What other sports can you do that in?
All the fanboi stuff and facebook page creation will put an end to that. Keep climbing poor, weird and stupid.

All of them, it's just that you suck, so you can "rub"their shoulders. And why the hell were you rubbing Adam Ondra's shoulders?

let's be clear here...we do NOT participate in the same arena...put a little league fence next to the nachos at yankee stadium and now we are all derek jeter? now, go to some sanctioned indoor comp and compete in the same open division, now you are in the same arena....I think right now we'd be called, er, fluffers.
If Federer is playing tennis, do you think I can walk on to the court beside him?
If Tiger is golfing, ya think I am gonna be in the foursome behind him?
How about swimming in the lane next to Phelps?
It is not that we are the same level of these guys, it is just that outdoor climbing is a venue that is not controlled in the same way of many other sports.
I know Piggy, I know... of course rock climbing isn't really a sport.
