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 

Unless you are

Not saying jugging El Cap is an easy feat. Just commenting on the loose term of “climbing” and the celebration of pampered jugging ascents.

Trumpers are icky but the left isn't that impressive either. Too many payoffs, backroom deals and subsidies to billionaires to even list from both sides, orange man spent 8 years learning the tricks of the trade and he is using that knowledge now. Politics in general are icky, hopefully the orange politician doesn't get us into deeper shit than he already has, I prefer having affordable costs of living so I can work less, climb more and hopefully have a place to live when I'm really old  (many old folks around the world have nothing but dictators and war)

AOC is hard to argue against in Hip high jeans and has the civil service to back it up 

The standard descent at Pierces Pass in the Blue Mountains is 2x50m rappels and the ​absolute lengths ​​​​​people will go to, to avoid bringing a second rope or learning to use a tag line. These posts are weekly. I can't imagine begging on the internet to borrow another party's rope for a descent, total ick.

But like I know one of these people, and they're a better and more experienced climber than me. Am I crazy, or are they crazy!? Is this acceptable practice?

• Rattlesnakes in the brush next to the trail or base of the crag
• A fresh turd on the ground, especially if there's still a lot of that olive color
• Smokers
• People that bolt a route but leave a blank spot because you could fiddle in a piece 
• Central Banking/FIAT
• Democrats 
• MAGA/GOP
• Anyone who gets elected because they want to force people into living under their rules. That's sociopathy.
• Michael J Fox
• The Investor Class, especially the Boomers who hollowed out everything their children needed for a self sufficient society for a slight bump on their portfolios ROI. Actually, this on should be up at the top but still under rattlesnakes.
• People who kill rattlesnakes

How dare you.

To be clear, it's because of his lack of Elvis-ness.
