There is no class in spraying about a new dodgy headpoint. Describing a climber as being of a better class just because they climb a sketchfest is quite yawn inducing, particularly considering some of the folks who could do it are regular a-holes in real life.
I saw a climber with real class the other day. Still climbs very hard, has put up some of the most sought after routes in the country over a long time and is still having fun. Some climbers rapped off the Bluffs at Araps. he asked them what they had just done. they sheepishly replied 'Blockbuster'. He enthusiastically congratulated them and excitedly gave them his memories of when he did the route the first time. That is a better class of climber. |
