Great so you do know what effort it takes to hold a comp. And I completely understand someone not totally agreeing with the direction that the sport(climbing as a whole) has gone.
However, you must understand that when you said “Please please please don't let climbing become an Olympic sport!” it was like me saying “Please please please don't let people continue to climb outside because it might mess up the rock”. Both statements assume the worst about something that will probably never have any bearing on the person that said them.
I just don’t understand the people who don’t want indoor climbing to be an Olympic sport. It will have absolutely no affect on you if it does become an Olympic sport. If you don’t participate in it and you don’t watch it you will never even know it has happened.
I wouldn’t wish that outdoor climbing stop for you so why would you wish that indoor climbing not progress for someone else? That just sounds selfish to me. Which I hope you would agree should never be a part of climbing in any fashion.
I really just wish that traditional outdoor climbing and indoor competitive climbing could coexist as two very distinct and separate sports. They share some equipment and the techniques are used in both. And some people participate in both. However, they have completely separate ways of achieving the goals and objectives.
