Sorry everyone, I forgot to mention that I'm waiting for Rgold's advice and his advice alone. I guess I should have mentioned it when I started the thread. I realize that these 14 pages of contributions are basically a total waste but, I did want you to feel like you were doing well and why I let you all continue. A for effort!

Nate, you are really good at this. Hope to see more of your work in the forums in the future.

The best climbing pants are the shiny ones.

Now would be a perfect time to let the cat out of the bag:

I'm Aleks Zebastián!

Notice how I added the accent so it would throw you off? 

Ok. Ok. I'm not Aleks. Or am I? 

climbing friend,

I am quite fantastich, yes? But you may not pretend to be me. "This aggression will not stand, man."

If you can't send the 12s, please keep your shirt on.

Dynamic cordalette is superior to static and much safer : )

Also, only noobs use cordalettes, real crushers build anchors from the rope(always, no exceptions).

If you have to project the easiest moves of a route for an hour on toprope, you have no business on the climb. Let the 20 people behind you have a turn. Also, stick-clipping and pre-hung draws invalidate your ascent, and you didn't onsight it if there were bolts and/or chalk showing you the way.

Bursh is a mentally stable human being.

Hueco Tanks needs to be shut down to all climbing. The preservation of Indian art and artifacts is far more important than pebble wrestling.  It is also an overrated Sh*&@T show that is soft for the grades and a drain on the Texas park system.

Do you want to be fought, bro?

You do realize the second most famous V2 is there, right?

if you're not agreeing then yerrrrr out. I don't make the rules Tardban does 

I feel my ears burning.

All kidding aside, I'm not that into climbing.

No human is stable... to be human is to be unstable.

There is not a single reason to pack out your food scraps.  Food scraps are actually good, as long as you toss them far enough from a trail or bury them.  Burying your food scraps and other waste in your neighbors yard is also a nice gesture.

Inspired by a tactic I used that actually worked.

Don't like the trolls? Here's an idea, don't respond. I think that idea is well known but rarely practiced so here's a thread where all of you who just can't help yourselves can practice some self control.

Here's the deal. I post outrageous opinions and you simply don't engage in the debate. Other trolls are encouraged to chime in with their own trolling. Extra points if you can troll me into a debate.

One rule, it has to be climbing related.

Ok, I go first, this one is easy.

Climbing in Yose sucks because it's overrun by noobs and is a total shit show. "That place is too popular, nobody climbs there anymore".

I see the irony in your thread - yet I still posted.

I'll call him and tell him you are waiting. . . And he will say 

Grow a pair

If every out of towner who climbed at Devils Lake put just one bolt in each time they visited it could be a pretty OK place to climb.

Bouldering is the holy grail of climbing

You don't need to yell at the crag.  Radios are a much better way to communicate with your belayer.
