I'm getting really fuking tired of hearing you complain all the time, that you can't, when you haven't even tried the fuking move. And tring a move, doen't mean one or two weke assed attempts franticly stabbing at a hold, it means sitting in front of the move, shutting you fuking mouth, listening to the coaching and attempting correctly, the move a dozen times on each run, if thats what it takes. Climbing a difficult route isn't always going to be fuking easy, sometime, you just have to suck it up princess and put a little heart into in. Everytime you decide to skip a section, you have just wasted a run and wasted my fuking time. If you want to do routes that you can easily get in a go or two, maybe it's time to move on, find another partner and start climbing in those easier, slabier areas. Either get with the program or get the fuk out of my sight! So you think I should bolt it even though I can barely do only two of the moves and can't even come close to the others?
Heh... Kinda hard to tell from here without a little more information on the route, your fittness, whether it's choss and still needs 'cleaning' or if it's gud rock and you think it will go with what's there and of course how much time are you willing to put in to it.
There is a big difference between a route that has already gone and a route you are starting from zero and have to figure out everything. Generally, if I can do all the move with just a day or two of werk, the route will not end up being that hard. If I'm looking for something that is actually going to be pretty difficult, I'll be willing to put in a week or more of days werking on it before I'll decide anything.
For example the route I've been werking on and off for over a month now, I can do some of the moves and can hang on to all of the holds now. Took me several days to just be able to do the opening couple moves and not fall into the pond. That being said at the end of this past weekend, kinda tired I fell off them and splashed. Course some of that was C-ya's lack of ability to belay quickly enough so that when I called for rope then fell off instead of clipping that she was able to pull the rope in quick enough to keep me out of the water. On other moves, it took me dozens of tries just to figure out what to do, then more ties to actually do the moves.
So yea, I think you should bolt it, if you are willing to put the time and werk into tring to do it.

Looks like a pretty crappy area. You still seem to be climbing pretty well for working so much. I am falling in that pic. I didn't RP the root. I did onsight from the ground to the first bolt, from the last bolt to the anchors, and also the big ghey rest in the middle. Yeah but you're still working .13b for kirssake, and you're sending .13a on the weekend. Says who? Sides, the ghey rest is supposed to cut the grade a letter and then I figured out a better way to do the hardest move, so its probably only 12+ I have spies everywhere. Ah, this is the route with the ghey rest. If it was only 12+, why didn't you send?  A lot of things go it to sending a difficult route.... Sometimes you sess, sometimes you get sessed. #6. Now lets talk about any of your big sends? oh that's rite, you haven't actually sent anything. I've sent lots of things. Why you has to liez. Why? I never lie! I've sent tons of things. They are just mostly 5.11 and under. I'm sorry to have to be the won to break the news to ewe... '5.11 and under' aren't really sends. sorry. I hate being a has-ben. I'm comfortable in my "never-was" status. Well of the two... I personaly prefer to be a washed up has been. Speaking of which, I know I forgot to mention it, the route I went to and then went back to, cuz I thought I could get it.... I didn't get. It's probibly because I'm allwashedup, but I prefer to think, the route was really fuking difficult. I'm pretty fuking driven though, I'll be back in the spring. This time save the chips until after you tag the route. What rowt was this again? Or does naming the location/route violate anti-spray regulations? Was yore fingerz swole? The name of the route doesn't really matter. sides if I said it, some poser like snoppy would just look it up and spray the number all over the board... or some ball cupper like WMD would tell me that at least I'm werking insert 'some giant number'. Can't you just be happy that it seemed difficult for me and that I failed? You forgot to use the [wmd] [/wmd]
Huh???

