Strongest part of Enigma's brain pole:
Some crossover is true, there are many parts of Enigma's brain that talk to other parts, and there are some parts that work together and know what the other parts are doing.
However there is also a part that pretty much focuses on getting as much attention as possible and another group that goes all crazy and freaky.
That being said and overlap apparent . I'm going with attention whore being the stronger of the two parts. Alot of her posts involve topics that are known to elicit responses ,
(pure trolls like Majid are welcome to respond since they're also good at eliciting responses) 
So which part is the Strongest and Why?

Of course there is crossover, and I'm not trying to polarize any group. Many skills and moves on routes are helped by bouldering. In addition there are sport routes that are quite overhanging and difficult.
However, those incredible long trad routes, and sometimes including big walls take strength and endurance up several notches.
In addition there is a inner strength that comes when you are 1000ft up and 1000 ft to go. The addition of a pig filled with water,food and gear and climbing a week on a route is an amazing feat.
It takes mental and physical strength and the intrepid climbers that succeed are at the top of my list.
All climbers should be strong and combination of all the above, trad , sport and bouldering on different rocks and techniques is the best.

This is true. I have always found that the inside of boulders 1000 feet up is much stronger than the outer part, which is usually quite chossy.

This is also true! Getting the pig to eat the food and water is no big deal, but getting it to eat all that climbing gear is a very impressive feat indeed!

My vote is for boulderers if I define "strongest" as: person I would least like to get into a fight with.
