i did originally say that i was g...ha, no worries.<br /><br />i did originally say that i was gonna double post, as i figured there weren't many peeps reading THE DEALIO. whatever works with you is fine in that department.<br /><br />as far as trad goes, yeah, i'd say i'm a beginner, i've been placing pro for like 5-6 years, but i'm still a sport climber (looking to change that!). I did get more trad routes in this year than sport lines, and i'm happy about that, some of them are uber classics. <br /><br />at red rocks, the routes i climbed did not have good pro, or relied mostly on small wires/rp's, of which i do not own many and in turn made the climbing more run out. however, that's what i was looking for. I'm still working out a lot of head games, and i think i'll learn more from climbing such routes. <br /><br />but yeah! kick ass trip!t-rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843346509049131880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362975076247832754.post-62937308988166558222009-11-30T22:15:34.406-07:002009-11-30T22:15:34.406-07:00Marc -

It was simply my interpritation to your comments. <br /><br />Like i said, i'd do the same for you if i felt like you were getting the sharp end of the stick. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the high road. I feared my comments really could have gone south.<br /><br />DeanDean Lordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765684687399062026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362975076247832754.post-61797750057226624852009-11-30T21:45:31.140-07:002009-11-30T21:45:31.140-07:00Yea, well that didn't come out like I intended...Yea, well that didn't come out like I intended it to. <br />Tom, sorry for any hard feelings. The truth is that I'm psyched your getting after it and exploring all types of climbing, not just sport climbing! I, however, don't find Red Rocks "sketchy" per say. If you find it so, maybe we should brush up on your skills placing pro and anchor building. But, in the end, what does matter is that your getting out there and having fun and being safe!<br />Now, as far as the repetition of posts, maybe the best way to handle that would be to post a link to your personal blog on here. I read you blog and it's just not as fun to read the same post twice.

Why cou...Man, that kid kinda looks up to you, Marc. Why couldn't you just say.. "Hey Tom, psyched for you, bro." Or.. "Hey Tom, thanks for sharing your stories on this blog page." <br /><br />I thought your comments were somewhat arrogant and unsympathetic to his personal interprition of Red Rocks and the climbing there. <br /><br />Does it really matter enough to call him out for thinking the climbing at Red Rocks is sketchy when you don't generally think it to be? Or for doing you a favor by posting blog content here yet asking him to not regurgitate his adventures to an audience that may not even view his personal blog? <br /><br />If it was meant to be humorous it fell short when i read your comments. I consider Tom a good friend and really don't care to see someone basically suggest that he doesn't know what he is doing. <br /><br />Maybe i'm being an ass here by saying all of this, but i'd do the same for you, Marc.Dean Lordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765684687399062026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362975076247832754.post-15151678676230419582009-11-30T11:03:53.845-07:002009-11-30T11:03:53.845-07:00One thing I'll ask is that we refrain from rep...One thing I'll ask is that we refrain from repeating posts from other blogs... i.e. if you are an active blogger somewhere else, please do not regurgitate your post here.

Red Rocks is hard to beat. You use the term "sketchy" several times to describe the climbing there... That's funny, I wouldn't call Red Rocks sketchy, necessarily. For the most part I've found the gear to be pretty bomber and climbing extremely enjoyable. Maybe you need to brush up on your trad technique! ;) And to think most people say the grades at Red Rocks are soft...Marc Hanselmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689611210654251860noreply@blogger.com
