His defn of Bouldering is /what/!?! I'd like to know what's going on here...

That quote pisses me off. (Aussie pride?)

Super-hyper-positive sandbagging pisses me off.

sand-bagging, fine.
(tongue in cheek sandbagging see, Zac V's, smitten, "it's all jugs")
being positive, fine.

But if you think somethings easy, don't be all like:
> [X] took me about 10 minutes and didn’t feel too hard, so who knows about the grade,

arrrg! - /you/ know about the grade! - you're a pro, you have an opinion, you've climbed 100's of v+10's...

Maybe my peev is with the writing... they're all nice guys... it's a blog from a climber

("like, dude, we cleaned it & like dude, the holds were & then whoa, projects everywhere - I'm glad I packed extra beanies...")
