ooOOOOooooh! Aren't we special?ynot wrote:I don't agree, M Medic. Maybe beginners should have to invest some dough and learn from a seasoned climber. Then It wouldnt be so crowded with backclipping gumbies . Buying a rack just shows that you are commited to climbing. None of that weekend sport climbing tourist BS.like annoying dogs,litter,and route hogging.
It has crossed lots of bolters minds to put up a bunch of easy lines,someone did and thats exactly what you find every weekend there.
You've got a point, and the whole horde-o-gumbies thing annoys me too. But did you ever think that some of those beginners leading 5.6 sport might be having more fun than you had that day?
If anything, there is a need for a lot more 5.6 to 5.8 sport routes. The safest thing is for beginner leaders to lead stuff way below their limit so they can concentrate on things like not back-clipping, rather than worrying about some hard, complicated sequence where they end up too pumped to clip?
