He's been climbing 2 years and can climb 5.13. If that's not sick and wrong, I don't know what else is!

WTF - and I just had lunch! Now I have to clean all this half-digested food off my keyboard.
Dan, that's just sick.

I think a better question would be... "What's not wrong with this pic?"

I just wanted to apologize for causing all of you such a horrible pain showing this pic.
You really don't know how much sad I'am. I'm feelin such a pain knowing that all of you feel sooooooooooooo bad seing this pic that I'm about suicide.
How could I dare to show a pic of comp route with artificial holds!!!!!!!!! You are true. This is really sick.
Actually, I'm converted and I will start to remove all the bolts of the routes above 5.13 wich have glued or chopped holds, sika, etc. (probably about the 80%).
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

not sure, but i think the crack hes talking about is in the lower left corner, and the traverse is a little below the overhang and just out of sight

i've heard of plastic bolted onto rock before... the original Orujo (now a 9a+ candidate put up by Bernabe Fernandez) went at 8c+ i believe with the one hold bolted on... so from a 5.14c to a 5.15a....
i also heard of one other place (i forget where) where there was a big jug bolted on to what would have been an otherwise very very difficult (like V11+ i would guess) blank crux. kind of like chipping, except with the option of removing the hold and doing it naturally. a slight improvement IMO.

The girl with the orange shirt---still has her shirt on? Oh wait...this is a climbing website. That photo has to be a fake. Noone puts plastic holds on real rock. Except maybe the french. :lol:

this is the way they play the game in europe. Tony Yaniro held one of these "outdoor" comps in Castle Rocks, Idaho in the 80's, complete with bolt-on holds in natural rock. He sucks. Font is chipped. Ceuse is chipped. Europe is chipped. Dont kid yourselves.
