It seems we are our own worse enemy.

This was on the Yahoo front page. Its one of the first things you see when you sign on. It wont be too long before you meet someone at Roadside who says the Nat Geo video inspired them to climb 5.14c. Of couse 14 will be the new twelve...

What is your point???

That article will do more for rock climbers then you can ever dream of. Nat Geo has a lot of pull in this country and the world. You will see some results from this article in the next 5 years or less. The department of the interior has already commented on this article and is on our side on a few of the issues (BASE and other things).

Keep hating, but I think this will help us in the long run.

I'm not hatin', I'm just saying. I like company when I climb. You'll never catch me complaining about other people climbing. I think the world would be a better and more well adjusted place if everyone climbed. It centers, it makes fit and its social. What better way to spend your time...I'm by no means hatin'.
