new climber: tries climbing outside instead

MP hardman: Damn newbies climbing at my crag!

Make a MP.com troll the spokesman for the sport?

Francois, I would probably create a new thread in the "General Climbing" forum. Click Here

Thank you Dylan !

I got into climbing in 1999. I have friends who got into this lovely sport or hobby in the 70s. My question is what day or specific date are we gonna settle on as the line in the sand for who is legally allowed to love the act of climbing on rocks. Just to clarify should we create a test or just create a dictatorship or capitalist cast system. We could have the 1% best climbers decide the fate of the other 99% of climbers future in the sport. Thankfully I’m in the 1% so screw all you shitty climbers. Go do something that makes you special somewhere else. The outdoors are meant to be exclusive to the few. Everyone else can go live less quality lives in a big city with no trees. Oh yeah, don’t get into Mt. Biking or hiking cause there’s only so many trees out there. I need pure focus for my hardcore (and might I add superior) sends and seeing your face distracts me unless of course your praising me for how special I am and why I deserve something that you don’t in which case I’ll allow you to watch from a distance. 

Also, I know tradiban is trolling but I love these convos. They keep climbing forums fun and silly. 

I personally think trolling is one of the higher forms of comedy, the only negative about trolling it is that it is very easy punching down. A really great troll is able to get a group of people with similar intelligence level going...which is quite easy for tradiban to do on mp.com...

So, You are one of those 1 percenters that walk around with a cam balanced on his nose.

In 1999 I had been climbing for 35 years so I vote that you go BACK to the GYM and stay there with the rest of the gym wankers
climbing the 5.14 routes the setters set up.

make aid climbing cool again

It always was.

Sheesh I know a dozen canyons as good as IC but no paved road means no crowds. Quit complaining and get out there.

I would be for banning guiding. Of course this makes guides upset but there are other ways to make money in the world.

Perhaps this would deter those "unworthy" of climbing from ever going outside. If you need a guide to go climbing are you "worthy" anyway?!

There are many here that wish to be escorted up the mountains.  Do not insult them or they will be forced to pay someone to whoop your ass.  

Equip all new climbers with gear purchased from Alibaba or Wish. That should thin the herd quickly.

It's all about perspective.

Get people out of climbing- get rid of chalk.  It's a fancy way to justify littering.

Riding a ten speed in a futuristic tron outfit with 56 of your closest friends is way cooler. Plus, it is picking up momentum as a green alternative to car commuting. Support your local cyclists! Rocks bad, open roads with 10 speeds of momentum, gooooooood.

you all are a bunch of fucking looser's i'm never posting anything on this site ever again.
