I'm too poor to climb

People that spend all there time climbing are poor from spending all their money for climbing. I have nothing to show for years of hard work, but I have the memories of a thousand lifetimes. I will continue to work hard and be poor spending every penny on climbing in some way shape or form. And I def won't be spending anything on education. College makes you stupid, don't ya know!!!

usurping as much fruits/grains/meats of the earth as possible, trouncing through rare species of vegetation & ancient ruins, depressing the local peoples with a ruthless onslaught of tourism, creating a void of culture and a vacuum of the soul..... all in the name of what??? ... your memories..... BAH! emperorialist pigs claiming poverty...... again BAH!!!!

If you are being sarcastic, which i really hope you are, you not doing a good job. If not, where are you getting your information. climbers don't depress the locals, we just climb. and we have created a culture for ourselves, not a void of culture. i don't know who you've been climbing with but all the climbers i know are quite cultured. and how are we imperialists? we don't go into other countries and conquer the locals. we don't even try to convert them to our ideals? What are you smoking?

Climbing is free, you just need to pay for the optional performance boosters and safety equipment.

Nothing is free, Matt. Climbing like everything requires some sort of payment - supposing you could magically teleport to a crag, it still requires time at the very least. Time which you could be using to make money or do something else. Without equipment the ultimate cost is death and that sounds like a ridiculously high price to pay to recreate, don't cha think?

Ima Fred Knot wrote:Could it be the old school dirt bags are responsible for the shift in the climbing population? Imagine this...an old schooler hones his/her skills by climbing all the time and develops a cool little gadget in the process. As the old schooler gets older he/she markets that gadget to other climbers in order to fund more trips and maintain a sustainable diet. This gadget is accepted and becomes the norm, making the old schooler rich. Soon the old schooler becomes an entrepreneur and sells more gadgets. Climbing becomes safer and more fun (attracting a greater population). The entrepreneur gets richer, their business grows, gadgets becomes for refined, market forces create competition and innovation and cycle continues. In the end an irreversible shift has occured creating a larger population of climbers the old schooler loaths personally but likes financially.

wait..u mean like chouinard? never heard of such a thing:)
