Yes, we need to think of Bubba's unemployment fund. If he looses any more members who stop posting after half an hour of membership and 2 posts then... oh, I see  :lol:

right, i am new to this forum thing and i have been reading alot of your comments, i have also been on this 'red-tips'  site and personally i give the kids respect, as the behaviour i have seen on here in way makes me feel ashamed that fellow climbers would slag off younger climbers 'psyche' as it is called well in my case alot younger climbers, i will probably stay away from climbing on the internet, thanks. I just think you should all think. This is the next generation of climbers, shouldnt you be motivating them rather than slagging them off.

Their are soo manie fings wong wif wot ya said.

I think everyone agrees that the Red Tips website should not take the brunt of this no matter how much fun it may be.

Apart from Fiend and we don't care what he thinks anyway

No, it's a friend of his from near Scunny. Seriously.

But anyway, James/Josh - nobody is really slagging RedTips apart from poking a bit of gentle fun at it. They just have issues with a certain person's claims.

Yeah, suggesting jumping onto moving buses is really mature and sensible.

How have people been pricks?  Poking fun at people that say stupid things is fairly routine.

I am physically unable to be otherwise, I have a doctors note which I will forward to the DWP.

if you can get one get a high visibility jacket and carry it round with you, so that if you get approached put it on and just say that you are doing some surveying or sumthing

Hang about boys. I think we've underestimated these guys. Obviously intellects to be reckoned with.

And at least they're anti donkey tick mark.

Try not to use chalk though, if you do, try and keep the walls as clean as possible.

This made me burst out laughing drawing a few strange looks - oops.  Good play dave!

Anyone care to wager if jamesline will be back...  Methinks not.  I'd be damn disappointed though, he's mananged to turn out an excellent thread from his contributions!

No cos Dylan started this sensibly to mock the whole debacle. If he'd been at all serious in the first place, then yes it should. Whether it's still News or not  ::)

It looks like the redtips crew are returning to silence their doubters....

For the sake of anyone who ever visits Parisella's I just hope they fork out for a proper campsite... the toilet issues just don't bear thinking about.

made my day reading this thread  ;D
 i think a lot of it comes down to the red-tits.com boys being very fame hungry and self/grade obsessed.can remember on ukc one of the terrible twins or both claiming f.a's on a boulder between burb south and millstone somewhere.a couple of problems were down at font 7a+.,never been there but to think they had not being climbed is very nieve.the next week on ukc they were in at english 5a!!now thats a downgrade.
i dont feel sorry for this scott lad at all.
he knows he can stop it all very easily.well he cant because i seriously doubt he can do most of these prob's he claimed.

Just to clarify to people on this thread after coming back from Albarracin yesterday (I arrived with a f*cked finger) none of the grades are anyway near correct and basing anything on them is just pure lunacy.

That one move 8a+ in Aeroline would be getting Morpho 7c in the UK
Aeroline itself is 7a+ (this goes right through the grading)
Klems Traverse, well Jerry's at Cratcliffe IS harder

Nat flashed something with 7 in the grade, she's never climbed harder than 6b!

Nearest line 56 R-man? You're going to have to clarify that as line 56 is a 6b+ and straight up the end of the traverse is given 7a from standing? Those chalk dabs aren't going to produce an 8.... Even an Alb 8 unless you stick some blinkers on.

Interesting stuff Paul, but you really should have gone to the UK's premier climbing news agency with this story..... http://www.red-tips.com/ 'News Slap'.............

Gutter about the finger......bad?

its an arse for what I wanted to tick at the tor but I can generally avoid annoying it too much on most other things (avoiding two finger drags).

I just thought this thread could do with some grade grounding, my general opinion is that Euro grades are out of control but even the locals agree on this one. Comparing British Font 8a to Albarracin 8a requires some kind of major adjustment. Word has it that the E-bloc Albarracin Topo was produced in a whopping 3 weeks, there's no wonder the grades/names are all over the place.
