I heard before but I found out about Max's send on the internet in about 5 seconds by typing "new zealand max punks in the gym" in google. So again... You dont really care. Your not shedding light on hard redpoints. Your talking shit about something you dont do, which is climb hard, to justify your own fat ass. Its actually quite embarrassing.

So here comes the armchair sociologist. Again, if someone climbs harder than you because they train, they by definition are not having fun. And your one and only anecdote has been proven to be false. My experience is the exact opposite. Also you are totally stereotyping Mayan. Also... Who the hell are you, really? Do I know you? Because if this is some fat pencil pushing internet twit, I wont waste my time on this.

Yeah, the thrill of success and victory vs. depression and sometimes very real pain of failure are not for you. Keep taking prozac and suck off the mediocre armpit of life.
