I would also claim that these people don't actually climb outdoors that much. When I started, I started outdoors and the ethos was that you learnt, and were taught and encouraged, by the better climbers around you. I'm sure its not that simple and that it absolutely does not excuse wankerish behaviour, its just a gut felling that I have. |
