How high is your modulus of knobularity (aka coefficient of prickishness)?

It is impolite to answer a question with a question. I never attacked first: always responded.

Enkidu wrote:desperate attempts

It is unethical to mock someone who is desperate. Are your attempts to prove that 3 yards are more than 30 yards solidly successful?

Watch your language.

It will be interesting to see what you have got this winter, or are you afraid of climbing in winter?

timely bump Simkin.
folks on Mountain Project are very interested in your videos, your solo methods, and your day on Cathedral Peak last weekend.

Here is one for you, I climbed Mt Whitney from car to car in 4.5 hours including a mountain sickness rescue.

But I did not count my climb of the class 3 Mountaineers route as a free solo. I haven't seen anybody do it with a rope.

You apparently did the class 1 route. Good time: took me 2-3 times longer. But it has more to do with running a marathon than free climbing.

It is more like the following. This is not the first name that came to my mind but I foresee skepticism and bringing up experiences with irrelevant people so I chose to spare myself from it.

Anyway, Marie Antoinette went to the guillotine on her own not because she had strong hinder legs. And many of those executed during Thermidore had to be dragged to the guillotine not because they were physically weak. In contrary, many had been muscular and offered physical resistance. So it is more like that.

Simkin, the climbing world is in love with you.

I don't understand how you could fall off Cathedral peak. Imagine if you were climbing something real and did that.

So which one is that?

Yea, not when you are climbing trade routes and getting in everybody's way and making a fool of yourself. Go learn how to rock climb man. Jump on something big and there won't be a rope there to save you. If you fall off crystal crag and Cathedral peak then I would stay clear of snake dike if I were you.

Burchy will take you out. He lives near LA.

Ha, I wouldn't go near this kook. My guess is we won't have to wait long, and this issue will resolve itself.

A kook because did not do what your friend had wished?

I said "slip", not "fall" as in lose < tissiack > 2014-10-16 14:48

your balance, recover, and shit your pants in fear.

By that you mean fall off, but luckily you had a rope to grab?

No, a kook because of the hilarious circus of a person you appear to be. These videos you post and all your "bold statements" about climbing are embarrassing at best, and you seem to be so proud and sure of yourself. It's amazing.

It looks like...

Near Miss on Cathedral Peak

That incident was embarrassing to free solo climbing community. Amen!

Give him a break, he is training to do snake dike.
