some of this crap comes down to honesty vs self deception.
i.e . some rich mf who gets pulled up everest and feels for one second that he is
messner's buddy .
or. the equivalent in rock, some guy who spends weeks rehearsing the moves of a
5.13 on the rope and SAYS he climbs at that grade.(all do)
red? pink? wtf. can you CLIMB the mf. alone. few can and that is how it should remain.
if we remove the posing, and are honest, THEN, the accomplishement is what it is.
