Starting Out? Go to Pawtuckaway...
|
Oh fuck off all you "hardcore climbers" that can enjoy a day of getting a bunch of SHIT climbing in. I work my ass off 5 days a week and get to deal with the SHIT New England weather on my weekends. When there is 1 god damn day of sun and dryness in a 2-3 week period for me, I'm not going to fucking waste my time driving 3+ hours down to Land of Secret Awesome Boulders only to trudge around, have trouble finding anything interesting, and leave completely discouraged for a 3+ hour drive home knowing I could have gone to Pawtuckaway. |

If you cannot find anything interesting at Farley with out a guide book you have problems. The rock is arguably the best place to find hard lines there is still tons of new things to be done. What happened to the idea of going climbing with out having every hold and move listed out and a Vwhatever grade given to it? Maybe its hard, maybe its not fun is fun regardless. |

Eddy, man, not sure where all the anger is coming from. The beta for Farley was posted here and I sent it to you by PM. You can certainly choose to climb wherever you want... |

You can certainly choose to climb wherever you want...Sorry but I really hate the "you're only a real climber if..." or the "why don't you just climb in a gym then" mentality. Its bullshit. Comments like: "Farley is amazing... If you're unwilling to explore areas or don't like that sort of thing, one should really consider staying in the gyms at the least. Obviously if you want to have an 'agenda' and make the world and area fit into your nice little box with a guide to coddle you around an area, sometimes you miss out on life." "you need someone the climb the problem for you also?? kids today: they want to swallow, but they don't even know how to chew . ed "who doesn't enjoy wankers who demand a "guarantee " e " "Deserved response.. They need to unwad their panties and simply go. and then, realize those NE Bouldering guidebooks they scheme thru like bibles- have the cover graced with a Farley classic....." Don't do anything but make the poster feel like they are better than someone else. Cool, congrats, I'm glad that you can do that, but that's something I do within my own fucking state. Like an hour away. Not 3+ hours drive, 6+ hour round trip. If I want to spend my 1 day of outdoor climbing going somewhere with a guidebook, I'll fucking do it. It doesn't make you a better climber than me. It doesn't make me a gym rat. It doesn't make me someone who "needs to unwad my panties" or be "coddled" (I have done my fair share of searching for/cleaning off/FAing boulders THANK YOU) IT MEANS IM A PERSON WITHOUT MUCH TIME. It means I'd rather my 3+ hour trip be an area I can get a FULL day of climbing without hiking and looking for 3 hours and climbing for just 1 hour. Now if any of you jackasses had been actual good people (like Joe M) and maybe, I don't know, offered to climb with me and be a guide, give me ANY kind of beta or resources to use, then I wouldn't be mad. But no, I get assholes telling me to unwad my panties. Don't fucking tell me to "stay in the gyms". |

I can guaran-fucking-tee you that you will find interesting things to climb by just showing up at Farley and walking up to the cliff\boulders. 100% worth the drive. I have been on five occasions, none of those with any beta other than my own, and had a blast, bouldering, sport, and trad. Just dont expect to be able to claim any ticks hereon MP. Again, not sure where the anger is coming from. If you hate the weather in new england, move to J-tree. We don't need angry climbers in new england. That's the realm of Colorado ( wink wink ) |

That's the realm of Colorado ( wink wink ) I'm sure many on here (including myself) frothing at the bit to share with anyone the total radness that is the 250 or so established routes and problems at Farley would have loved to PM you maps, route info, topos, and all manner of beta; this is the norm when dealing with such a sensitively accessible spot. buuuut then you went and came across as an asshole.I came across as an asshole after being insulted by other assholes. Apparently you don't want angry climbers in NE, but are perfectly okay with everyone who was a complete dick to me before I got angry. I got 3 responses that contained ZERO HELPFUL INFORMATION and instead were clearly made to insult me. Thats why I reacted as I did. If people were so "frothing at the bit" they would have responded with all those things you said INSTEAD OF TELLING ME TO GO CLIMB IN A GYM OR UNWAD MY PANTIES. Is it really that fucking unreasonable to be mad when I have people telling me shit like that? |

You have to run your mouth and write insulting nonsense to be an Internet hardman. Maybe if you would have posted all that information and wrote something like " God I found these directions in like two seconds. Go back to the gym where you belong!" At the end then you would've got some recognition. |

In real life, pretty much every climber I've met has been cool, so the rhetoric just goes in one ear and out the other... |

UNWAD MY PANTIES, Dude, you wear panties? |

No where in this thread does it mention how they let people climb there until you said it just now. I was under the impression they did NOT allow climbing and that all the local climbers were holding on to it as a secret (which is what all posts before mine insinuate). So what if I'm not a fan of secret areas. Its my opinion. When I clearly outline the fact that I have LIMITED TIME for climbing outdoors and that LIMITED TIME is often hampered by New England weather, I don't expect to get told to go climb in a gym, unwad my panties, or get told I want to be coddled when I post that I'm not interested in an area that may be tough to day trip. Seriously, though. Why dont YOU go back and read my post. Why the fuck does saying I have limited time to climb and thus wan't some sort of guarantee (and YES there are fucking guarantees in climbing) warrant an insulting response? You people up on your high horses are fucking ridiculous. Elitist jerks is all you are. I'm looking to CLIMB on my CLIMBING day trips. Not explore. And I'm not looking to be insulted for wanting to fucking climb somewhere on a climbing forum. |
