What is your primary reason for going to the crag? (not indoor climbing) My guess is it has very little to do with actual climbing, and you could get these needs fulfilled in many other ways too.
and your post title and question are two very different things.. my primary reason and my goals aren't the same. and yes, my primary reason could be fulfilled in many other ways but there are tons of secondary reasons i go and climbing is the best way to get them all together in one nice little neat duty-free package.

lordjim, ya gotta it all wrong brah...you are what ails this country, brah..once you climb 5.12, you join the ranks of a real climber. you don't bump any one else off the list..you just get to make the rulez, brah. peace.
I love onsiting but my primary reason for climbing is to redpoint hard lines. I want to be a solid 5.13 climber. That means bagging at least one 5.13 a week within a handful of tries.
Yo Ray jack dynomite! Listen to my beat box! Bew ch ch pff BEW ch ch pfff! Sweet!
I'm with you SCIN...I long for the day when I can call myself a solid 5.13 climber. It will feel like all the determined training has paid off. And if it never comes, the rewards of pushing myself were still plentiful.
