I occasionally scroll through chockstone, maybe once every few months. Each time I do though I get the same vibe. A handful of frequent fliers just waiting to pounce and tell everyone else they're an idiot for something. It's really tedious. I could name names but just read any thread and you'll see them all. Do you people ever climb? Do you climb just so you can post things on here and get cred? Seriously pathetic some of the stuff that goes on here, takes me back to year 4.
Andrew, I like your comments because they reflect what I think each time I read anything on here. The same few jump in and hijack it all.
And regarding the bolts at the horn, I was climbing there a few weeks back and although I agree with all the ethic blah blah, my wife was stoked to find that bolt on the flake on the pintle LHV. If it really disturbs you, don't clip it. It's a 16 or whatever it is, a real feather in the cap. Why not make it a bit more pleasant for some begginners. She loved it.
Anyway, onward with the criticisms and slagging. I'll log on in a few months and I'm sure I'll find the same old.
Cheers Andrew,
