Mouse, you're right. It's actually better to be strong than to resort to fading in order to do a hard send. You're better off to eat shitloads at your age while you're growing and build muscle - you'll be a better and happier climber in the long run plus - most importantly, you'll pull more chicks.

What's the point of being able to send 30+ when you can't even pull at the pub because you're anemic and you look like a fairy.

I can think of nothing better after a hard day of cranking in the blueys than to head to the Vic for a steak, some beers and chase squirrels
