Agreed, it's moronic. But it's not fair to call them an asshole. Sure, you have every right to be pissed.
dont get into this semantic bullshit. if you are not carefull enough when you are climbing that you endanger someone else, you ar an ass-hole. and so is alex lowe for doing it. i dont give a shit who you are. leading ice is not fucking around. what if you knocked the guy off and he took a 60 footer onto some shitty screw? when you progress past lowering off ice climbs to pose for chest beat shots then you can talk.
