  • Holy shit I can have Instagram back without perhaps the algorithm driven anxiety and rage? I had to stop using insta not even out of any leftist purism or ideology bs, it was literally causing me so much grief every single time I opened the app. I probably could have reset my account algo but I just decided enough was enough. I remember now it was during the Charlie Squirt Memorial Fountain reveal aftermath.







  • I am telling you that the early part of the climb is very easy. Large holds, big cracks, very obvious chalking and easy route finding.

    And if you are comparing jumping a motorcycle across the snake river to free climbing, the cost of entry is absolutely a factor in how dangerous broadcasting the stunt is. Again, the former requires a jump, a pretty big fucking jump. That requires engineering, fabrication, materials. It required a permit, to build that infrastructure in that location at that time. It is not an equivalent comparison to purchasing shoes and going for a drive. Not to mention the people that already had gear but not enough experience to fully understand the danger



  • The false equivalence comparing Evel and Honold is wild. One took way more money than the average dope has, was obviously promoted as reckless as fuck, and did nearly kill him a bunch of times.

    Compare that to the cost of a chalk bag, shoes, and a park pass, and tons more morons will be able to emulate their equally moronic idol.

    Also, who here knows anything about El Cap? It’s a fucking cake walk for the first 1000 feet, then it gets technical. So now some dipshit that watched free solo is a thousand feet of the valley floor and panicking, unable to climb farther up and absolutely incapable of downclimbing, which is much harder.
