ketch Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 So I was just over for a brief visit to RC.com. It struck me as funny. That the board which is "for more serious climbers" in manys opinion had only a brief note regarding the recent passing of Bradford Washburn. Mostly oriented around the "who was that?" and how to find out about him. Yet on a trip here, to the board for insensitve jerks, there was a definate sense of persons who knew and cared. What are you guys doing to our reputation? Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 There are a lot more old guys here. RC.com is mostly 20-something boulderers and sport climbers. Quote
ketch Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 Hence the anamoly part. The old farts are supposed to be the sensitve, gentle types. The new kids are the social beginners. But then again another person on this board once accused me of being a sourdough Maybe when your that old you loose your teeth. Quote
meadlx200 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 It's like grad school or any discipline for that matter,...you should be familiar with the literature...past and current. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I'm a 20-something male, who had the good fortune to learn from a well seasoned older climber. I mostly enjoy climbing with these older types, since they share most of my ethical climbing points of view and tend to be less competitive. Lots of cool stories, too :tup: Quote

Weekend_Climberz Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Oh, and I forgot to mention that they make me look good on the rock, too. Except for CBS, he's to hardcore for me Quote
