This purity you seek is only an illusion.

In reply to: Henry Barber said that the purest form of climbing was the barefoot, chalkless, onsight, free solo first ascent. Everything else is compromised. good enough for me.

Since when is a Ren & Stimpy fan concerned about a stoner's language.

In reply to: The trivial danger renders it impure. There is no oppostion, since you cannot fall (more than a few feet, at least.) Where there is climbing, there should also be falling. And a well trafficked toprope has more impact than an obscure sport route.
I'm gonna do some nice, friendly highballs this weekend. Like toproping, I'll be worried about trying to make it to the top, not getting hurt. It'll be a little too chilly to do it naked or barefoot, though.

Ha! A frequent misconjecture due the appellation with which I've appointed myself...my handle refers to the single large piton I've driven, not my preference in mind-altering substances (of which I've sampled in my youth, but from which I currently abstain)

climbing is just as much psychological as it is physical....
without having to think beyond the rock to get you past a crux, climbing won't be climbing i think...top rope is totally different...its easier always...its a mainly for fun or beginners(EVEN FOR BEGINNERS, THEY MAY HAVE THE FEAR OF HEIGHTS, SO THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL ELEMENT IS STILL THERE)...but leading and seconding, i'd rather do any day than top roping...this is very hard for me to think about and explain at the same time....sorry.
(great thread though :righton: weither i disagree or not)

Baa! Butt dragging lowball traverses from sit-down starts to sit-down ends. I fear no fall but for the pinecone poking my left asscheek.

the purest form of climbing is starting at the bottem with all your gear (or without gear if u choose to free solo) and no beta or route description, and then getting to the top without using anything preplaced or leaving anything behind.
thats just my opinion
