In reply to: In reply to: Are we really going to open this old can of worms again? Oh goody--lets relive this embarrassing RC.com moment once more, for another meaningless 10 or 20 pages. absolutely. we need to new material over at b.com to use in our endless mocking of you guys.
Have they gotten to where they can speak the site's name without resorting to the equivalent of saying "down there" when you mean vagina?

In reply to: In reply to: Brutus has been pestering me to try the Yates Adjustables, which will negate this issue for me. entirely. Didn't Pitons Pete bust his leg when one of those ripped on him?
Not exactly. His was a well-worn Metolius adjustable daisey which is only rated at 300lbs brand-spankin-new. He has admitted on other forums that he should have been retired his set. The Yates adjustables, along with the Fish and others of similar design are rated stronger, but still shouldn't be used as part of your safety system; only as part of your movement system while aiding.

In reply to: You posted a racist "joke" and I called you on it. It is you who owes the apology, not me.
You are a knucklehead jay...nobody's race was ever mentioned.
Okay, back to your brownnosing.

NJC was a chosspile in the late 80's and still is.
I will never apologize for something that wasn't wrong Jay. I know that this is the internet but in my years on this site you are probably the most condescending "stuck-on-yourself" guy here. If you are so darn good, why don't you let your actions speak for themselves instead of tooting your own horn all the time and trying to make other people feel stupid.
People have told me that you are cool in person but why are you such an egotistical ass on this site?

No need to wait! Or even go back to that route. Just photoshop this pic. Chop this hasbeen's head off and put yours on. It's the same route, just a few feet higher. No one will notice, and I'm sure he won't mind. He's likely dead or in some rehab somewhere and will never know the difference.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: while he may be a wealth of information and be a super 5.13 climber rd bwahahahahaha i think to qualfy as a "super 5.13 climber" you need to be able to boulder B1 minus.
DENIED. In reply to: In reply to: veeeeeery funny jay. i have some amusing warm-up's you might enjoy this weekend..... Bob, it's bad enough that they're making me trad climb this weekend; there's no way I'm going to boulder too. -Jay Uhmmm.... Jay should have cleared this up... and owes me a apology! You said why you were bailing on the project was, you were "going to AZ to do some steep limestone". You are on the verge of doing your 1st 5.13, and now I find out, this way???, that you are going TRAD climbing? URRRRG!!!1 I'll send that thing this long weekend and be off to the next project and you won't have a belayer. HAHAHA!!!1 And this thing about being a "super 13 climber". Over the years I have rp'ed dozens of 13's, established a number of them and I'm not even a "low life 5.13 climber". The Hubar's and others at that caliber are "super 5.13 climbers", none of us are even close. In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: I was going to sandbag you by telling you that Carpe Diem is really 12a afterall, but then Pbjosh broke off the crux foothold, so I can no longer keep say it's 12a and keep a straight face. -Jay I did no such thing. I have broken several things off that climb but so far none of them have been important. Josh, on your last run, when you fell you broke off the right foot hold that tall people use to make the first crux move. I don't think you realized it, but I saw it happen and was the one who yelled "rock." Now you tall guys are going to have to use the hideous slopey foot hold that I use, or else do the insanely hard kalcario move. Of course you could always do the honorable thing and glue it back. -Jay In reply to: Come in to the shadows my young jeti... if you glue that foot hold back... your transformation will be complete! Oh yea... I thought about comming out to AZ.... climbsomethings suductive pm's almost lured me. Uhmmm... climbsomething!!! But.... the thought of hanging out with a bunch of washed up drunks, spraying about how good they used to be, kinda made me want to wrech. Wait a minute... I guess I owe an apoligy. Sorry curt, bvb and any other hasbeens that were offended by my insensitive remarks.
2) Jay IS a cranky son of a _______. No question. This is why I loves him.
3) tripperjism (hahahahaha) it's not too late! Now that the jeep has been repaired, yet again, (glory be!) you can, like my other homies and admirers, revel in my green Prana bra top. But I know you won't be drunk. Just looking for your scrib.
4) gee, Jay, that photo of you on the Action DOES suck...
5) I think it's time for this thread to go to community now ;)

I don't really think I'm all that good a climber, and I don't really think I "toot my own horn." Perhaps you can provide some examples.

In reply to: you called me a noob, theres 1 example. any one else?
I said you sounded like a know-it-all n00b was my parady of your saying you sound like a "crusty know-it-all" in one post in which you implied that if you're using your rope as an anchor, instead of cordelette, you're techniques are out of date. Sounds like your typical know-it-all n00b statement to me. But, regardless, how is saying that you sounded like a n00b tooting my own horn?
In reply to: I wanted to start a new thread about the use of cordelettes. I'm blown away at the # of people that say they don't climb with at least one. I always carry two on longer routes. For those of you who don't use them, I hate to sound like a crusty know it all, but I'd say it's time to re-evaluate your climbing systems. Don't take this the wrong way, I climbed for years before I clued in to how valuable of a piece of gear this is to your rack. This is not to harsh people, but to share knowledge. 1st of all, don't use the climbing rope in the anchor. You may end up needing it in the event of a rescue. And don't think that because it hasn't happened that it won't ever. 2nd, how do you pass knots or do raises or take a load off of the main anchor point without one. Not to mention it's much cleaner and faster for anchors. Anyway, let's see where this goes.
-Jay

I alway use my rope for an anchor along with slings and draws. I might be a has-been but I never thought my system was out of date. I agree with Jay, the guy does sound like a NOOB-known it all. I wonder how long he has been climbing?

Only if you think that 5.12 is a big number.
Of course, if you knew the real story about how that user name came about, you wouldn't think I was "tooting my own horn."

In reply to: So Jayn ow you`ve piqued my interest, how did the 512 get into your user name.
In the early days of rc.com I used "jtanzman" as my user name, just as I have on every other internet forum I have participated in the last 10 years, because I think internet handles are silly, at best; cowardly, at worst. Anyway, I used that name for maybe a year, until one day, due to some malfunction of the site, I couldn't log on under that name. So I changed it to "jay." That worked for one log-in. Next I used "jst." Again, one log in. This continued until, after several months, I ran out of permutations of my own name and initials, so I picked "jt512" out of the blue, not giving it much thought, figuring that it would be just another one-time log-in anyway. As luck, be it good or bad, would have it, that's when the computer glich got fixed, and I've just used it ever since.
Some people who can't climb 5.12 (yet) think I'm bragging, but I can pretty well assure you that anyone who is serious about it, can sport climb 5.12, and when you get there you find it's just another number. I was at Charleston a couple weeks ago and was just about the weakest climber at the crag. Anybody who gets egotistical about their climbing grade just needs to look around a bit.

A little more on this 5.12 crap. I did my first one in 1978. It is now 2004. Standards have gone up with the help of sticky shoes, hangdogging, bolt protection and indoor climbing. I agree with Jay that a fair amount of people who stick with it and try hard can climb "sport" 5.12. Now trad-5.12. That's a whole different ballgame.
