The fate of climbs in our sport. Backed off on a stellar splitter this weekend. I just wasn't feeling it, what, with the 85 degree heat and 90% humidity. No matter how much chalk I had on my hands I couldn't get them to stay in the crack. It was a nasty fall onto some ledges and I didn't really want to risk it. Mundays, suck. That is all. Airation? Aeration ended with me having a nice bruise/ropeburn on my leg for the past two weeks. The one I wasn't feeling was an obscure 5.8 in Acadia. The heat and humidity were getting to me. And I didn't want to drag Christine up a climb that would trouble me. Instead I did an obscure link-up of 4 climbs. Doubt that I was the first, and from the looks on some guides' faces I doubt that I'll be the last. Stemming to stacked hands to ramp to two lieback/mantle moves. It's a way to circumvent the guides hogging routes. Gotcha. Good days, bad days, eh? BTW, in regard to a previous post, I'd love to get to the High Sierra. Fishhook Arete? Fishhook Arete falls under the same constraints of the unfathomable trail quota on the N. Fork Trail in Mt Whitney. Let me check the quota page and see what's avail. I wuz looking at it the other day, it no look so good. Couple mid-day day passes are all that's left. Of course, if yore on a road trip, that no matter. it shows overnights avail
There are a few other options.

Hummm.... AB, while I glad you guy's had a gud time at teh old new.... but after all of my rants on the OGBET and teh grupe on this subject, I didn't think I needed to remind you. but what is so fuking hard to understand about 'Don't fuking post pics of my new areas' on the internet? Now, I have mentioned that since we have some sort of privacy at teh grupe I don't mind them posted there. But every time a pic of my new stuff is posted on this site I get a shitload of inquires about my new areas from people I don't even know, of course I just ignore them, still I don't want to deal with it. Just so we are clear, Don't post pic's of the new areas. Don't spray to people about the new areas. Don't post or give out directions or route info to the new areas. I don't want them to be overrun with knuckleheads. I think it's cool to see our friends at the areas but how would your day been if there were 15 other guy's at the wall you went to, half of them dropping rocks down on you from the two easy routes on the right? The people that are suppose to be there, already know. The one that shouldn't be there don't need to know. I swear to god if me giving you and snoopy info on how to get to the old new and route info comes back to bite me, I'm going to be up inside your ass and I won't use any lube, so it's going to fuking hurt.
That is fuking all!!!1

If you wanna quit getting bugged by all those emails and stuff, you could just refer them to me, I'd be happy to share the second-hand information I've got.

How do think I knew that a pic had been posted, even before I got home to my computer? I guess climbers aren't as stupid in SoCal as they are in Maine?

You don't know squat stinky, so just stick your finger up your ass, so you feel wanted and try to pretend you're somebody and not just another fuking knucklehead. While your at it, try to figure out why you got booted from grupe...

I wouldn't say that climbers out here are dumber. You could have always maintained plausible deniability as to the development or knowledge of said area. Now that you've chimed up... that's a different matter.

While your at it, try to figure out why you got booted from grupe... noob donnynukklehed who doesn't climb hard (or hardly climbs at any rate) with an underdeveloped sense of humor and an inability to play well with others. I waste my time climbing other peoples routes, have only done a couple of ice FA's (which requires no extensive outlay of hardware to install, nor much else other than my standard ice rack, some extra webbing for rap slings, and a desire to solo climb fueled by emotional instability within relationships). Oh, and I don't blow you either.
On top of that, I barely have enough time to waste while I'm driving as it is. I've had enough close calls doin' 85 down the ennerstate, and I don't need to kill myself in a fukkin vehicle.
In summation:
You can keep your little grupe-grope to yerselfs, it's not like my brief time spent there warn't spent dewing much more than trying to piss off the establishment moderator king shit whoever anyweighs, which for all intents and purposes it would appear I was a success at.
Motion denied.
so... go bak to whining about your inability to keep your mouth shut about your little projekts. how you expect others to keep their mouth shut when you can't to begin with i don't understand. a secret is something only one person knows. your little 'spot' no longer qualifies. life is rough. deal with it.

Closures aren't common around here, but I've seen bigger and more rocks come off that face from goats on any given day. Besides there are "Watch for Falling Rock" signs all over that area. Just sayin' Tourons don't see it that way. They see climbers trundling rocks as wrecking stuff. And arguably it is a little reckless to be trundling when there are people around. It only takes one touron making a phone call to the wrong person to get the problems started. Yeah, but this one wasn't "trundling". He smeered up to the Block, looked at it and it released! He caught it on his shoulder. As for irresponsible rock release... the sheep there release H U G E rocks all the time. But, Tourons are dumb and we can all agree on that.
Also, I would have pegged you as having better judgment than the sheep and not been climbing there when it is high touron time.
Tourons are dumb, but they likely have enough money for good lawyers.
