wait, is that an aid climber? and the boulderer needs a beanie, not a bandana and he's got a shirt on?? pshaw
climbingtrash says:
This is an INSULT to artist everywhere...I LOVE IT! (just not sure what it means)
woodchuck07 says:
hey, the trad guy might hang but my guess is off a cam, not a 'pin'. That's 50's trad and nobody supports hammers/pins much now days. Oh wait, I forgot those sporty bolt-drill guys,,,,guess they do use 'heavy metal' yet.
I too, vote for a beanie on the boulderer. Bandanas are 70-80s trad hardmen.
Ben Strohmeier says:
you guys havent been around for the new bandana look for boulderers yet, ive seen more bandanas this summer than beanies. maybe its just the folks i know
woodchuck07 says:
well I'm all for it. Beanies are NOT for me. I know one guy at the Red last week who lives in his bandana day and night.
Ben Strohmeier says:
i wonder if its the same guy from when i was there, does he carry a canteen around
woodchuck07 says:
well he was living out back of Mig's in a tent for the last 2 months....dint see a canteen.
Ben Strohmeier says:
haha yea thats him, he had a single canteen and i thought he was going to die a couple days b/ thats all hed bring for the whole day at the crag
woodchuck07 says:
he lost it or forgot it one sweaty hot afternoon and I luckily had another warm 1.5 liter bottle in the pack somewhere to give him. But hey, he likes to climb alot and I had no belayers so it was all good.
Bumluck says:
Yes, beanies are so last year. Besides, what keeps them on your head when you are in the midst of a death-defying move? Oh yeah...If you're bouldering, you just pick it up off the ground, cause that's basically where you are.
Just joshing.
Climbing Shirts for Climbing Bums
woodchuck07 says:
That's funny Bum! You're basically right where you started all the time when bouldering. I've yet to see a boulderer carry a big day pack to the summit. With their hike-in shoes attached to it on back. Trailing a rope for the next guy..... and on it goes. How about if the cartoonist draws something like that with some clever comments?
badash says:
I dont get it.... is this saying that boulderers are cooler than route climbers?
woodchuck07 says:
I think that's the intended slam, at traddies especially, with the pin' reference.
Jimn72 says:
I wouldn't even try to get this unless you are talking about what ever the "artist" in question is on and in that case I may be inclined to get some of it. Then If I was getting some it this would all make perfect sense and trad climbers would be banging in pins on 5.7 routes and boulderers would be sending V-hard and I would be living in a perfect world, like the Guttermouth song Perfect World, here are the lyrics just to make my post even more annoying.
if i lived in a perfect world
i would spend my days lying in the sun
the party never ends in a perfect world
if your life has hit the skids
wave goodbye to the wife & kids
i'm ready to move into a perfect world
nacho cheese and anarchy
boy that sure sounds good to me
every kind of drug is free
in the new america
shoot your pistol in the air
celebrate a brand new year
living leisurely in a perfect world
everybody's drinking hams
good by all you straight edge bands
sit around and get a tan
in the new america
when i turn on my t.v.
nothing but pornography
no more rated "g" in a perfect world
strung out hookers everywhere
have a picnic feed the bears
now nobody even cares
in the new america
nothing in this worlds for free
cause everything belongs to me
no more green fees in a perfect world
woodchuck07 says:
Guess that's why I prefer to listen to something other than Guttermouth' and other wankoff bad sounds of the new millennium. What a sicko way to prefer your world. I'll take the more melodic and meaningful powerballads of Klaus Meine, Matthias Jabs and Rudolph Shenker anytime. Catch 'Humanity: Hour 1' the latest CD by Scorpions for some quality tunes and lyrics.

ohhhhhhh i get it! And who knows what Ben was on, haha. Love ya man!
