I'm trying to find the logical flow to some of the thinking above. It seems that if a staunchly traditional climber comes along and chops a sport climb so that it's (potentially) dangerous for a staunch sport climber, the resulting epic, precipitated by the traditional climber, will somehow convert the sport climber to the former's way of thinking.
Personally I'd think it more likely the sport climber gets pissed off and responds in kind to the bolt-foolery... |
