charlie, One thing that Stephanie Forte once said when people pushed her to learn trad is, "I decided instead being a well-rounded climber, I decided I'd rather be a well-rounded person." In other words, do what makes you happy. There are people here in my office that will stay until 9-11pm at night . They want to succeed and pop their way up the corporate ladder and I don't get it. They thrive on that and that makes them happy. Same goes for number pushers.
If you don't feel like climbing in the Red or even on a rope, that's okay. Make yourself and others happy by not doing it.

Good idea, Pig. Afterall, he's a closet supporter of Holy Mecca Movement of the Grand Tubesteak.

PS Can we change the name to something less machismo?

Thanks for all the concern y'all. It helps to know you care.

OK Steph, do you mean to imply that me not climbing in the Red is making other people happy? If so then I think I may just start hangin out again just out of spite! :twisted:

Charlie,

I'd absolutely hate it if you started climbing the Red. Don't do it. Don't. We don't need you.
