Mt Evans and Mt Bierstadt across a Class 3 ridge, which was miserable
because it was storming, but still an epic and gratifying climb.
That's funny. I'll bet he never thought that anyone would actually look up a picture of his EPIC hike. There are roads in Minneapolis with Class 3 potholes that look worse than that hill. Add a storm and traffic to the mix and that's danger.Freakzilla wrote:Can we strike 'epic' from the English language please?
If you use your hands, how do you hold the dictahike?Class 3 Scrambling or un-roped climbing. You must use your hands most of the time to hold the terrain or find your route. This may be caused by a combination of steepness and extreme terrain (large rocks or steep snow). Some Class 3 routes are better done with rope.
I can see that.Scrambling
Mountains are epic. Bulls are epic.The Bierstadt-Sawtooth ridge requires some Class 3 scrambling, but the ledges across the west face of The Sawtooth are much easier than they appear from the trailhead.

Fucking hell these bots are good.Bronso wrote:Old thread, and diverged from the original discussion...
But I just can't resist pointing out that a person using the words of positive critics as proof of the invalidity of the words of negative critics sounds like something Frank Herbert would have used to characterize a character as...shall we say...not very adept?

For clarity I should point out that I was harping on the original post. I realized I had to come back and point that out because the original poster is obviously a KJA fan...yet the insult was one with subtlety which required comprehension and thought on the part of the insulted in order to know they were being insulted. I daresay assuming that those two things would go together was a noob mistake, it won't happen again.Bronso wrote:Old thread, and diverged from the original discussion...

Not only was he a fan, he directly profits from the hack's work. He's a shill and betrayed his grandfather's legacy for a few bucks.Bronso wrote:For clarity I should point out that I was harping on the original post.

Yeah, it would just be him eating cereal in his robe and then going to the bank to cash a check. Every month or so he would check his forum to make sure that none of us came back.D Pope wrote:I think Byron would be good as a reality show.
That and his self righteous indignation when haters ask him about the mysterious pre-scattering that took place during Leto IIs reign.Nekhrun wrote:Yeah, it would just be him eating cereal in his robe and then going to the bank to cash a check.
