      Steve built himself a treadwall clone in order to make it fit in the garage. He took dedication to a new level.

      Pale white “homeboy” sends climb called “Ghetto Booty” in the 99% Caucasian sport of rock climbing . . . hmm, maybe whiteys all tryin’ a bit too hard to be all bLaq-tastic and shit?

        Generally yes, but surely you know that Steve isn’t the one who named this route. Since the FA was French maybe can just blame it on them???

          When in doubt, blame the French.

          Francois is very much the white boy, but also a super nice guy. I believe that it was his practice to keep the names of his FAs consisten with the names / themes of the established routes in an area when putting up FAs on the road. Don’t blame the French, its an American issue.

            Ghetto Booty and all the other “Booty” extensions are at The Hood on Mt. Charleston. It fits, it’s fun, blame nobody. Stay blind to the haters.

      Really now Tane, I had NO idea that that mountain climbing place in Mt. Charleston was called “The Hood” . . . you are soo informative, now it all makes sense!

      I was just giving a slight jab to ole’ Isaac here . . . bring on “the haters,” I’ll stay blind to the cliché users instead and continue to blame the French and probably Joe Brooks too, even if he came onto the scene later, just because.

    Pale white homeboys are naming climbs after rappers and hip hop to this day in Rifle and elsewhere.
