what is the big deal? is it in the way of anyone?

Greg D · Joined Apr 2006 · Points: 883 Sep 25, 2012 · Here Keep eldo clean and beautiful. Its not a place for fixed crap! Anyone that thinks their project on some silly variation is so important that they are entitled to leave a fixed rope surely doesn't get the spirit of eldo. The nerve of some people really bunches my panties.

i am sure the fella will move his rope.



and by the way, i think he has the spirit of eldo,

having done more than most of us ever will there,

and living there, and doing first ascents there, etc.



for all you people know, he could be working on cleaning

a new route for you all to enjoy safely..

It's raining down here in the Springs right now. Is this rope also getting wet up there? Does it have a good, quality dry treatment? I find other so-called dry treatments just are not up to snuff.

Threatening online to jack a rope with accountability, hating on people owning up to what they're doing honestly, just generally being walking talking excuses for cold sores- Golden Fuckface Award goes to the first person in this forum to set themselves on fire. The rest are second best. Hey, what's new on Oprah's book club list, you walking testosterone cases? I live in Eldo and I'm not a hairless ballsack... awwww man I live in Eldo and I'm not a hairless ballsack... awwww man

Joe Huggins · Joined Oct 2001 · Points: 105 Sep 25, 2012 · Grand Junction I am going to weigh in here to tell you guys that EDJ is a no shit badass. He's working on a New Route that most of you could only dream about. Stop bitching. It will be great. Or,maybe you only like pre-approved, helmet friendly, not-too-runout, past achievements...

I've stayed out of this until now.

Working a route I could only dream of?

You mean a rehearsed headpoint?



Yawn... No matter the grade. It's been done if it isn't 5.15.



That is your values and perhaps his. And other people may or may not be impressed. If you expect them to value your goals, perhaps you should acknowledge that theirs are different.



Different strokes for different folks.

It is amazing how people try to legitimize their actions. In some cases, others will do it for them.



What I love about Eldo... it is one of the best preserved areas anywhere, ethics, style, history. But, the Boschefellers and the Hiltionians are pressing in. It is unlikely anybody will be impressed by some 5 whatever, rehearsed headpoint. But, if edj is so BA, then it should only take minutes to ascend the nearest route and set up said fixed line. Then, remove at the end of the day. Nobody will have a problem with that. Style kids, style. Thanks for that Tony. Well said.It is amazing how people try to legitimize their actions.
