A REAL climber, eh? What a load of crap.
And, I'm guessing, the "real, meaning one without an ego" is to explain a climber who makes no judgments and leaves his ethics behind while climbing the route...a rather idyllic notion you seem to see fit to apply largely in defense of the unrestricted use of bolts.
Perhaps, instead of "REAL climber", you might use the phrase a climber unconcerned with ethics, but simply enjoys climbing.
Your prolific and broad-brush use of the term "ego", of late, no longer helps you, but rather, it portrays that you know only a coloquial or connotative definition that you're beating into the ground.
My, admittedly, archaic definition of a "REAL" climber would include: someone who delights in climbing a route less traveled, does so in fashion that is nearly undetectable to a subsequent party, and installs a bolt as an absolute last resort accompanied by a pinch of regret.
