Finally, it all makes sense. Sport climbing is incest!

I think he directly quoted the friend rather than paraphrasing him anyway.

Really? I'm sure I can make you change your mind on that one. Boring maybe; that is subjective. Easy; just like any other sport, only if you want it to be.

Trad is for Gear Nerds
Sport is for Social Gatherings
Boudering is for something to do when your too high for anything else...

Party

Sport vs Trad Anaolgy:

Trad. Beating yourself, cuz it's so good when you stop.

Spurt. Stopping yourself cuz it's so good when your beat.

Just sayin'

buildering and tree climbing = gateway activities

trad climbing = the way to go when young and at your prime

sport climbing = still hunting numbers when older, but safer with less hassle

free solo = for the masters of the sport

mountaineering = for those that live to climb

ice = for those that cannot afford to travel south for winter and who are just desperate to get out

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
