No one cares....seriously, no one cares. you are nothing, and the sooner you come to grips with that the less time you will waste away your life pretending climbing is some bad ass experience. its not..it just removes you from the pathetic mess you made in your 'real life'....quit running from that fact and grow up.
This is the greatest thing I've read in quite a while. Spot on. I would alter it to 'we are all self absorbed, fart stained, useless masses of water, delusional about how much our existence matters' This goes into a quote book if I get around to making one.

Offering an opinion of a route grade is healthy for climbing. One guys opinion does not make a down or up grade, but if they have the chops it certainly can influence things. Opinions are good things and give us something to yammer about.
It's good to see that the Red is now the best spot in the WORLD where you can show up and climb at your max without much adjusting to the area. Easy to read sequences is one thing but keep the grades honest.
