> I'm a new climber and a trad only climber and couldn't imagine climbing any other way That's as may be, but there are hoards of people (especially in the Sydney/Blue Mountains area), who have got into climbing via the gym and who only 'sport climb'. The trouble with sport climbing is that it turns on its head any previous concepts in climbing about doing more with less. You need a fully-equipped cliff to go sport climbing. I think Kevin raises a good question - how can we turn generations of new entrants into 'climbers' rather than just 'sport climbers'? The further leap is how can we protect existing climbs from being turned into sport climbs because that's what is going to happen (already happening).
