While there alot of good reasons to lead.

Sure, some one has to get the rope up there.

I've noticed that quite a bit of ladies don't even bother.

Tell that to Katie Brown, Lynn Hill and many many many others.

The reason is simple.
Generally the men I climb with lead harder and they want to climb harder

so... you are a wuss

enigma wrote:

So I'm happy just to follow.

if you must...

So if my partner can lead to 5.11 trad.

California 5.11 = 5.10a by Montana standards and our rock is shit choss too. so what is your point?

enigma wrote:

They are going to want to try to climb as close to that.

some times yes some times no, depends on the day, mood, weather and such. Cranking hard is fun and cruzing 5.8s all day is fun too.

Personally I don't want to get hurt . So its not important to me.

learn to place gear properly.

enigma wrote:

If you are a guy

Yep, sure am

enigma wrote:

I presume your male ego forces you to lead?

Not at all, but I love climbing. Trad, sport, ice; the idea is to climb and have fun, some times yer the first to get the rope up top.

enigma wrote:

However given the chance would you rather follow?

indifferent... I just like to climb if that involves leading cool. Seconding cool too.

enigma wrote:

Can guys admit this?

yep, not suffering from small penis syndrome like your friends seem to be.

enigma wrote:

I also have heard guys don't like other males to climb harder then them. Is that true?

not at all, some times its nice to have a partner that can pull that crux pitch that is required to get to the top.

enigma wrote:

What's your opinion on this subject?

You are a moron with very shallow and misguided ideas of the opposite sex and narrow minded ideas of what women are truly capable of.
