I know several 5.13 climbers and one 5.14 climber who defies Alan's and Kiribell's position on this issue. All of those climbers have hung ropes for me, belayed me and never complained or insinuated that my climbing was less important than theirs. I've only been climbing a few years but that has been my experience. In fact, Andrew is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. No one follows him around with a camera...oh wait, there was Spencer. But Andrew got tired of that too...after 90000 shots!

Two years ago during the PBC in Arizona, I was trying out this highball problem that had skulls and crossbones on it as a rating. When I finally topped out, there was a huge burst of cheering - like hundreds of people! I was so ecstatic! Then I turned around and realized that a few yards away from me, Chris Sharma just topped out the problem he was on the same time I did mine.
Still, a bunch of people congratulated me for being brave enough to try the scary problem.... even Sharma smiled and nodded as he walked by.... ::sigh::

Maybe if you didn't write so much, Tinkerbell, she would have the time and energy to read your post instead of looking for summary/interpretation from others ...

yo meadows...let me borrow from wes..."are you sprag's press agent?"...lol
pigsteak's message is so overdone that even the summary needs a summary. now, if I only knew what that message was. kiribell is giving me a run for my money as being the most irritating person on here. I hate competition.

Polishing my ATC?
I'm sorry if you think I suck (btw, care to state the other reasons?) because you don't even know me. I think you're the one guilty of villainization with this kind of attack on me - and Spragwa. I said nothing more about you other than you write long posts and you can't possibly expect someone to thoroughly read them and comprehend them. Meaning can get lost in laborious writing. Why so defensive? I'm just more succinct and I'm sorry that offends/baffles you (you said I don't make sense). Maybe if you try that approach, YOU would make sense.
Pigsteak actually called you the most irritating person on here and you said nothing, so I am curious to know where this animosity with me actually lies.

This will be the last and final response to anything you post to me now and forever. You're not even a worthy thread jousting opponent like Hor or Pigsteak..You're just.....irrelevant - **yawn**
Now that sounds childish ... maybe you're the one who is irrelevant and only in search of positive attention/criticism, hence your rank.
