I know. It's, like, 20-year-old news.

Also, it scares the shit out of sport climbers. But, that's just another thing that we all know.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wasn't impressed with Josh, almost all the climbs I've climbed are crumbly to some extent, and they're short. There are some climbs that are good, but they are few and far between in my opinion.

Agreed. JTree is mediocre in aggregate, but it is better than nothing in the winter time.
If you think the popular routes are crumbly, you should try some of the new routes that have not made it into a guide book yet. Holy ball bearings.

Great, another A Hole that won't come to J-Tree and make the line at Cross Roads longer. You and Art can keep falling on bolts and stay away from J-Tree... hahaha
What's the matter, not enough bolts shining in the sun for you? Is the rack too heavy for a one pitch trad climb? Too much friction for you feet? The cracks hut your hands? Are there too many climbs to choose from? Don't like building your own anchors? Don't like slab top outs?
j/k Jay, I love you and Art... well atleast Art... hahaha
Oh don't mind me... I'm currently drunk and feel like having a pissing contest.

Now Curt, I noticed that you had a FA on a 2 bolt slab start to Hyperion. I'm gonna chalk it up to youth and ignorance.

Hey, 2 quarter-inch bolts in 60 feet of 5.10 is not a sport climb.

I thought the climbing was alright but the camping on the other hand... I needed a vacation after a weekend of that!

Ahhh, New Jack ain't bad. I've had some fun there, sport climbing is just not my bag. Fortunately I live close so I don't have to deal with camping, and only go there mid week.

HUH???
Hill, you been sneaking in to my bag of scrib or are you just drunk? If you are going to quote me, try to get it right.... so I don't sound any more stupid than I already am! Thanks.
Josh is "dummy domes in lowangle wasteland"
The only claim to fame Josh has these days, is that it is the fashionable place for washed up hasbeens to move to, while they wait for death. A place cheap enough and warm enough, with plenty of other washouts in residence to relive thier past days of glory with. "You should have seen us back in the day, we were so cool and bitchin at the same time!"
HAHA!!!1

I haven't seen that much bitterness here in a while.

Yes, I admit, I am a hasbeen.
So, I encourage any Sport climber to stay away from JT!!! That will make it easier for me to find a campsite on the weekends.

Well, it's a nice enough place for that--considering that the alternative is to go sport climbing.

Well it may be a place for washed up has-beens, but it's certainly no place for washed up never-will-be's.
