Well, a lot of places the written part is multiple choice, so there's not really writing involved (at least, of the level required to post on the internet). So that hurdle's gone.

I thought of that, but it still involves reading comprehension. I thought it to atypical to refer to it as a reading portion of the test (read portion?)

Some testing centers provide interpreters.
Hmmm....also, he could own a car without having a license.

what a joke to make climbing as an Olympic sport
seriously
let's take a look at climbers or what represent climbing
*cheap dirtbags with broken Subarus or Toyota truck
*not related to any social order
*not in to nor represent any international organization
*not proud of their own nations
*most likely will sell the gold medal for more cams and sh*t or trip to Cerra Tora
*disconnected from GF, mom and dad and friends so *no one will accompany them in Olympics
*and finally, they can never pass the kabus test

Well, no not a dollar. I'm sure he made it a combo and up-sized it.
Wait, what the hell can you buy for a dollar? I knew they went cheap on those menus, but you can only drop the price on meat products so far before you start looking for declines in the local stray cat, dog and human populations. Well, I guess we refer to stray humans as 'homeless'.

Can't we just agree that aid climbing would be an awesome Olympic sport?
"Reporter A: Wow, it's been an exiting route for Team America. They've only been on the route for six hours and already they are 70 feet up. What are they up to now Jim?"
"Reporter B: He's placing a Fifi hook, wait a talon, no, he's back to the fifi, now he's testing his body weight.... testing it, testing it.... OK, now he's eating a sandwich, and he's doing some more testing. He likes that placement and hes up, at least 8"!"
"Reporter A: We are seeing some incredible action today, and pitch 2 promises even more excitement. Now Jim, Team America seems to be getting ready to bivvy for the night. What are they up to now?"
"Reporter B: Bob, he's crapping into a tube, an integral part of this exciting and dynamic sport. You'll see he's using the latest carbon fiber crap tube that was specially designed for this Olympic premiere of aid climbing. Truly ground breaking stuff."
"Reporter A: When we get back from commercial, we'll cut to some pot smoke rising out of Team America's portaledge as day 14 of aid climbing continues."

same could have been said about snowboarders, at least in the 90's
side note: there was a piece on 8a.nu about this recently; according to the article it's looking like 2020, if the earth is still around. Ondra might still be in it by then.

You can get a double cheeseburger for a dollar.

Well, I don't know what they make those $1 double cheeseburgers out of, but I'm sure there were some very clever people behind the engineering of it all. Good for them.

I'm disappointed. Only 40% of the comments in this thread have been pointless attacks on people's spelling. That's at least 7% lower than the average on this form (ha, get it?). But of course, thats not true until I back it up with a link to a reputable source. Maybe I'll throw in some intential typos, just as a soshul exsperiment.
I know that by saying so I am subjecting myself to attacks on my own maturity, but seriously, the lack of maturity on this thread, and website, is ridiculous. The majority of the opinions people have posted regarding climbing in the olympics have been that a) it will make MY crag too crowded or b) if you dont climb for the same reasons that I do, then stay out of my sport. Pardon me, lifestyle.
Are you all really so selfish as to do anything you can to keep people away from your local crag? Share the love. Just a point for consideration that no one has brought up yet, in case anyone cares- personally I enjoy reading about Sharma, Ondra, Caldwell, etc pushing the limits of climbing. 5.15b and so one. It's very likely that climbing in the olympics would lead to further "limit pushing" and development in climbing overall.
And since I cant post all this without formally stating my opinion, I am all for climbing being in the olympics. If you all want to keep sport, trad, etc. out of the mix then its not like its the end of the world. But I'd really like to at least see bouldering in the olympics, or at the very least, speed climbing. But of course that has nothing to do with TRUE climbing.
All that being said, olympics or not, I'll still be climbing either way. The world's not going to end (but I'll probably be told otherwise). Simmer down, simmer down.
Have a nice day.

The ever trite 'maturity' line. Someday, when you're older... ah, never mind.
I believe, where climbing is concerned, that 'fermentation' is a more appropriate word over 'maturation'.

I guess as an elitist asshole, I am not the least bit surprised by the responses to Tom550's request. I shouldn't have ever expected any more from this forum.
I personally would love to see ice climbing over curling, and rock climbing, plastic or not, over speed walking.
For all the elitists that don't want to share the sport: you aren't that special, you don't belong at my crag, and your car doesn't even belong in the parking lot crowding my trailhead.
Many of you violated the first two rules of Climb Club. You don't talk about climbing, and you don't talk about climbing. Your arguments were null and void on the topic of popularizing the sport through a major media outlet, as soon as you volunteered any information in the public sphere; the internet included.
Elitist's please do post what crowded crags will be more crowded, so I can come get an early start on TR-Gang-Fucking the shit out of all your local classics. I'll be sure to leave my ropes on them for hours for any beginners to try as well. I'd really love to hear you cry about it on rc.noob afterward.
While, I don't want to always be personally involved in aiding beginner climbers, I have no issue sharing something that has been a great part of my life with anyone interested.
I don't own the sport, neither do you. Don't be so selfish. At least have better, more valid, reasons not to have climbing be an Olympic sport.
