I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

From Easy Frag and Wildbeast to STFU and Campusman.

Sneaker shod climbers making ascents of the Bully line.

I watched artillery explosions glitter in the dark near the Hueco Tanks Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.




Time to die.

I remember when I was with the guys down at Joe's... seems a thousand centuries ago.

We went up in to the bolders to climb and we left the bolders after we had climbed all the easy problems,

and this old man came running after us and he was crying.

He couldn't see.

We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every chalked hold.

There they were in a pile. A pile of perfect jug holds.

And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother.

I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it.

I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot...

like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead.

And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that!

Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.

And then I realized they were stronger than we,

because they could climb those bolders without the jugs!

these were not monsters, these were men... trained climbers.

These men who climbed with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love...

but they had the strength... the strength... to do that.

You know, to climb that shit.

will to power and all.

i went to set problems, but basically just did the same bad tension move left, then right then left. count that as infinite. so, all in all happy that there are new things out there to climb. it can be a dirty bit of effort to do all that.

thats beneficial

ok so question- why are all the problems imagined and then bolted up on the wall so impossibly difficult? why is the imagination so much stronger than anything else?

no shadows feet can be jibbed on to otherwise impossible holds to make it possible. true story. i personally tend to find it way easier to make impossible than possible problems. the bonus there is to claim the creation of problems that haven't been climbed yet. it's like naming an absolute absence. but as long as you have a name and a clear concept to associate the name with, it does not matter that there is nothing there. one of the genius stupidities of human beings is our capacity to get just wacky involved in a symbolic order.
