I would support the idea of a solo forum but only if it only allowed one person in at a time. You know, for purity.

do you really think a designated coral is going to lure more of the type of posters your wishing to converse with, into online dialogue?

Those things are endangered and human contact with them isn't advised. I'd go with a corral, personally.

sounds more like a path to complicity with spelling fascist reach around antics
still perhaps our overly market rookie has a point
what was the question you were having trouble getting answers for grasshopper?

It's your inability to comprehend that nobody came down on soloing that is the problem.

its fun and makes a greater challenge to overcome... it is also fast and efficient and doesnt require other climbers in your area... you also dont have to trust your life to anyone but yourself (i dont care about that last one, I usually climb with a partner)

your mistake
experience climbers have no problem with solo climbers
we have exposure to them and thus, we know they are mostly a tight lipped crowd
dialogue between them isnt going to increase their numbers, or the survival odds of those who pine after recognition as your surviving soloist is perdominantly loath to
perhaps er could pass on one of your better worded questions?

It's funny because it's true.

If you're soloing a route, you have no safety other than your skills and strength. Betting your abilities are sound with your life = pretty freaking egotistic. Arguing that it's not = even more egotistic.
Tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.

dont get me wrong.. i love climbing with partners... i usually do. soloing is just a fun thing I do when im feeling bold, want a challenge or have no one to climb with.... i also am refering to climbing un-roped even if you are with other people.. not neccesarily being alone

No, we can't, it's against item 3-b, paragraph 12 of the RC.com charter.
Unless you can buy out the union, you can't have a discussion without being called a n00b.
