I'm going to assume Duran's comments are typical millennial self amusement attempt at trolling and was not based on any serious observations. Something MP.com is seeing more and more of, which I believe another recent contributor wrote about a few weeks ago, the unnecessary negativity and hostility on the boards.
Its the Forum, not the Coliseum, your expected to be contributors. The old maxim definitely applies; if you cant say anything nice(/professional respectfully criticism also accepted), don't say anything at all.
I remember reading this article and being surprised by many climbs that made the list. I believe the magazine was based largely on the list of classics here on MP, a list that seems to be determined both by number of ticks and star rating, making it closer to a list of the most popular sport routes than anything else. There's a big difference between an area classic and a top 100 sport climb, but that's just my 2 cents.
Well I'm glad they included a route at Holcomb - I haven't climbed enough sport routes in the US to determine whether PP is in the top 100 or even whether Holcomb deserves to be included, It's more than likely in the top 20 at Holcomb, but I personally don't think it's the best route there, I gave it three stars. Don't ask me to pick my favorite route at Holcomb - Coyotes in the Henhouse is pretty close to being perfect though.

Oh man. Leonids is so good... I forgot that climb existed. One of my favorites.

So true! The staff wants to be famous climbers Have you seen the insulting how to videos? A nice life if you can get to be paid to go climbing then just help sell total B.S. to people who do not know any better. I waited for my last issue to arrive. I will not renew and will not look at the rag again. A sad fact after 30+ years. . They put out areas that should be word of mouth and don't care wha the consequences may be. Who is Julie Elison? ( spelling ?, I don't care)
