Congradulations!!

Man I just gotta say this. Thanks to all of you for not being stereotypical jackass climbers. My experience in the past, for the most part is that if you don't climb 5.12 or if you have questions regarding pretty darn near anything (other than how do I get to the nearest 5.stupid climb) all you get is sarcasm and stupidity as a response. But I look forward to reading your posts and getting replies from all of you because I get honest and real answers (Occasional sarcasm is a good thing too)
I am not a good climber, but that doesn't stop me from loving climbing just as much as the next person. So it pisses me off to no end when I get crapped on and shot down for the accomplishments I do make. Nothing turns novice climbers away quite like some arrogant wanker coming along and trash talking the rout the novice thought he would die on. Climbing isn't a competition (Except climbing competitions of course) it's about each person surpassing themselves. All of you seem to understand that here. I hope that it stays that way, because, while we may not have the most spectacular rocks over here, we do have the best community out there.
So give yourselves a pat on the back, or if you are near someone give them a hug and say "Way to go old salt", because you deserve it. (Well maybe not being called old salt. What does that mean?)
