Why do you climb?

You just keep lying about the quality of your routes 

Where have I said this, at this point you are the subpar troll. Find one comment of me saying I bolted a master piece that someone subsequently called choss. (Your gonna claim it is too much work)

and think that all modern day classic routes were considered choss.  

Not all, just that some were and some were not. In alan watts own words, "people kept saying I was just bolting choss." I for one don't really get too worked up about whether a climb is amazing or bad till I climb it. I still don't get worked up. People act like they are on a god destined mission to climb the best splitter greatest climb ever it is just a rock. If you don't like it bomb it, if you love it give it four stars.

Bryan, Chode Rider and I are hoping to put up the worst 5.13 in Washington, it will pass through the crux of 6 different climbs totally obstructing an entire wall.

And this is why not everyone should be allowed to bolt. Smh


You’re a good troll on the internet but trolling in real life is next level. So kudos for that, but dear lord I hope you keep your shitbaggery in the PNW. A six route link up of “the worst 5.13” in the state is utterly ridiculous. I’m not advocating for chopping but I hope this thing gets chopped repeatedly.

Others have touched on. The meditation/relaxing nature of it. Even in the most stressing scenarios. I'm not thinking about anything else. It's such an intense singular focus. There is something incredible about that. It also helps re-baseline what is scary in life. First time I almost died in the mountains next large briefing I had time give at work was void of stress/fear.

Don’t worry, I’ll lighten up that route….that is, if your ice eating ass can ever climb 8a

Already have? I sent 45 5.12s last year (and maybe a  13a), so I don't think 13a is a big reach! I have already sent all the other routes, so in isolation I can do all the moves. Not too worried, also chode rider has youth and bryan bolted the most popular 13s in Washington.

Are you surprised? No climber has ever given a better reason than “because it’s there”

If you expect deep intellectual meaning you’re in the wrong place.

I'm surprised that he expected anything approaching actual intellectual reasoning on this entire site.

Fulfillment (not the same thing as meaning).  Joy (not the same thing as fun).

H, you hit it on the head. It has become part of my identity now and I don't know how to live without it, or who I would be without it.
