It seems that most people aren't feeling true to themselves about saying they did The Legend if they only did it to the first set of anchors. I've seen a couple people fall past the first set on a redpoint burn and know for myself that the climbing isn't really over up there when you're pumping. I've also heard a couple people say, heads hung low, "Yea, I only did it to the first set of anchors though"
So, do you ever think people will start to cave over time and the second set of anchors will be forgotten? I think so. Just as starting with the second bolt pre-clipped on many lines or using cheater stones to reach the first set of holds, I think that the push to spray will win in the end.

I think that the low anchors should be removed. Im not trying to start a fight, it just seems like a simple answer.
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

If you yank out the first set of anchors no one will forget about the second set.
If you dont climb the last part of the route you are missing out on some really cool moves on totally solid rock. Pulling over the top bulge to clip teh chains is pumpy and you havnt sent the route unless you have done that.

I don't know what a chuffer is but, yes, I'll admit while working my way up to pulling hard moves, I must fall back on the having fun part.

DuppyC is definitely a chuffer with this bombardment of happy climbing shit. Climb angry and think of death. Only then will you reach the high grades and be able to pull on glass and razor blades while beating humans to death.
