Either you are a troll who is amused by starting arguements or you are too lazy to educate yourself about the history of this sport and the contributions aid climbers have made and continue to make. A similar topic was discussed not very long ago.
Aid Climbing = Cheat Climbing

This is funny because there was another idiot on this sight about a month ago that went on the same disturbing trend of trying to piss off people by insulting all the aid climbers on the sight. As I stated before, get out and climb before you insult any type of climbing.

Permitted??
bold, Do you have a clue about climbing?
I have never realized there was such a seperation in the climbing community until I become a member of rc.com.
Ok, so you may never want to sleep on a portaldge. You may not want to do all of the hard work that comes with climbing a big wall.
Do you realize what you are even saying. What if aid climbers didn't think you should do routes that took less than an hour.
Do you see how ridiculous it sounds???
wigglesticks is right, if you are a troll, it is not amusing. If you are not, GET A CLUE!!
Boulderer, Sport Climber AND Bigwall Climber,

These sorts of threads are so pathetic. As are the people who start them.
Oooo...yeah...ban aid climbing...ooo
Even I, the notorious rockclimbing.com gym rat understands the importance of aid climbing, and has much respect for the activity.

Always remember,
Aid climbing is sometimes the only way to reach the bitchin'est campsites.

I myself have never aid climbed, but have both respect and admiration for those who delve into that area of our sport. Get a life, bold, (wow, you really are bold.)
when you try to demean someone else or what someone else does, you only succeed in demeaning yourself.

Man, it was worth it just to read all the responses this misguided soul got.
BTW, I think we should put our money where our mouth is and let this uneducated, completely off-based, and downright insulting post suffer in the form of a diminished Q-rating for the original poster. I've done my part. Anybody else care to step to the plate?
I've only aided once in my life but I loved the hell out of it and hopefully will get to live a dream someday by spending a summer in the Valley honing my skills.

If it wasn't for aid, I couldn't get up all those .12s. I mean, step on a bolt here, pull on a piece there, dosey doe, and pretty soon you are aiding your way to cleaner, whiter teeth.
Anyway, have fun and keep on craggin.

Aid, climbers have just as much right as you to be on the wall.

I say, any climber with chalk should be thrown into the Yosemite Dungeon (the Fed Gov't has one there, just for YOU) until he agrees to climb cleanly. Really cleanly.
And all climbs that were originally done with aid, like Astroman, should be off-limits to free cimbers. After all, you should do the route in the same style as the first ascent masters: Warren Harding, Chuck Pratt and Glen Denny.
If you can't do the "Enduro Corner" on aid, you shouldn't mess with history.

I personally like to aid boulder. Nothing more fun than standing in my etriers 3 feet off the ground reaching for that placement above my head. I've often had scary runouts of 4 to 5 feet.
One time I took this huge whipper on a micronut...luckily I hit my crashpad :-)

If you are on a computer,you are cheating!hahaha!!--Do not post,write your response down on a peice of pulp paper,using a quill.Don't use the post office to mail your response to all the RC. members,as that would be cheating!!---Hand deliver your response to each member,one by one!!!(come on Krusty,this is fun)
You can however use the pony express trail.(but you can't use a horse,as this would also be cheating)good luck!!!
PTPP,you funny guy!!!---I love your post's,best camp site,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
