You're almost right. The only REAL climbers are naked free soloists that don't use their feet.

I wonder when the internet will get sick of putting them up so I can knock them down?

I think it's important to note that there is a world of difference between trawling and trolling. The former is a fishing technique used in an effort to hook some unsuspecting fishies (setting up a delicious meal for later). The later is a posting technique used in an effort to hook some unsuspecting posters (setting up a delicious flame war).

Geez.

Trolling is a fishing technique where bait is pulled behind a boat in areas where fish are thought to be. Eventually if you have the correct bait some fish will bite. I think trawling is done with a net and used in commercial fishing operations. I am too lazy to look it up but that is my understanding and I have been known to fish. I never troll for fish as it is not as rewarding as spot and stalk.

I'm halfway considering locking this thread just to set a precedent for this kind of bullshit. I'm all for having lighthearted topics that poke fun at our sport, but at some point this place would do well to not turn into RC.com.

This is probably irrelevant; but as a Luddite I'm wondering if lousy spelling and grammer are legitimately the function of the posters' ability, or some sort of online fashion statement? Just curious...
Later-yeah, thanks Bob; grammar. As I was writing, there was a bell in my brain ringing a foul; did I listen?

looks like all you do is climb in gyms...i'm not saying that sport climbers aren't real climbers im just saying trad seperates the men from the boys.

Trad is a selfish form of climbing. What about your family? So what if I only climb in gyms it's safe.

Easy there fellas. Whether it's Sport, Trad, Bouldering, Alpine or Aid, it's all climbing. Just enjoy the climb whatever form it happens to be.

Sport climbing is more selfish than trad climbing because with sport climbs you must place bolts into the natural rock whereas with trad, we place and then remove gear with no harm to the rock. So drill that bolt you selfish bastard ;^)

It's all good, though.

this thread is so obviously a troll that i think you would be completely justified to baninate this guy.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
