A few days ago I was climbing at the gym, and I was warming up on some like 5.9 anyway I was near the top and I decided to skip a hold and dyno for the heck of it. I do my partner laughs cause he knows I had it the whole way. I lower down and get yelled at by some guy who didnt work there or anything he goes off on my about how that is so dangerous and I should never do that again yada yada yada blah blah blah.
Question is did he have any right to yell at me for making my own move?

If you hurt yourself its your problem, not his. Besides, it really isn't that dangerous. You might hit your head on the wall, but that would be more funny than painfull. Besides, dnamic movement is an important, efficent climbing skill that should be practiced.

1. Remove chalkbag
2. Aim chalkbag at ass holes face
3. Claps hands together with chalkbag inbetween

Dynos rock. That guy was just a pussy. Maybe if you're 10 feet above your last clip you would worry. I wouldn't try it on an alien either.

What an ass hole...You should have just went and punched him out.
Obviously he doesnt really climb, or climb hard, cause Dynos are the best part of climbing.
If you are going for a good hold, i say go for it
but if its kindda manky be careful
i over strained a tendon in a comp doing a huge through to a 2 finger pocket about 6 feet away.
so be careful but let the dynos fly!

Sometimes you run accross people like that. Just ignore him and thank him for his deepest concern. Then get back on the route and dyno again. It's weird how people get these strange ideas in their head about what is and isn't safe. And no, dynos are not inherintly dangerous.

Sometimes the layouts of gyms are done poorly and a missed Dyno can cause you to swing into another climber in which case the person had the right to make a fuss, but other then that he should have kept his mouth shut.

that is when you wait till he is climbing the route you will swing into him. then you climb, dyno, and right after you hit him yell, "I got you good you f*cker!!"

i would have stared blankly at him, then try to do a whole route with dynos
jk. yeah. he's not a climber. don't worry. dynamic movement is sometimes a must, and if you weren't in danger of hurting someone else,who cares have fun, dyno's are usually safe

Dynos happen. You falling from missing a dyno, and falling from not being able to do the move equal the same thing. At least you went for it. Keep going for the dynos.
p.s. Chalk balls work best in flight when firm yet supple.

Ask him if he's done Corazon in Yosemite. Or Realization. Or anything in Rifle. Cuz if he can do those without dynos, he's got room to talk. If not, he's just spraying (probably because he's jealous).

Sure, he has the right to yell, just like you have the right to tell him to f**k off.

'cause we all know how much harder you fall after a dynamic move, and how much aliens suck. Dumbass.

You beat me to it Josh. I trust a bomber alien that I placed more than a new bolt that I don't know who placed it.
