How has the climbing of rocks become a sport filled with the sacless?!
Because the new gym generation wants to do all the impossible gymnastic impressive numbers routes without any chance of getting hurt.
5.14 sounds so much more impressive than 5.8X, don't you think?

Many have expressed my sentiment.
If you are at the limits of your ability and run out, not smart.
If you are climbing strong and in the zone, that's what it is all about.

It just seems to me that if the bolts or other pro are at natural stances, you should climb between them. Really good routes are in harmony with the stone, and sometimes require that the climber ante up to climb them. I don't understand how someone thinks that is "dumb".
Well put!

Smart people who like runouts become skilled climbers.
Retarded people who like runouts just move on to become ice climbers.
Really f*#ked up people who like runouts start free-soloing.
