but jokes aside I think that trying to put climbing into the Olympics would be like trying to put snorkeling into the Olympics. You do it because it's fun, aesthetic, physically demanding, and takes you to some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Good job up there^^^BTW. A solid conquest that was.

I suggest an RC.com PTFTW olympic contest. The rules are simple. Competitors are given the address to 6 randomly chosen non-climbing websites that they are not yet members of. They have to amass as many PTFTW's as possible with no deletions in a certain time period, say a day or two. Ties can be broken with multiple user accounts and threats or follow through of permabanz. I think a sniped PTFTW should be worth more than a postwhored one, but it's 3:54am right now, I might be backwards in my thinking. Zeke, A_B, Klownjaya, Stinky, Sungam (though he's in way over his head), and Art should comprise this milestone competition. I would offer to judge, but I've unfortunately been climbing an awful lot lately with no sign of stopping so I'd be too absentee for the games. Until the IOC steps in I suggest an open class. There are NO banned substances in this game. Wanna chase Monsters with Spike while snorting blow off a dead hookers ass with a bong in your other hand while wearing a beer hat? Go for it, I'm not your mother.
