MP as in mountain project? Pfffft, a step above RC.com. Good for route discriptions and for selling stuff;-)

I dunno about the route descriptions. I've seen some total crap on that site and some very good and helpful stuff too. Garbage in, garbage out.

HA, I said good, not great. Its a mixed bag of information and at best taken with a grain of salt. Regardless at least it has basic forum features unlike ST.com which I enjoy but get tired the percentage ratio of climbing to brainfarting online threads.

Yep on each comment.

Our local guidebook author recently introduce a co-author of a recent Yosemite guide to climbing at  Pinns. It was a setup, an awful pitch that "had to be climbed". His comment was something like "That is the worst climb I have ever done, no, in fact it was the worst pitch I have ever done." For some strange reason he was smiling as he said it.

Fortunately the first-timer ended up on better Mud routes as the day progressed.

He was actually laughing as he said it. He'll be back too.

That guy is probably where he belongs.

Thankfully we have mud.
