The truth is that you completely represent the "new internet sprayer", who voices extremely strong opinions, but hinds behind some anonymous avatar. My next project is actually about people like yourself, so I will give you a chance to put your face in front of the camera and spray then. You can contact me via pm, I will show up and film you and see how brave you are, when we add your face to the strong opinions you post. Robert Rogoz (aka Polishbob)

Great job on the film. Drew is such an incredibly strong climber. However, what I like best about him is that he is just about the shortest climber you will find and he doesn’t let it stop him. He finds a way to overcome his height limitations with sheer determination.
That is what is so cool about these young climbers. Most of them give their heart and soul on every climb simply for a little turquoise competitor ribbon. They might never reach the climbing ability and notoriety of Ashima, Kai, or Mirko but that will never stop them from trying.
@fsacb3
However, when those kids see Ashima, Kai, and Mirko climb they get inspired to try themselves. So how dare you try to minimize the significance of their dreams. If what they want to be is a super star rock climber and their parents are on board I am just fine with them doing everything in their power to achieve that goal.
In response to your comments I give you a video of all of these kids competing at the limits of their physical and mental abilities. If you don’t like these videos then don’t watch it. However, until you can truly say that you have reached the limits of your physical and mental abilities I wouldn’t say negative things about those who have.
