Do trad climbers have a lot of gear...

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

Ah, this individual is a CLASSIC traddie

1. Subtle spray about all the badass 'battles' this traddie has been part of
2. An unnecessarily large gear collection that outweights climbing ability.
3. Loud hating of all other climbing disciplines.

If you are still doubting, just consider how long it took the traddie to arrange all this gear on his/hers poop colored carpet...

Now, even though this individual is pretty far down the road of the hopeless traddie, there is still hope for him/her to enter functional non-traddie society. A rigorous three step de-traddiefication regiment must be followed

1.Attempt to climb something harder than 5.6 instead of just racking gear/spraying.

2. After experiencing epic falure, the traddie should sell all his/her gear and use the money to board the first airplane to a non-traddie destination such as hueco/rrg

3. Actually gain some sort of rock climbing ability at non-traddie destination of choice.
