He trolls until he gets beat up. Then he cuts and pastes the grief to management.
Andy takes the heat, and he is having a hard time defending the value of this site. So if any of you care, ignore “IT”.
Don’t be friends with “IT”, don’t try to figure “IT” out, just ignore. That goes for Andy C, if you want a friend, get a puppy.
We had a deal to ignore, let’s go with that.
Ignore is the only thing that works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, that's no Colorado rock!!! I climbed that thing in my bathing suit last year! That's a cruise ship rock!!

Didn't look like the Rockies to me either, but Colorado's a big state, what do I know?
You trying to tell me this Larry Martin person is not telling the truth?
Just for that, I will post a REAL picture of my REAL son doing some REAL rappelling. Guaranteed, 100% authentic. He is three years old here.
In the second shot, he's doing some solo bouldering; he's just shy of five, last April in Gaspé Provincial Park.
Take that, L-M!

I think I recognize Larry's hat in the second shot........

No way! I bought that hat myself, along with matching mittens, for 3 hard-earned loonies!
By the way--what's your excuse for being up at 4:30 in the morning? Me, I couldn't sleep because I've got to be in court in about 4 hours so I can bring my son back home. My wife stole him on May 5 and it took three weeks before I could track her down and serve her with papers--I'm looking forward to bringing the little guy back home, but my idiot lawyer tells me it's only temporary and he won't even try for an interim order.
Anybody out there a lawyer with a license to practice in Québec? I could sure use one who ain't sleeping with my wife's lawyer, which probably ain't what's going on, but it sure seems like it....Dinosaur

Dino...my guess is theres a rope tied uptop to him along with the belayer down below.
I've climbed the Gunks here in NY and a lot of the rocks were strung up that way for beginners.

Could be. But that would mean he'd have to have two people belaying him: really complicated and unnecessary. Doesn't make sense.
Beginners usually go with somebody experienced, unless they're stoopid; the old hand goes up premier de cordée putting in his own protection on the way up and hoping to kriss the beginner doesn't F-up belaying him. When he gets to the top of the voie he anchors himself to a tree or other hard-point, pulls the rope out of his protection and belays to his harness. He can then lower the free end to the rookie who clips in and climbs.
Alternately, the pro can just clip the rope into an anchor at the top of the pitch and then rappel down or down-climb on belay, removing his protections as he goes down. This way he can belay the rookie from the bottom, from where it's usually easier to see him.

PS--I just got back from court--got temp custody of my kid 4 nights a week until we go back on the 19th for another round. Lawyer blew a gasket: seems the kid told his mother this morning, Mr. Judge is going to let me go home to live with Papa for the rest of my life! You tell 'em, buddy!

My best friend recently went through a divorce and a nasty custody battle incedently he lost..., you have my sympathy.Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, Professionals build the Titanic.
I'm starting to think that divorce is a disease of the me-first generation, the way it's practised now. No-fault divorce: you're not happy? Bug out and #$%?& the responsibilities you took on when you signed the marriage contract. So what if you destroy the kids' home life and run everybody into bankruptcy (except the lawyers, of course!)? At least you can be happy, and that's what really counts, right?
Divorce rate is 50% here now; prior to 1984 when the 'no-fault' law was passed, it was 8%. Anybody wanna talk about the break-up of the traditional family unit...?
Hey--who deleted those posts??

my favorite one-liner: "Divorce wouldn't be so expensive, if it wasn't worth it." :)
I think the real rule is, "It's the kids that lose, and the lawyers that win."
So what happens to lawyers' kids?
Same-ol' same-ol'

When I was 24 I got custody of my kid (girl) Niko.......(I'm 52 now).
Brought her up alone for five years before I remarried. Its heavy on dating but in some ways its how I got the wife I have now. Its also how I kept the school I loved running (like Summerhill in England) The Learning Tree. Its also how.......my favorite line I came up with is still my favorite,...."one thing leads to another"
Be a blessing in disguise

Yah, man. I hear you.
I'm 51; I started late. Ryan was born when I was 46; I was just busy doing other stuff up until then, and I always figured if you're gonna have a kid, you better be ready to take care of him/her.
The wife that just flipped her lid and stole him is my third--and last. There'll never be another. First two, after a couple of years each we looked at each other and said, well, it was nice, it was real, but it wasn't real nice, so....
After #2, I went back to sea for a while, paid off the last of the mortgage that way, and then came home for good, semi-retired at 38 years old and laughing at the world. Met the future #3 not long after and about 6 years later we decided it was permanent so....kid time. I took a new mortgage--not a big one, just for the materials and concrete sub, $40k over 20yrs, and went from 480 to 1800 sf doing it alone over one summer. Jacked up the place and moved it twenty feet to drop it over a brand new basement, then blew out the west wall and added six feet there, then we ripped off the roof in four big pieces with an excavator and I added a second story in a gambrel roof. Now we had someplace to put the kid, so we got married and bingo.
You've seen Ryan--I musta posted a dozen pics of him in the last couple of weeks. I made it my business to be the world's proudest Papa. Still am. I'm the househusband, too; she works year round; I make my own sched from April till November building, renovating, whatever. So me and the kid are like adjoining pieces in a glue-lam.
Anyway, it took me a month to find her and serve her and haul her into court, and now the fun really starts. Back to court in two weeks with a new lawyer and on from there. But my boy's home for a while, anyway; I can hear him in the next room trying hard not to fall asleep. And tomorrow we're going out on a job together I shoulda started a month ago. At five years old, he's a great helper already: loses stuff, knocks over piles of wood, and generally gets in my hair. I charge the customers negative $5.00 an hour when he's on site with me. They all love him, but it ain't for the discount.
You know what? It's when you in it eyebrow deep that you find out who the really good people are. And that's a fact.
Post your love, gentlemen: It's why we're really here.
