Comparing crowds on property that is managed by the NPS is NOT a “shitpost”. Trumplethinskin strikes again.

also depends on what you consider shitposting...in this example, it would appear to include “factual information.”

Show us the damage to the National Park Service.

depends on who you consider a “reasonable person”. Is it, by any chance, only people who agree with you?

Maybe if you spent less time obsessing over something which does not affect you (because I assume you’re not a Soylent buyer or user), your software would see a greater rapidity in updates?

Well thank God, the first game was a little too sunshine-and-roses for my tastes.

Duuuuude, I know how the terms are used, and I’ve been trad climbing for the past 7 years (alpine, multi-pitch, etc.) and sport climbing for the past 11 (see that picture I posted of my feet climbing the Diamond a few posts up?). I was just throwing it out there that there has been some debate over trad/sport route…

I don’t know where yiu heard that term but it’s not true. Trad or sport refers to the type of gear used. Trad climbing uses removable gear like cams or nuts to place your protection and then a follower will remove it on the way up, some of these climbs may have bolts added in for unprotectable spots. Sport is a route…

What the other people have said is correct, but there’s also the method where bolts are drilled on lead (from the ground going up) as well. Let that one sink it for a minute as you contemplate climbing a route from the ground up, with bolting equipment in tow, and you’re drilling, blowing out the hole, and setting an…

With a drill and expansion anchors. On a lot of the bolted sport routes like this, there is an easier path to the top of the cliff and they rappel down in a harness, sinking bolts as they go.

Strength AND problem solving...but I say mostly the latter. Rock climbing is a thinking sport. You’re not likely to see Brock Lesnar or a top NFL linebacker doing any serious rock climbing. I’ve seen thick, brawny athletes attempt rock climbing and get nowhere fast get very frustrated because they thought they could…

Sorry, but I hate how climbing terms are always used incorrectly.

Impressive? Yes. Way above my league.

Jokes on you. I already pre-soaked myself.

So are we just supposed to ignore the rope, harness, already installed bolts and quick-draws that are preventing him from falling to his death. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very impressive climb and leading a 5.14d is way above my skill level, but my goodness the hyperbole. I give this sploid 7/10.

Well, yes and no. The A-12 was always going to be a recce airplane, intended to replace the U-2. The YF-12 interceptor was a side project using three incomplete A-12 airframes, but was canceled by SecDef McNamara due to overruns in the program, as well as overall expenses from the war in 'Nam.
