you don`t believe what happened yesterday, when I took the afternoon off to go bouldering in the nice sun shine at HAARDT near Bad Dürkheim Pfalz. some faschist assholes put vaseline on the prominent holds of the nicest boulders 
also my do-before-30 project. destroyed day, mood down.
how can people spent their time destroying other peoples playground ????
can we not share the forest and the rocks?
there has always been trouble in this area, even magnesia forbidden (even though it is a harmless substance. fuck knows what they are thinking!!!) but this is too much.
what a pitiful existence to enjoy destroying other peoples pleasure.
i am a pacifist flower-power girl but if i find this person (most likely elderly german "rentner" with much time and much hate in his black heart) ... i don´t know he`d wish to go to war with the bikers as they don`t hit that hard...
i don`t know if i ever felt so insulted and discriminated. i love these rocks how dares somebody do that to my babys. may rocks fall on his head.
if somebody does that to my most favourite boulders (20 km away at kalmit) it will be war!
for bouldering we only need some rocks shoes and chalk. if i do car racing, biking, ice hockey, i destroy so much more of the environment. it is my fucking RIGHT hang out in the forest and on the rocks in my home area. i don´t mind sharing with everybody else, but they should fucking share with me too.
but: if all climbers and boulderes were as nice and respectful to humans and nature as they should... we probably wouln`t have that problem now.
excessive use of chalk, large tickmarks, shouting and insulting hikers: this is what a lot of (esp. younger "indoor" climbers) do, that is why there is war now !!!!!
so far i always said live and let live. now if i see somebody doing that shit, i will tell them off.
i don`t wanna give fucking faschists a reason to smear vaseline on my boulders.
sorry for the long post and thanx for listening

Wow, that sounds like the assholes here who run around and paint red dots and route names on every crag (bad joke I know). But seriously, thats pretty pathetic. But it is true, some people gain pleasure by giving other people pain. You should bring a golf club or large stick to the boulders with you

Greetings, Eurofreaks!
I posted a thread here in the International forum about some logistics for a trip this summer to Cervinia (to climb Italian Ridge of Matterhorn) and Chamonix (Mont Blanc.) If anyone has a moment to read and offer feedback or input, I'd be most appreciative. PM replies are fine, if you prefer.
Thanks again!

bad durkhiem is known for issues. Don't forget people look at boulderers as destroyers of the view. The dirty and ugly white spots are not appreciated.
But smearing vaseline on them is stupid! Does remind me of the war in the 70's with oil in the route superlative, and so on.
Shame, i have enjoyed some nice days there.

Anyone want to climb at Font this weekend, and pick me up from a handy nearby train station?
Alternatively, Belgium would work for weekend, though I'm not quite clear on UA dates; train station would apply again.

Damn, i didn't read this, but i was at corneille (bomal) Good weather, good routes. Bwoah, are those routes hard sometimes. The old skool routes are graded so hard they are upgraded a full number nowadays.

In reply to: Anyone want to climb at Font this weekend
I'd be happy to but no car either. Can one go there by train? (Or rent a car for a day?)

Hmmh, thanks for checking weather, it does look horrible for weekend. Today is beautiful though, and Font has wacky micro-climate so can be fine while it rains an hour away. Saturday looks like might be ok.
Can definitely rent car, particularly if multiple people; little far to walk from train station :)

Hey, sorry I missed you folks. Unfortunately I was sick and way too busy to go climbing anyway; it was all I could manage to get in a little snowboarding, skiing, and hiking.

Still looks like great weather... but some ominous clouds, might be right about showers tomorrow.
Think I'll stay in city, see about next weekend.

well.... it has an origin. Two people have actually guessed it. The only hint I will give is that you will need to be familiar with early 80's BBC comedy.

hey alex,
we even like to do it to ourselves (which gets a bit confusing...is it pleasure or pain?) because (our)sports hurt per def.
do you know the one with the rat that has two buttons, one to get food and water, thew other one stimulating the brain via an electrode, so that the rat gets an orgasm 
guess what happened???

sigh.. nearly home time, so I can go home and look at my hangboard and try and get the motivation to train.

I am kind of happy, but although it was not wet, i also fell on the last move yesterday :-( , and today the sweet hurt of climbing hard is in my body. :-)

sweet hurt...dont we all love it .
i rather have my muscles aching than the f***tendons so.
but i was out jogging to the rocks and stretching (not as good as climbing but much better than telly!). was dry here too
to fall on the last move is always depressing, but we have to be patient. i wait for the moment, when the boulder is easy (at least at home) i rather come back three more times than fighting too hard...leaves you things to do and it is more fun. and the victory is sweet (as the pain to get there )...probably they are even connected...
@ all: thank god its friday
have a great weekend
