Things that give you "the ick"

Mute warm hot takes 

excessive slack, especially low down on the climb, gives me "the Ick"

going for the jug or jam and finding slime.

You’ll love this. One of my partners ran into him yesterday on pitch 4 of moonlight buttress. He was on his second day, with 2 guides aid climbing the route and hauling 5 fucking bags and 3 portaledges. Apparently the guides decided to unionize around p5 and quit so Joe said “ok we’re going to the shuttle” and the guides said the fuck you are you’re helping us carry this 1000lb of gear you made us haul down dumbass.

Nice work Joe! Another embarrassing circus on another classic! 

HE CALLED THE NEWS ON HIMSELF AGAIN HOLY SHIT

Those poor kids are going to grow up having seen their father’s actions as appropriate ways to conduct themselves with their children, and society in general…and more likely than not, emulate him. This is how society deteriorates.

Learning steps instead of understanding systems

Are we talking about the Baldwins?

When people use "casual", "romp", etc. to describe their long day out.  We get it everything was so easy for you

Wow.  Check out the vomit-inducing cringefest that is his / the kids IG comments.  Didn't know bots had private parts to suck but that guy is apparently trying! e.g. on the MB American flag post-

@logandow_81139 Love the patriotism, god bless America!

@samueladventure you seem cool so we followed you back! It’s important that we teach our boys how to contribute.

@logandow_81139 I agree 100% you guys are awesome!

@samueladventure why thank you!

He has created various social media accounts for his boys, and it's bloody obvious that he is the sole person behind those accounts. They are pretty much his sock puppet accounts.

You think an 8 year old is going to create an account on BOOMERBOOK, and then proceed to respond to comments criticizing the shit they did on El Cap?!

Ah, that Joe guy... Here's a gem from fall '22 when he claimed that his son was the youngest person to climb El Cap. Then he got schooled on the fact that jugging up a fixed line does not equal climbing 

They’re all idiots bro. They don’t understand. Also those flags kinda deserve to be held upside down rn. The government has no respect for the land. 

Ripping out pages of a physical guidebook to take along with you to the crag

tbh this forum gives me the ick but im addicted to icky things i guess

This week in the gym the person a couple of routes over fell while on TR. They were only 10'-15' off the deck. I did not think much of it even though they said to let them down as their finger was bleeding. They wandered off to take of their finger.

A few minutes later I was about to start up a different route when one of the person's partners said "I hope you are not planning on getting on that climb," pointing to the first draw on the route. There stuck on the carabiner gate was a flap of skin about .5" wide and 1.5" long. Ick I did not need to see that.

Epilogue - the gym crew showed up, took pictures, gloved up, climbed up, removed the flapper from the carabiner, disinfected the carabiner, took more pictures, disposed of the bodily parts.
