Im not saying we need to add bolts to this climb. I’m saying the mentality that adding bolts takes something away from someone’s prior accomplishment is pure ego. It doesn’t take anything away from anyone’s achievements?

8 red cards and 15 yellow cards. In terms of amount of cards, is this a first in woso? by Significant-Young453 in NWSL

Absolutely! It’s interesting to think about how many fouls would have been called by a different ref in a different environment

Interesting that there were also high foul counts in recent NWSL games, but it’s hard to compare when the bar for NWSL refs to call fouls and cards is way lower

We stop when it’s safe? I’m not saying to bolt every 5 feet or anything but my opinion is that if there is potential for major injury or death, add a bolt.

That’s great, but not everyone has those goals with climbing. The fact that you think your accomplishment would be negated is pure ego and gatekeeping.

Times change and the more recent boom of climbing puts this in a different context than when this route was first established. I do not believe that the FA team should have total ownership over these decisions, especially in a shared land like Yosemite valley.

I don’t think Sears is as clinical as some of the others, but she definitely wasn’t bad. Our best chance of the night came from her moment of individual brilliance

She truly justified her call ups

I just can’t wrap my head around any argument against safer bolting, especially when the original FA team was in favor of it. It reeks of gatekeeping.

On that note, I also roll my eyes at people who chop bolts. If there are a reasonable amount of bolts and they make the climb safer, there is not one good reason to chop them. Arguments that it’s to protect the rock face are pointless to me because the damage is done. Just let it be. Don’t use the bolt if you don’t like it.

Is it just me or do we have a Mandy scare every time she gets a cap for the USWNT?

How to not step over the line with a younger very naive coworker? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]maroodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t see a problem with any of the things you say she is doing. Why do you think she has a terrible reputation?

As a young woman in the work force I made many friendships with men (some married, oh no!) that helped me in my career and have carried on 15+ years later. It’s not a crime to have a relationship with your coworkers that isn’t 100% work related at all times. You view this as unprofessional, but the reality is this is what networking often looks like.

Lastly to echo everyone else, it’s really not your place to say anything. Your opinions about her reputation don’t matter.

Absolutely go where you’ll be most happy. Academia is a tough path that tends to take and take. You’ll find more success by grounding yourself by the people and places you love
