Stormeh started with the polite ribbing (which is actually a little ridiculous when you actually know Jay's personal climbing history, but that's a side issue) and then a few others, like you, elected to pursue the point. Now fuck off, you elitist twat. The only people I ever hear slagging on sport climbing are either pros who got their panties in a bunch that the undeclared project they planned on headpointing got bolted, and people who haven't climbed enough to know that its all climbing. I'm sorry you're so insecure that you feel the need to highlight your imagined superiority. /climbs almost exclusively trad //ashamed to call himself a "trad" climber because of the excess of asshats like you This thread earlier: In reply to: And not everyone can pull a hard enough move to find sport climbing interesting. -Jay In reply to: Is that why you turned to bolts? I know plenty of guys cranking hard moves above placed gear. You don't need shiny bolts overprotecting everything, just to pull hard. -Ben I didn't think this was all that inflammatory. "Turned to bolts." "Shiny bolts." "Overprotecting everything." "Just to climb hard." Give me a fucking break. Each one of those phrases is elitist, insulting, and denigrating. If those aren't the elements of an inflammatory post, I don't know what is (and I do know what is!). By choosing such loaded phrases, you clearly show that you have no sincere interest in learning why an experienced trad climber would want to switch to sport climbing (even though many have, and haven't looked back for a second). N00bs like you forget that sport climbing grew out of trad climbing, just as "trad" climbing grew out of mountaineering. In both cases, elements of risk and inconvenience were stripped away to facilitate focus on a valued subset of skills. Enough said. This is starting to become a more serious, thoughtful reply than your insolent posts deserve; but, who knows, perhaps you'll think about it anyway. Maybe we'll see you out at New Jack this season. I'll be the "washed up old-timer" working the 13a with the crux death clip at the fourth bolt because someone forgot that sport climbs are supposed to only have "3-foot runouts." You? Jay
