Given that your profile indicates that your lead limit is 5.10a, I don't really think you are in a position to call anyone else a pussy.

Thread evolution....
Look at how the OP's question was answered (tone, not volume) PRIOR to JT's post that no, its not a joke.
Then look at the subsequent reassurances that in fact, no it is not a joke, like a dam broke or something.
(of course! of course I knew it all along! )
BTW, you should see what trad climbers do with those reinvented sportkneepads!

ah, if you wanna be un 'pussified' go high-ball bouldering or trad climbing. sport climbing is a legit part fo the sport, not the whole.

I thought it was funny that she was in direct and still feels complled to have a knee bar. No to mention being on the agressive belay stylings of talky McTalkerson. I mean if the bolt goes shes gonna deck and kill Fido.

OWNED!
but in all seriousness, stick clips come in handy sometimes, like if the landing is on sharp boulders and any falling would result in serious injury. I have a grigri but rarely use that shit. mostly for aiding. oh and dogs are annoying if they are barking and shit.
