Nope, no disaster at all. I think I mentioned the climber in question got stuck for a while, got a work out and then got down. It was just an applied example of some of the theory that's been discussed previously in this thread. Personally I couldn't care how people chose to rap, very much their own decision, unless they happen to be simul-rapping with me in which case I'm a bit more interested.

BTW your "" make no sense at all.