You still have a few years to inspire him to do something other than the armed services. I fear that if you keep fretting about it you'll drive him towards it. Just motivate him the other way. Push the booze, weed, tail and personal freedom aspect of things. Maybe buy him a bit of each. Eh, if he pisses hot enough, he won't be able to get a secret clearance, and will be ineligible for the regiment. We did talk about this. He knows I'm not that down on the booze and weed, cuz I did both at his age. But that since he has already been in legal trouble with each, I would be an iresponsible parent if I did not do everything in my power to keep him out of trouble. I have talked with about the women he would meet in college and the lack of, in the Army. We also talked about personal freedom in and outside the miltary. This seems to be a great area revisit. I also mentioned the piss on command regular drug tests. heh... I don't think he was to big on that. We had a gud conversation. I saw some openings and he has some new things to factor in/think about. Games not over yet. At 18, if he decides to enlist, at least he will be making a more informed choise. We'll see what happens. Jesus Jack, you sound like such a.... responsible parent! Now get your ass to JTree! jack! ropegun me some slabz! Not sure if you would like the routes I like, that are out at JTree. So Jack, what routes at Jtree do you like? I'm just wondering, aside from steep spurt, what kind of oldskool tard climbing you prefer.
I see, so you are going to make me revisit teh nightmares of my past....
The last route I went to at JT was South of Heaven that was two seasons ago, though it is probibly considered 'sport'. Other routes that I liked at JT, other than the 'sport' were Course and Buggy, Spider Line, The Beaver, Tick Tic Boom, Wanger Banger... now my head is starting to hurt. Generally though, what I like best at JT is the 'sport'. Things like teh Black Diamond, stuff on the Ivory Tower(though I haven't actually been able to do some of it) and Iconoclas. I would have to pull out my guide to give you any more details... and I'm not quite sure where it is right now.

Yeah, I've heard the Beaver climbs like a sport route; didn't get on it when I was out there. It looks awesome.

Nice pic, I like the matching outfits. and yea, if you gays were wanking on the first moves... put a little more werk in to it. That's the crux. You've been sport climbing so much that you must have forgot. Curt
My memory may be failing, but I still can remember that the crux is the start... Though I'm not sure how that changes anything. I stand on my post. If the boys are failing at the start, they need to put a little more werk into it.

But let's be clear, we aren't talking about some low angle, 2 bolt, overated wankfest that you can't do. We are talking about a full on, 11 bolt, steep, difficult route, that dispite hundreds of attempts by all the strong locals has only been done by myself(with lots of werk) and two, one four mutants. Did you get any big chunks of that spray on yourself? Curt
looking down at myself I don't seem to be wet?
I know it hard... you know, with the hole being queer and being drunk in the morning thing and all, but try to make the distintion between stating facts and spray. It kinda help with not looking so stupid thing. I'm just saying.

If I'm looking for something that is actually going to be pretty difficult, I'll be willing to put in a week or more of days werking on it before I'll decide anything. For example the route I've been werking on and off for over a month now, I can do some of the moves and can hang on to all of the holds now. Took me several days to just be able to do the opening couple moves and not fall into the pond. That being said at the end of this past weekend, kinda tired I fell off them and splashed. Course some of that was C-ya's lack of ability to belay quickly enough so that when I called for rope then fell off instead of clipping that she was able to pull the rope in quick enough to keep me out of the water. On other moves, it took me dozens of tries just to figure out what to do, then more ties to actually do the moves. So yea, I think you should bolt it, if you are willing to put the time and werk into tring to do it.
The thing is it seeps like crazy half the year and we are going to be moving shop soon anyway.
I'm gonna see what if feels like agian. Last time I got rocked pretty gud on another root the day before so I could probably give it a better effort.
Its still pretty dirty, the rock isn't too bad though. Its mostly just boiler plate scale on the face. It makes footholds problematic though. They keep breaking off.

Be happy with the bit you got and be happy you got away.
It is what it is.

We are talking about a full on, 11 bolt, steep, difficult route, that dispite hundreds of attempts by all the strong locals has only been done by myself(with lots of werk) and two, one four mutants.

