The whole notion of climbers and style points is kinda funny. Climbers are obsessive geeks that just go climbing.
You can not look cool or stylish while doing the following things: driving with a mattress on top of your car, riding an exercise bike, using an elliptical runner, having a bout of diarrhea, putting on socks...and climbing up or crawling away from mountains and struggling to survive. All of these things, climbing/crawling/surviving included, are just things that you gotta do sometimes.
Basketball players, etc have style.
Anyway, just sayin'...
