Well, if one bags a peak, one is not just all talk. |
|
|
peak *braggers* are chuffers- |
|
|
I know of a dude who is crushing 13 and 14's inbetween his peak bagging right now |
|
|
Whats funny, is I read the title and immediately thought. This kid is in his early 20's and lives in Colorado, probably just sent his first 5.12 |
|
|
There is nothing in reality that I can offer that could even possibly change the OP mind on this, which is an entirely accurate statement. |

some exceptions to your assertion here in CA |

Marmots are cute enough to warrant rehabilitation. |

At least peak baggers aren't complaining about culturally insensitive climbing holds. |
|
|
Your mind doesn't need to be changed; it's nice and compact right now. |

Nice Long Ranger! |

As long as people are having fun outside who the hell cares? |

If you are referring to people who drive up Mount Evans or Pikes Peak, take a summit photo, and drive back down, you are right. |

Peakbagging is as close to alpinism as it gets in the states. Therefore, peakbaggers are the alpinists of America. Seems pretty cool to me, and much more badass than bouldering or sport cragging |

I'd throw in $50 to see the OP do the Sangre de Cristo traverse per Long Ranger |