Looks like a pretty crappy area. You still seem to be climbing pretty well for working so much. I am falling in that pic. I didn't RP the root. I did onsight from the ground to the first bolt, from the last bolt to the anchors, and also the big ghey rest in the middle. Yeah but you're still working .13b for kirssake, and you're sending .13a on the weekend. Says who? Sides, the ghey rest is supposed to cut the grade a letter and then I figured out a better way to do the hardest move, so its probably only 12+ I have spies everywhere. Ah, this is the route with the ghey rest. If it was only 12+, why didn't you send? A lot of things go it to sending a difficult route.... Sometimes you sess, sometimes you get sessed. #6. Now lets talk about any of your big sends? oh that's rite, you haven't actually sent anything. I've sent lots of things. Why you has to liez. Why? I never lie! I've sent tons of things. They are just mostly 5.11 and under. I'm sorry to have to be the won to break the news to ewe... '5.11 and under' aren't really sends. sorry. I hate being a has-ben. I'm comfortable in my "never-was" status. Well of the two... I personaly prefer to be a washed up has been. Speaking of which, I know I forgot to mention it, the route I went to and then went back to, cuz I thought I could get it.... I didn't get. It's probibly because I'm allwashedup, but I prefer to think, the route was really fuking difficult. I'm pretty fuking driven though, I'll be back in the spring. This time save the chips until after you tag the route. What rowt was this again? Or does naming the location/route violate anti-spray regulations? Was yore fingerz swole? The name of the route doesn't really matter. sides if I said it, some poser like snoppy would just look it up and spray the number all over the board... or some ball cupper like WMD would tell me that at least I'm werking insert 'some giant number'. Can't you just be happy that it seemed difficult for me and that I failed? You forgot to use the [wmd] [/wmd] Huh???

Those poor bastards crunched every panel on that thing!!! $60k ride fukkd up. Grounded for sure. mebe it twas Little Jack. Out joyriding while the oldman was pretending to be throwing down. *shakes head sadly* That buy is bound for the big house. Little Jack is doing better. School werk is gud, has been staying out of trouble and doing his chores without a problem. Thing is... now he thinks he wants to become a Army Ranger. I don't think he actually knows, that guys get killed in wars. Wish he would just head off to college and then decide what he wants to do. Rangers? Yikes. Tell him to join the PJ'speace corps if anything. That way he'll be stuck in training for x years and when he finally does get through he probably won't get shot at. I have talked to him plenty, he doesn't seem interested in any other service, just the army rangers. does he know what will happen if he fails? yup. regular army. Now that's something I can use. I wonder what the washout rate is? Though, I'll bet the kid has it in him. His teachers say he seems driven in his school werk. No drinking and he works out everyday. I'll bet that with the shape he is in now, he could climb great. Climbing saved my life and even though he doesn't seem interested, I need to werk on that angle. He's sixteen? You still have a few years to inspire him to do something other than the armed services. I fear that if you keep fretting about it you'll drive him towards it. Just motivate him the other way. Push the booze, weed, tail and personal freedom aspect of things. Maybe buy him a bit of each. Eh, if he pisses hot enough, he won't be able to get a secret clearance, and will be ineligible for the regiment. We did talk about this. He knows I'm not that down on the booze and weed, cuz I did both at his age. But that since he has already been in legal trouble with each, I would be an iresponsible parent if I did not do everything in my power to keep him out of trouble. I have talked with about the women he would meet in college and the lack of, in the Army. We also talked about personal freedom in and outside the miltary. This seems to be a great area revisit. I also mentioned the piss on command regular drug tests. heh... I don't think he was to big on that. We had a gud conversation. I saw some openings and he has some new things to factor in/think about. Games not over yet. At 18, if he decides to enlist, at least he will be making a more informed choise. We'll see what happens. Jesus Jack, you sound like such a.... responsible parent! Now get your ass to JTree! jack! ropegun me some slabz! Not sure if you would like the routes I like, that are out at JTree. So Jack, what routes at Jtree do you like? I'm just wondering, aside from steep spurt, what kind of oldskool tard climbing you prefer. I see, so you are going to make me revisit teh nightmares of my past.... The last route I went to at JT was South of Heaven that was two seasons ago, though it is probibly considered 'sport'. Other routes that I liked at JT, other than the 'sport' were Course and Buggy, Spider Line, The Beaver, Tick Tic Boom, Wanger Banger... now my head is starting to hurt. Generally though, what I like best at JT is the 'sport'. Things like teh Black Diamond, stuff on the Ivory Tower(though I haven't actually been able to do some of it) and Iconoclas. I would have to pull out my guide to give you any more details... and I'm not quite sure where it is right now. Yeah, I've heard the Beaver climbs like a sport route; didn't get on it when I was out there. It looks awesome.

I'm pretty sure this usually happens the other way around. Though I've seen some vids that suggest it possible.
