- I hate all these #$%@ing trails, why don't we just pave them all.
- That way we can ride our skateboards and get on with the climbing instead
- of "wasting all our time and enthusiasm fiddling with all this walking shit"
-
- Matter of fact, I hate all this crack climbing anyway, why don't we just
- fill them all in, that way we can all do face :-}
-
- Get a life ... why don't you just outlaw the bolts too!, that way
- you wont have to waste your time fiddling around with ropes, crabs,
- etc...
-
- After all you're only in it for the CLIMBING experience -> do us a favor
- and take up free soloing :-)
