - I would love it if one of you detractors actually had the balls to come up to me and say something in person! Not ONE PERSON has ever done this! I think I'll faint if and when this ever comes to pass.
But to make it up to you, I'm making a commitment right here and now, a "grand announcement" if you will. If for some reason I ever run into you in real life, I'll tell ya what I'll do. I'll be the guy who walks up to you out of the blue, asks if you are ptpp, and then says, "You are full of shit right up to your eyeballs." And I'm gonna do that simply because you "would love it."
No need to thank me now. Please wait til I actually have the opportunity.
I guess I'm just a swell guy, eh?

Ok, yeah... you're getting there... it's not much of a stretch now... just a little further...one more step....
Ok, a little hint. From what you know to be true about yourself, and from what I said, you can logically conclude what? C'mon, it's not that hard. Just read carefully. I'm sure it'll all come together for you shortly. :idea: :!:

If anybody has read this far, my prediction is that it will soon become a shoe thread, followed by a flame war about shoe threads.
BTW: Canada has "day"? What the hell, eh? Aren't they one of hte states?

So what kind of climbing shoes do hosers wear, anyway? And what type of shoes are most frequently dropped? Which are most likely to hold up after a 1000 ft fall? I'm planning on dropping a few pair next time I'm in the Valley for testing purposes, but was wondering what types of shoes you guys would recommend.
Thanks -- Epic Ed
(Just doing my part to turn this into a shoe thread...)

... this thread was a bit more interesting before i killfied a bunch of people -- now it seems a bit one-sided .. haha ..
.. umm -- i hate to point this out pete .. but i think one of your detractors did tell you what they thought to your face .. remember that guy that you ran into the day i met you that went off on you? -- i guess we can call him a detractor ..
.. anywyas ... just want to keep this thread going ..
.. about dropping shoes .. would it be better if you drop one at a time, or both of them .. and if so .. should you tie them together with 1/2" webbing or 1" webbing? -- what do you guys think?

DUDE!!! What's up with the move to feedback and trip reports??? Why wasn't it moved a month ago???
Killfile, haha! Am I on anyones killfile??? I guess I think Killfile is the easy way out...that way you can live in your own little world...and not have to know that there is a "better way"....either that or you're a sexually harrassed chick.... :lol:
