By: Mike McGlynn When: Mar 4, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Hopefully this restructuring will get Climbing back to a point where it doesn't sound like it was written by a bunch of college students that are to wise for their own good.
I let my subscription expire after reading one to many snide comments poking fun at one climbing area or another. The climbing community is very broad and diverse, and - even if it isn't your cup of tea - there is no good that comes from claiming that your personal interest, or area, is superior to someone else's.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Second Pullout : Black Corridor : 757 2x4 (5.7)
