Finish What You Started

Post by XXXX » Mon May 03, 2004 11:08 am

Whoever did a half assed job of scrubbing Little Feat in the Smoke Bluffs and replaced the fixed pin with a bolt, why did you stop half way down and leave the bottom of the arete all mossy? :?: :?: :?:

Route cleaning

Post by pitonspud » Mon May 03, 2004 5:06 pm

Have you considered that perhaps they are not finsihed cleaning the route. Some routes require several days to clean depending on how overgrown the route has become. Hey the last time I cleaned a route it took a month before we could get back and do the lower half. Some routes require frequent cleaning--even popular ones. So appreciate the fact that these people volunteered their time, money, and equipment so that others can climb.

Looks abandoned

They haven't touched it for several months....

However someone did rescrub digital dexterity right next door again. That thing grows out faster than my porn star moustache. Mabe if they cut down every tree near Pixie Corner and paved it it would help a bit.

bummer

I guess they lost interest, moved, or dropped out of the scene--amongst countless other reasons.

bad example

Post by XXXX » Wed May 05, 2004 11:39 am

if i stepped in to finish every time some one else gave up on a project i'd never have time to climb. the moral of the story is when you start something it is good to finish it and pointless to leave the job half done. if you don't plan on finishing don't bother starting.

i have a suspicion that whoever did the deed just figured their crappy scrub job was "good enough" despite the mud and moss in the bottom cracks.

although, if someone else was to do the job now, i guess some of the work is done for them. 8)

good enough

Maybe it was 'good enough' for them. If its not 'good enough' for you then stop complaining and do something. Either move on or fix it. Nobody wants to hear you talk. :evil:

I know who did the scrubbing of little feat (wasn't me), in fact, I am laughing hysterically at this thread!

Nooj said it correctly, "If its not 'good enough' for you then stop complaining and do something. Either move on or fix it."

Enough said.

oh well

:cry: i'm a whiner, everyone hates me :cry:

i'm just confused i guess. i led this route two weeks ago and couldn't figure out why the upper section was nicely scrubbed and clean but at the crux i was scooping wet mud out of the cracks with my nut tool. i would be interested to hear why this was "good enough"
