marc_leclerc Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 So I was going to go bouldering at the bluffs and I saw this old guy rapping off of a single bolt... his harness looked a bit old too and he was using a munter hitch... I told him that I thought his style was bad and he told me he had been climbing longer than I have been alive and I was like 'well, I boulder like V crazy so I am entilted to an opinion and know stuff about climbing' and we were so mad I was ready to punch him and he yelled at me. ISN'T THAT FUCKING NUTS GUYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
