Do you swing both ways?

Do you swing both ways?

I usually hate polls, but I'm curious about how many of us climb both trad and sport, and how many of us stick specifically to one style of climbing. I'm bi, for the purposes of this poll. :wink:

I mainly climb sport but have led trad once. Loved it and look forward to doing more of it as the opportunity presents itself.

Definitely bi in this case. I'm so glad Loren convinced me to experiment! And I'm really thankful for everyone else who has let me use their toys to keep things interesting.

Both. I prefer trad, but I still love sport climbing. I think of it like a mistress. Bouldering too, but its more like the gimp.

Can you guys tell me why you like one over the other? Just curious. Would that make me "bi-curious"? haha - sorry...that was pure cheese. But seriously, I would like to know why you like one over the other....do tell.

When I am out to project and push my physical limit, I'm all about sport climbing but when the weather sucks or I am out of shape I love nothing better than a weekend at Seneca. I'm still not at all fond of the trad at the Red, but that's just me :D
