It's fallen even lower than that, it's in the toilet now. Which ones are the best pages?

I think it is shameful to lie and crap in pants like you do.

In another thread they mentioned a famous free solo climber who got killed on a class 3.

All he needs is a cows tail on his harness with a bit of gear so that if he is going to fall off he can just plug in and be safe.

Another lie. In none of the climbs shown in the videos that I posted I used any help from anybody. Except the one with Helicopter rescue where it is mentioned in the title.

How did the rope taste?

Oh yeah, the old "where is the video" requirement of proof.

Yes, we understand now that all those witnesses on Cathedral are liars because they aren't GoPro-wearing egomaniacs and couldn't video your douchebaggery.

I'd always wondered what it would be like to run into you in the mountains, and the truth is not far from my imagination. You'd be a riot if you weren't putting others in danger. :roll:
