Ive been climbing a long long time. One I met in the early 80's was as arrogant as they come, but hes dead. So in respect for him, will not post his name. Whos your vote for most arrogant? Off topic? Not really, this is a climbing thread.

Arrogant ? Climber? Well to my recollection never met a really great climber that was arrogant. Some wannabes maybe. Most are pretty darn ok. :D Peace, Lynne
(But then there may be a testosterone thing that we gals miss...bwahahahah)

All depths of depravity and vanity should be fully explored on this public forum!
Why isn't every other thread about the defamation of the climbing community? I know some people with really stinky feet! I feel a slam coming on...
You people are so bias towards the positive! Sheesh!
Wazzup with that?

Mr E "All depths of depravity and vanity should be fully explored on this public forum!"
We already know "depravity and vanity" exist to the max, and we already know they lead to the dead end.
But the positive side only leads to the endless unlimited.

No one biting on the hook I dropped eh. LOL. okay okay. I know it was a lousy troll. Though if Russ was still posting he would tell you what an arrogant dude that Baba is. I'm certain of it.

I was reminded recently that some of the people I had been talking about are older and wiser(we hope), and would probably be the first to admit of their past arrogance. Youth tends to aspire to arrogance.

Arrogant....Merriam-Webster's definition ....exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner.
Nah, if you did that the Slander Masters would crucify ya. Then life becomes unbearable.
AND IF OUCH (or Cozmic, or someone) was with us we would now see #46 "overbearing" a climber. Lynnie

Moosie, me being a "great climber" is so laughable that it's like trolling with bubble gum for bait.

Karl? Arrogant? The dude's mission statement is humility, but I hear he pulls hard for a peacenik.
The first person that comes to mind here is my good buddy Weschrist. It may be because of his 'youthful exhuberance' but sometimes he usually comes off as arrogant.

The best climbers are cocky, not arrogant.
