what pigsteak thinks about it

this is really just a continuation of a conversation in the torrent falls thread. that thread has taken a serious turn and i figured i could be polite and spin this off somwhere else:
i fail to see how any of this is about you being a pig f*er.now, about the pigf*er comment....
as long as you are over 50 or older than Ed Mank can you use age and bad knees as an excuse for not trying harder. And no need to jump on Wes' shit. He just stated the other "facts" you want to dismiss. You like easy trad because you have no other options. Climbing harder opens up many doors, period.
So instead of getting on the soap box of trad leads to somewhere (it doesn't ) or it is a more pure form of climbing (it isn't), think a bit. Old woman, do you own a full trad rack and actually lead these lines, or are you top roping them or following someone else's leads? if this is the case, then that is no different than TR'ing a sport line.
Climbing is climbing is climbing......and all equally futile
