  1. At its heart, CascadeClimbers is a lot like high school. It's an honor to talk to Oly, or people like him. It means you've paid your dues. Paying your dues means spraying even if your heroes tell you you're worthless, even if you bang your fingers, and sometimes a lot more, on the keyboard. It means you've suffered for the spray. Paying your dues is caring less about looking the part than about showing your face often enough for the soul-spraying community to consider you sufficiently committed. MisterE has earned the right because he has been spraying on the site so long that he knows everyone. And he makes a contribution to the general welfare of the spray subculture that Oly particularly enjoys

    MFT?

    Well, sure, if you want to cheat and go look at the Grivel site.

     

    Still- check out his new side project. Very entertaining. I was thinking you & I could open up a Seattle franchise.

    MFT?

    Did MFT leave Grivel North America?

     

    my internet wanderings led me to this- it sounds like he's doing something completely different now.

     

    It also sounds like something more up his alley (cult leader) than sitting behind a desk.

  2. I'll buy economics for the professional ranks.

     

    At the dilettante level, things are a little less lilly white. The bouldering fields of Squish for example- a fair representation of Asians & Hispanics, but that just makes the absence of black people more pronounced. I know a hell of a lot of climbers, and I can count the black climbers I know on one hand.
