I never thought anyone would be interested in the gory details of an approach or bushwack, but I'm starting to think I was mistaken. Maybe I should start posting separate route pages or trip reports on approaches. It used to be OK, I mean at least Sihler could tell how he was trampled by grizzlies on his hill-walks, but it's been getting out of hand lately. I understand some people are interested in hill walking only, that's fine, but could it have it's own spot?

No offense to the author, but it seems pretty weak. I think it's pages like this where the trail is obvious, there are no pictures to even portray the views, and is mentioned already on the mountain page.

Yeah, that's what I'm on about. Area-crag-route. It still shows up under 'routes', along with trails, senic overlooks, etc.. And I realize this whole thing is essentially low-level wanking. I just wish the goddamned elves, with all the extra time they have on their hands, would have the common decency to reorganize the database to make it slightly more useful to me! Ok, that should have been ALL CAPS, but I'm feeling too petulant to retype it.

No worries, I hear what you are saying...but noticed you voted (thus kind of encouraged) a fellow member who did just that...his/her pages had no votes prior to that....after you voted 10/10...I voted 1/10 and asked him/her to move the single pitch (including a 5.0 toprope as I recall) descriptions to the crag page he/she created....if folks could just focus on what the user needs...in terms of what they can contribute...would be a better site right then and there....it is up to the membership at large to have the balls to dish out constructive criticism to corral such contributions and head folks in the right direction.
I have always been outspoken about the bs on this site, whether it be Antonio Giani's fetish with the POTD manipulation or Vid Pogachnik's cronyism when it comes to his front page sections....but it is up to the rest of you to actually challenge and/or change these behaviors. As I have said many times, the tools are there to do so.

I don't know about the OPoster, but it's one that irritates me. For purposefully wanting to irritate.
