Greg_W Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Saw the new "Climbing" Magazine on the rack the other day proclaiming Chris Sharma "America's best climber". What a load of shit. Didn't that punk just start roped climbing again? Whoopee that he can climb sick-hard shit. What about well-rounded climbers like Dean Potter or Timmy O'Neil? Just made me shake my head. Spray on...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Mr. Specialed, the syphilis has clearly gone to your head. Try cutting that aesthetic blight off and see if the situation improves. If not, go take a dirtnap, you unshaven donkey-humper. Quote

Off_White Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Climbing jumped the shark years and years ago, when their covers went from great photographs to portraits structured to fit in those garish blurbs and come ons, like they want to be People magazine, or as if the right sensational headline will inspire some passerby to purchase the magazine. I guess simple elegance just doesn't cut it in publishing anymore. Quote
Sphinx Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Alpinist or whatever it's called is pretty damn good. Quote
