tring severely limits your ability to go to cool places or make any use of most climbing areas, plus leading is fun as hell

because girls only like guys with skills. my bow staff and nunchuck skills weren't cutting it, so I took up lead climbing.

dude, shut up!!!!! bouldering is not free soloing by the way!
and i don't know if I mentioned this but, Shut up!

first you tell me that I "clim fer th rong resins", now you tell me that I "dont even climb". seriously, shove it dude. I would gladly free solo if I wanted to stay on 5.8's all the time, but I don't. I like challenging myself, and I'm a big fan of not dying. So if reducing the risk of death in a climb necessitates it not being a climb any more then I guess you are right, I don't climb.

I plug pro, and I'm proud of it! So shut up you almighty-self-righteous-douche bag!

I don't see how knowing how to place pro constitutes ignorance. I don't want to know what you have seen on your latest mescaline trip.

Aceto:

1) Is it possible for you to sound coherent?

2) You seem to edit every post you make. Then they are still incoherent. You are actually quite boring.

Anyway, on to the OPs question. I started climbing before there were climbing gyms. A few oddballs would build woodies in the basement or garage. This was seen purely as practice and training.

The first time I climbed, I met 2 guys (still friends, BTW) who taught me how to set redundant TR anchors, and how to belay.

The second time I climbed, I grabbed the rack, and led 5.6 trad. You started at the bottom, and climbed to the top. Rock climbing was originally a branch of mountain climbing, and you cant top rope a mountain.

you are right about that, I do not "understand why placing pro removes you from the experience of climbing". I actually think placing pro elevates the experience, as it forces you to focus on your foot placement and jams in order to get a stance that you can place the protection from.
