Don't you work at a climbing gym? Brainstorm quitting your job.

Have you heard of the great horny Garble? He snargles and snuffs from the Idaho bluffs and day drinks while posting his gargle.

Do you think the next recession will reduce the number of climbers, or just increase the number of sprinters wintering in Bishop?

ha! i think that question deserves its own thread

Climb hard, climb remote goals. It'll keep you away from the green newbs. Climbing hard also requires you to climb less. You require more rest this way. Find other things to do. If you find yourself surrounded by people that climb for fucking social hour, you're probably in denial, thinking you're all dedicated n shit. I love soloing, and having a partner that has mutual interests. I see a fucking music player almost every time I go to a climbing venue. It pisses me off more than seeing dog shit on the trail, and climbing through bird shit. Today's millennials are fucking everything up. Gotta get away from where they go.

Thanks Alex...  now MP has become a porn site.

Didn’t deter people at the Gunks. In fact, it became a popular thing to do for a while, to horrify the tourons at the overlook.

It’s still a thing at the gunks, but now it’s turned into a reason to go.

Fill mountain project with fake sport crags over Florida. Gumbies make the trek and never leave after they realize instagram photos on the beach get more likes.
win win

We should bitch more online. That’s the solution. Start climbing and close the door behind you. Nobody deserves to do what we do but ourselves. Or just be f/ing responsible and clean up after your self. Don’t blare Ted nugent and be a decent person. Stop leaving shit and toilet paper under a rock. Lick it before you stick it. And wrap it before you tap it. ( I am guilty of the last one. But. We are talking about you not me).

I'm sorry to disappoint, but with climbing being an Olympic sport now, it's going to get even more popular. I know Olympic climbing is indoors, but still, more people will get into it. 

Have all social media ban posting pictures about climbing.  

Shining up your ass is the new red shirt for climbing fotes.

Make all new climbers go thru a rigorous training course. Safety, First aid, rescue, Equipt use, etc etc
Just like for scuba.
Then be certified, with a card. Cards issued to only people who can lead at least 5.9 Trad, If caught climbing without a Climbing License, heavy fine!
Sport only climbers have to stay in a Gym until they qualify as a 5.9 trad leader and get their climbing license.
People who can't or won't lead are BARRED from Gyms or any outdoor climbing area!!!
