Woozle, Lachlan (poindexter), The Gecko (uni boy), WM (?) John. You guys need to stay back for extra tuition, at the school of respect. Settle in while Damey teaches.....

I'll let my climbing do the talking

>My goodness! Seems Damien has made an impression elsewhere..... Strike Three for "Revenge of the Nerds"!

Yep you are spot on, if you fail to make in the real world, or on the rock, you can make it big on the forum

> put damo back on the line !
the troll is getting tired and lame.

Damey's back online babey, there was a bit of a hickup yesterday (Woozle?) so I was lying low but it turned out to be a false alarm

Now, that I have finished dealing with those pesky punters, back onto the original subject. I find women in climbing to be a realy interesting thing, especially given that their primary role (I think, correct me if otherwise) in life is to rear cubs - to draw a parralel with other animals - right. It is then interesting that girls would be getting into something that is so dangerous that threatens their ability to reproduce. That might be a bit harsh because it is such a fun sport. On another, more selfish perspective, if you are out climbing with your women it kind of takes away the novelty of coming back to the tent for a hug, kiss and a cuppa after a hard days climbing.

IN terms of the competition thing, the physiology of it means that physical competition between men and women is redundant. Women are better at plenty of things, ie empathy is a big one that comes to mind, I can do more pull ups. If you accept that there is no ploblem. Sorry if any offence, none intended
