How about..
Local climber: Someone who frequently climbs at a particular area and lives within reasonably close proximity.

What in the world are you getting at? Strange way to subvert Scott's forum series, for some sorta personal argument....

how about you just edit away this thread? Or, make a point?

ex-local

I'm a Colorado transplant, but I always heard to be a local you had to have a local library card.

Well, pseud-dude, the two above definitions are pretty good for "local", right? And that was me, but I moved away... I still have my pima county library card, though, so maybe I'm a pseudo-local? semi-local?

Anyways, what's your beef? And Zboys selling out? huh?

One could probably be adopted as a local, too...

Here, I think it's defined as "Ute Indian".

Some one who cares about the environmental impact they have in their area. Someone who buys local food and shops at local businesses. Someone who lives and works in the area and keeps their money in the area. Somone who helps the local people to be independent and gives back to the community as a whole not just as a climber. Volunteers, folks who live off the land. The rest are just a bunch of icky city folk who care only about their personnel gain and not their spiritual progress. The rest are just burdens on a healthy community.

Im not interested at all in a growing economy. I would rather it collapsed all together.
