As someone who has been toying with his "climbing identity"... please elaborate!

maybe someone who was raised in a strict trad climbing household and is afraid to come out as a boulderer due to the shame it would cause his friends and family?

this should be an a&e series

Hmmmmmm... well lets see. I would have to say a climber climbs and someone who climbs tells people about how they are a climber... and trolls MP all god damn day. haha do you have any thoughts? this should be a topic in itself i suppose.

Sweet Jesus. sorry but i wasn't able to get past this.

Not all gym climbers are assholes.... but do all assholes climb at the gym?

Yes you are buddha that is it Yes Exactly that is the perfect example every silly harness wearing climber should know and be able to see both sides of the siege and the volume of over kill that occurred in pursuit of the summit (the noise that the compressor made drowned out the sound of the jet stream rushing between the teeth of the world, Huffing on diesel fumes while climbing in those Mnts etc.) An event that should point out that it is the journey not the summit although the summit is still there and summits are nice (very much what some would say is the point!!) {some times I wear a harness and a helmet too}
