That king **** stuff is all in your head, I never said I thought I was and I don't. I do what it takes and strive for excellence in all aspects of things that I can control. I like to goof around, but am actually very humble.
Same here buddy, humble actually.
So you asked:
Why do you freeclimb? Let me try to explain, tell me if I am wrong. You do it cause its faster and easier which means less time. If it wasn't you wouldn't do it unless you did think you were king ****.
By the way, you really have no idea what's in my head but it wouldn't surprise me to know I know what's in yours. truth is nobody knows what is inside my head, not even me BUT
when I take the extra time to set up nice and tight like a proffesional should do and then some guy just comes along and CONANS it like you do well the man paying the wages looks for you over me.
So that is how you make me look bad. You can't tell me how smart you are if you don't know that simple thing. its like a builder who wants to build a house with no footer. Sure, it can be done but no professional would do it that way.
I did not always have the right people teaching me and since I didn't really know much back then I couldn't really tell the good from the bad. I was not stupid enough (close to it though) to follow guys like Kevin Moore to the hospital for a plastic hip ( he was my age back then).
I did risk my life plenty but this was not a professional thing. This work people like to construe as professional ( even me) and like them I want to go home at 5, not take an idiot to the hospital.
I guess with all your training they didn't mention the cycle times to failure when you freeclimb. It does vary with each person but still when a guy looks at the guy raping a tree faster than me who isn't tied in right and says to me " What took you so long?" I get PISSED.
Heck, one reason I never freclimbed more than a few feet off the ground was because there might have been the slimest of chances some newb sort would give my rope a tug... Yeah I have seen that too. And who knows the abilties of a rabid squerill. wait til you find that hornets nest, you might wish you had a line on then.
This is not argueing this is talking and relating. If you could give me (but you can't) a valid point I would listen and that is finally that.
I said " you don't look very well, you need help". He said " I am fine its nothing i can't handle." I left while he rolled off the filthy couch into a pile of puke and rot dripping a few drops of blood as the needle fell out of his arm.
