I would like to provide the following interpretation of Majid's red arrows:
If the third bolt blows, Lady Sport will head butt the most well behaved crag dog EVER.

thats why I love my grigri; partner gets more upset when I feed my dog, call for beta, and dig for snacks while they're on an atc.

well if this was a real situation, seems like someone needs to learn how to place bolts where you don't need a stick clip, or hanging on bolts...

You don't need a stick clip if you can climb the moves!

Oh, I get it now. It's the FA's fault that you can't do the moves. Thank you for explaining, b/c all along I thought the fault was with me.
And yeah, it's a joke that is funny b/c I have seen pretty much all of the described behaviors.

That water tip is definitely a joke! A pint of water weighs about a pound - I did not spend $150 on a full set of six draws to save a 1/4 lb, only to weigh my body down with a pound (or more!) of water. Yellow urine is fine, you can always keep a bottle of gatorade in the car for the ride home.

Am I the only person that understands that the article is serious about everything (except the wet dog)?

Sticky pads are no joke. On certain routes they turn marginal knee bars into solid stances.

But he tries so hard to not sound like the clueless n00b that he is.
I find it rather endearing.

You're honestly annoyed by the very sight of a belay device? Dog food? Get help, man.
There is no cheating in climbing. You can stick clip every bolt, yard on gear, use your knees (with or without the recommended pads), etc. Hell, you can even use a blue hold when you're climbing the green route. It's all a question of style, and the only offense is misrepresenting how you do something.
