Let us not go there.

Climbin at the Pins is all that really matters.  Bolts or no bolts.

F4 go climb HSMS, RB, CC, or TD and have your self some fun.

Lottsa things I could call Dennis Erik, including:

1. Excellent friend;
2. Crotchety;
3. Great climbing partner;
4. Old;
5. Bad-ass leader;
6. Ugly

Sport climber or even almost sport climber do not come to mind. Not even way down the list.

Perhaps #6 works.  I managed to lead a 5.8, which isn't so badass, but thank you none the less.

[mungeclimber]

what about Feral?
 

[mynameismud]

If he is a sport climber, kill him!

Finally a thread about climbing! Why go to RC and ruin a healthy debate?

Isn't there a little sport climber in all of us?? We all have some lycra in the closet. Some like Squiddo may have more. Heck I think Munge still has his JRAT capris.....

Sport climbing? Remember how high the first bolt on Monolith Direct is? Well, Mr. Mud skipped that one (he didn't see it). It made other people watching on the ground very nervous.

No, the 1st bolt is WAY left off the deck and then you traverse back and up. That's what I was told by 2x knuckle heads back in '89.....

1st bolt is to the right and always has been, I think you got a bit turned around.  Either that or some sport climber was giving you beta.
 

What happened to the good old days when sport climbers and trad climbers agreed to hate each other, yet still drank together.   All this political correctness is ruinging it.  Now we have to talk nice but can actually hate each other.

Somehow things got turned around.

I still have the hang dog hunters chair of choice, so watch out!

Actually I'm serious. 2 knuckleheads I met once complainted about a route at the monolith and how the bolts were messed up. Later, when I saw what they were talking about I just about crapped my pants. They traversed over to Subterranean and then BACK over and up. Thank god for guidebooks, honest guidebooks.

That sounds a  bit crazy.
