Slightly OT but the possibility for real change. Sign the petition on change.org to make Colorado great again!

I am not opposed to building a wall on the Kansas and Utah borders(including Moab of course, its pretty much part of Colorado anyways). We will definitely let tourists in, but if a VW bus has lots of luggage and smells like incense, sorry you got to go around.

Together lets make Colorado Great Again!!! change.org/p/gov-john-hicke…

4th generation?? big whoop. everyones a freakin transplant. I just moved out west from CT and when i say I'm a new local people tell me I have to wait a decade before i can call myself that. I lived in VT for 2 years and those folks take "local" seriously. If your family lived in VT for 10 generations but you happened to be born at dartmouth (just over the NH line) you are not a local, doesnt matter. Everyone in the west is a freakin transplant! Hell, everyone in merica is a transplant!

I can't remember who said this, but we are all human.

Wait...this is a joke, right? If so, it's hilarious. If not...it's even funnier.

You will be happy to know then that you wouldn't catch me even thinking about moving to Colorado. Yea, Pagosa was a nice place to visit when I lived in New Mexico but there are other places in the U.S. with less traffic, same weed laws, better cost of living and you also don't have to wait in lines to ski or climb.

So you can keep it.

Yeah...not gonna lie, if it weren't for my wife's family being in this area, I'd be in Boulder tomorrow. That rock, though...

That video is sooooo damn true. I live in hipster central just North of Downtown. I voted for legalization but man I wish other states would well.

The dig at Focus on the Family is lame though. But I guess to a simple mind not being full tilt on abortion is equivalent to enslaving women. Guess they are unaware about how women are treated in all the Muslim countries in Europe.

What I was trying to say is that Pagosa was super nice and I enjoyed my couple of visits there! Nothing bad to say about it! Wolf Creek had some of the best snow I've touched in CO with little to no people. I was referring to everywhere else (namely, the Front Range) you have to wait in traffic, then wait in line to get on a pitch/lift. I was living in New Mexico at the time of my Pagosa visits which, if I ever move back to the four corners region is the place to be. Seriously? New Mexico is outrageously beautiful with an amazing, small, unpretentious climbing community. The FA's coming out of Roy and Nosos/La Madera are amazing and will continue for decades. Enchanted Tower? Coolest feature ever. Last Chance Canyon? Many will agree that it's the best limestone in the U.S. Sorry that you thought I was insulting your cool town of Pagosa Springs. But I am glad we can all agree that I am not wanted in Colorado.

What the fuck are you talking about, dude? Muslim countries? What does that non-sequitur have to do with Focus on the Family? You wanna turn this into a pro-choice/pro-life debate? Sounds like a blast for a climbing website. For the record, Focus on the Family is a stain on your state my man and you should avoid even mentioning their name. Besides being anti-choice, they support abstinence only sex-education (doesn't work), creationism (not real), school prayer (muslim countries you say?) and oppose any rights for LGBT couples (muslim countries you say?) just to name a few antiquated, medieval viewpoints. So I don't want to insult your opinions or anything but please leave medieval times and join us in the present, k?

So! ...let's change the subject. How about: how to clean a sport route? I heard you should always rappel because lowering is bad for the rappel rings. Or...does it count as a redpoint if you didn't hang the draws? Should I build my anchor with the rope? Are GriGris safer than ATCs? What kind of shoes/harness/belay device should I use? How about that local sports team?

I second that. they push a pretty extremist fundamentalist, anti-progressive, anti-equality agenda

Hey man, I didn't bring up Focus on the Family on a climbing website. I can't just let that slide. It had to be done. It's fine to be conservative (kinda, not really tho) but to even vaguely support that kind of regressive, back-ass-wards kind of social Christian bullshit has no place here. Ya feel?

But FUCK YOU AND ALWAYS RAPPEL ONLY WITH AN ATC AFTER HANGING THE DRAWS ON EACH ATTEMPT AND I ONLY WATCH SOCCER!! HAHAHAHA!!!

ONE LOVE <3

If you go to Colorado Springs, stay out of the Focus on the Family neighborhoods. Do no look them in the eye and make sure you women folk don't walk around the Springs in provocative clothing or by themselves and everyone should be alright. Just looking after you Ted.

Are you okay dude? For real. I bet we can get a posse together to come rescue you if we need to.

Oh trust me I'm doin' great. Bought my house in 2002, the people who will need rescue are the hipster I'll be renting my place out to in a few years trying to figure out whether they can afford that next size ear gauge after I jack up the rent.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
