No he hasn't. That's a vicious rumour.

He's taken up rollerblading.

Well, it would prove at least as much as chockstone ranting and posturing, and I reckon it'd be substantially more fun......and with the bonus of beer at the end.

Bummer about your back, maybe Wendy would be keen to sub for you?

What a pile of wank! Every post expresses an opinion, the fact that it is an opinion can be assumed. Proceeding ones opinion with IMO is only relevant in that it identifies people who think that sometimes their opinions are something other than opinions. Proceeding one's opinion with the word humble does not make the opinion humble, humble people probably don't post at all!

Research? Christ! banging chockstone through a wordsearch is a five minute exercise in proving nothing....I really hate the f---ing social "sciences"

I've got a bit of a feeling that Wendy could probably row through a few pitches at Arapiles fairly quickly...

Well, that would just take all the fun out of things wouldn't it! I expect all punters to base their assessments of relative climbing skill from the respective spray they read on chocky....c'mon, you do it subconsciously anyway!

What's your problem mate?

I've found myself in a spot where climbing has become a touch boring, and I'm looking for ways to spice it up. Bob has come up with a top idea to have a bit of fun, outdoor style comp climbing where the prizes are honour and beer. So, I extended the challenge to a few folk who I thought might be up for it (and won't totally kick my arse).

It's got nothing to do with you, so why do you feel the need to get involved?

Sorry ODH, speed climbing's not my thing, and dares are not really my form of conflict resolution, not to mention that I'm one of the trio of natimuk cripples at the moment. Actually, I think we are more than a trio ... and how did I end up getting labelled a bossy, elitist, crag owner anyway?

I think this is quite funny. Both haha funny and retarded funny, making it super duper double funny.

In regards to officially flaming Neil, he smells funny & has a whole lot of energy. Much like myself, really. I don't agree with everything he says, does, or bolts but theres lots of rock around. I can see where Ado is coming from and I agree that (without having read it) its unlikely to be a true representation of recent happenings in the BM as much as 'where has Neil been bolting' but I somehow fail dismally at getting annoyed by that. I wouldn't date the guy (not even with a shave & tuck) but I'm happy with him on the other end of my rope any day.

To save me double posting, I'm officially stoked than I'll be kicking off 5 weeks crankin in Greece in a few days. Also stoked on the crew which incls a couple strong poms, a mexican named Jacqui, an eccentric named Mikl & his better 1/2 Madame Ness.
Also stoked on the massage I am about to recieve!

Josh, just to give fair warning, Norm Booth and Ray Lassman are going to be unleashed on Kalymnos at the same time. It'll be just like being on the crags in Aus.
