In reply to: Sweet, Lynn made it to round 3! She's up against a triathlete now, looks like a formidable opponent. Vote vote!
She's getting creamed in this round... 65% to 35% when I voted.
Better hurry up and vote.

Give the woman some respect and your vote. This triathlete has nothing on her. Lynn has done more for our sport than the triathlete has done for hers.

OK I'll admit to not reading the whole thread so if this is a repeat comment--sorry.
Many of us oldsters were first introduced to Lynn Hill on a TV show called (I think) Survival of the Fittest. That was ~20 years ago and I had never climbed at that point. It was a bunch of athletes competing in a bunch of different events. Lynn Hill totally dominated.
I think she won it several times. Lynn Hill is not just a great female climber-she is a great athlete-male or female.

Too Late, she lost with 35% of the vote. Not bad though for someone unknown to most of the world. Bet she could beat the tri-suit off of that Barb woman, if she wanted to. She probably would not want to though.

:? This kind of "who's the greatest" voting is really inane. It demeans the spirit of climbing. If you really want to get into who are the best climbers then you've got to cast your vote for the great free-soloists, who are as far as I know all male. That is not a chauvinistic statement, so do not come back with some politically correct nonsense. It's simply a fact. If pressed to cast my vote for climbing's ultimate aficianados it would be for names like Peter Croft, John Bachar, the late John "Yabo" Yablonski, the late Derek Hersey, the late Wolfgang Gullich, Tomo Cesan, and others of their ilk. When men ascend difficult multi-pitch routes without ropes (as when Croft free-soloed Astroman) you are witnessing the unequaled zenith of climbing. The rest of us are mere pretenders to the throne, including Lynn Hill, because we need our ropes.

I think its pretty unreasonable to even compare climbing to these other sports. Lets see how well Serina and Mia hamm play their game when they know death comes if they loose... Im not saying that they are not great, but compareing these athletes is like trying to vote for the best bird species when your options are a couple of grade A chickens and a falcon... not to mention your judges are a bunch of chicken enthusiests.

Speak for yourself. As I wouldn't know, how does it feel to be a true moron? Please feel free to have a wank and pop your zits in the mirror before responding.
