Just read the Qurank thread and there's some good points there to think about, eh.

Just in my own opinion I really like what Manacubus and Captain Worm had to say, basically as long as your honest about the style you climbed and that you don't stop other people from achieving the climb in 'their own style' (maybe interpret as in a more purist style?) then that's cool. It kind of runs true for that massive debate about protecting and chipping a route that started in the '34?' thread too.

Just a question, I know bugger all about high altitude climbing and the drugs used to combat the related illnesses, so is there a clear line between what drugs are solely for 1st aid/emergency and what is performance enhancing or is it more like whether or not modern pro has made routes more climbable?
