Not trying to be a dick, but is this just a thread you created to see how many people have been climbing longer than you have (1 year), but have not reached that 5.12 level. A way to toot your own horn per se. |

I tried to send a package to someone in Columbia once...epic, definitely harder than my normal method of FedEx or USPS stateside. I think I'd been climbing 12 years at the time. |
|
Ive done one 13b la violencia in el salto been climbing one and a half years. |
|
I sent a few packages to my home in the states while I was traveling in China. I forgot that I had put them in the mail and three months after I got home, bam Christmas in July. That was a pretty crazy send. I had been climbing for about a year at the time. |
|
I had a really epic send in Squamish. I tried to send a big box of my rope and rack to the B&B where my wifey and I were staying for our Honeymoon. Declared its value, the fucks at UPS said it was all good to go. |

Last year I sold a piece of really expensive electronics via insured UPS and when the box arrived, it looked as though UPS had tossed it off a cliff. Turns out they actually ran over it with the truck. Then they tried to wrap the whole thing back together with red duct tape. |

The buyer and I spent approximately 4 months going back and forth with UPS trying to get them to pay out on the insurance claim. Hardest send by far. I had been climbing over 10 years at that point. 4 months of e-mailing, gone to waste. I could have been out climbing instead.From what I gather, UPS is like Ceuse, but in the Himalayas. EPIC! |

Taxes man. Not the send itself so much as the preparation, so much spreadsheet endurance and financial technique required. I had to change my whole style, definitely a game changer for the american climber. |

It should be ..whats your hardest on sight. Most people can work a route to death and climb way beyond there actual comfort zone. I feel that onsight climbing represents ones true consistent ability. |

Greg D wrote:"This post violated Rule #1. It has been removed by Mountain Project." Can someone direct me to the "Rule Book". I've only seen "Guideline #1". Sounds like there is a guideline, ie, suggestion. But, if in someone's mind it has not been followed, then it is a rule and subject to long arm of the mp law makers. This is a serious question. I want to know where the rules are and if I have unknowingly agreed to them. I did read the "terms" of this site but still no rule #1.I think you meant to post that in this thread: mountainproject.com/v/what-… or this one: mountainproject.com/v/clean… |

No. I meant to post it here where it would actually get seen. Not there will it will disappear and not be seen. But, thanks for thinking you knew what I meant to do. |

Last summer I was in the US for a few months on a climbing trip and took the opportunity to get four pairs of shoes resoled for $40 instead of £40. But when I packed my bags to fly back to London I had bought so much stuff for my wife that I couldn't fit them in, and decided to stuff them into a small flat rate box and post them instead of paying extra to fly w/ an overweight bag. |
|
Had to send my girlfriend flowers...wouldn't say it was my hardest send, but certainly the most expensive. |
|
My proudest send was getting a black and tan coonhound by airmail from Oregon about 19 years ago. I didn't even start climbing until 4 years ago. |
