Since I can't be bothered to create a new thread, I'll bump this one.
In reply to: Exactly. Guideline #1 is one of the great things about this site. Flaming, hate, & trolls have other sites to utilize. Those reasons are why I don't visit rc.com and rarely go to Supertopo. The gradual "rockclimbing.com-ification" of this site bothers myself and some others I have spoken with. If rc.com is what you want, then go there. As I said in my one contribution to the thread in question, it wasn't changing anyone's mind, and just seemed to make everyone involved (and SoAz climbers in general) look bad. I bet the folks at rc.com & supertopo (and boldering.com & the old rec.climbing) would love that thread. Maybe those who liked that thread should start up another one over there.

You know, I started lurking over there more after signing up to respond to a regional question, and have to say that, despite what the users at MP think, it's the same old bullshit over there as here - same dumb climbing topics, arguments over style, discussions about gear, and half of the same users. As far as I can tell, it's nothing new, either.
They do have a better search function but a more boring scummunity. The Taco is the only one with consistently interesting content, but the UI is so abysmal that I can't bring myself to wander over there unless it's a really slow day at work.

You're right - I should have said "the only one with occasionally interesting climbing content." I'd rather be punched in the nuts than read a TR here or at MP.

Every time I ever click on link to supertopo, I see that it leads to a thread of dozens of pages populated by the same old hasbeens. If I wanted that kind of bullshit, I'd stick in the BET.

I have met, and climbed with quality people from both sites.

+1
I've actually been going over there because it was boring here for a while.
I do like their route database better, but I get all warm and fuzzy here when the knives come out.

Your ability to mis-interpret a post is impressive.
Really, no climbing in NE???. Thanks, I hadn't figured that out. But clearly you haven't looked at the RC.com route database, the hiddnen gem in there is outstanding.

How long a rope do you need for that route? Sounds sweet (although probably repetitive).

Good question. I've been doing it sans rope for a while, so I'll have to ask around.
As for repetitive, do "your mom" jokes ever grow old? Sort of, but people still make them.
There is a very similar route in central Minnesota that I was looking climb. It looks equally as sweet, but I can't find the GPS co-ordinates for it.
