Aha! freakin posers. I can't stand "fake" people. People who say they do things that they don't do to look cool bother me. I met a guy once who called himself a climber that had climed ONCE...in a gym...many years ago :roll:
Ahhh well. To each his own. Maybe us climbers should be flattered when people want to be like us :lol: :wink:

Agreed!
I cant stand it when people try to tell me they climb. I always ask them if they want to go, and they always seem to be busy........

there are a hundred climbers at my high school. Most of them climb because they want to be cool. That pisses me off.
I don't climb to be cool. I don't climb to be popular. I definately don't climb to be trendy. Hey, I don't even climb because I'm good (cuz I'm not). I climb because it's fun!

Stop hating. Accept people for who they are. At the very least be indifferent, it doesn't affect you at all.

They don't think they are 'fake' it's just that we know you gots to have experiences before you call yourself a climber.
They ain't climbers.
Hell, I only became a climber this season after twisting my ankle on a hiking descent. This after having been using ropes for ascending rocks since the 80s.
Vie can't vee chust climb?

What bugged me was when someone whose climbing history consisted of one visit to a gym told me that climbing is boring.

Actually it could. If some idiot that can't place a nut correctly decides to lead trad at my favorite crag and dies it affects me. Not only will my parents be even more weary of me climbing but the area could be closed. Tis already in danger.
These people I'm speaking of are the people that decide that climbing looks fun and they run into it like it is basketball or soccer. They don't take the time to learn how to do things properly and that puts them in danger and (sorry to sound like a dick) areas in danger of being closed. It doesn't matter why they climb as long as they learn to do it correctly, but if they're not serious about it, they aren't going to put forth the effort to learn correctly.

w00t!!!!111 I am cool!!1
I'm one of two climbers that I know of at my school. I wear my hall passes attached to a booty biner and nut around my neck on a spectra sling.
Posers piss me off, because nobody else knows they're posers. Everybody thinks they are as cool as me, when they don't know what the word "lead" means.
*sigh*
I live with it, and I never see any of them at the crags, so it all works out well. :lol: :lol:

In reply to: however, here lately these little prissy girls are calling themselves climbers, because their bfs climb or whatever.... ya right... they arent climbers... and some climb to "be cool with their friends"... hello? whatever
Just climb a hard route then go up to them, give them a big belly laugh, pat them on the head and say "sure you're a climber, Princess!" and walk away. Actions speak louder than words.

I have seen this before the "posers" are usually people more concerned with the idea of being a climber than actually climbing. I guess they like to impress people. Also this syndrome usually goes along with tons of PrAna stuff, especially those stupid beanies.
Thats just my two cents.

i guess i am lucky because i have not met one other climber yet at school without previously knowing them from school.
I love climbing and just to climb but it is really fun when a big football jock makes fun of me for being really skinny and then i challenge him to a pull up contest.
Big strong LB that benches 280 versus me, weak puny rock climber
him 10 pull ups.
me 30 :twisted: .
ahaha screw ya football jocks

Wearing a nut on a spectra sling around just seems like you trying to let everyone know you are a climber. Which is kind of petty. Its just like the skaters who always have to wear thier DC shoes and Element t-shirts. It just seems like trying fit in stereotype.
