More dropped climbers

[pigsteak]

Nothing gets the board stirred up like dropped climbers or closed crags. Now if someone would only drop a climber causing the crag to get closed... that would be the ultimate thread.

Especially if it was a crag close to a state hwy (with double digit odd numbers) and the owners sprained their vaginas over hippies, hammocks, and perma draws after inviting the same to come and climb and enjoy the property after gaining work and committments of labor and funds from climbers locally and nationally. That would be mega ultimate. If such a place and situation even could exist.

oh the drama saga continues...poor entitled climbers feel like 5 minutes of sweaty hard labor entitles them to use the land into perpetuity. considering the 98% of climbers never helped out with money, labor, or packing out their turds, I am sure the owners of this illusory crag will not lose any sleep over the whiny 2%.

The root cause of both of these problems is inexperience and culture that has lost respect for belaying and falling. Steve Hong in a recent interview talked about how he had to work at loosing his trepidation of falling that was instilled early in his career through trad climbing. He contrasted that with his son, Matty, who was brought up with sport climbing and has no qualms at all with falling.
The crag culture embraces falling and a laissez-faire approach to belaying. Having arrogant kids in this culture is a recipe for disaster.

I am that. The longer I am around the less patience I have with young dipshits. That is the definition of old and crotchety.

I know... so disappointing. They can't even fall right these days.
