I think you guys are getting in over your heads.
That's because the ToleranceCommittee™® © ... is all out climbing.
They have their way blowing off steam ... And we have ours.

Remember your readings from the OP:

Tarbussier Profiles™: Identifying The Genuine Trad Climber

Disposition:
 abstruse
 haughty
 disingenuously competitive
 obsequious, if you are a holdin’
 thoroughly and completely unrepentant
 shiftless
 way, way stubborn


This whole thing was supposed to be just one big goof off.
And then we started have to answer to ... You know questions and stuff, from the opposition.

*We started in over our heads.

[Reader FYI: satire alert ... totally kidding here]

Thanks for the clean bill of health Locker! I've been trying to get a buddy to go climbing and he just won't come. We (as traditionalists) scare people! I mean, he's got muscles and stuff, but something is missing.
