I think you're being a tad dramatic. I don't think you need to worry about that sort of stuff too much.

But to follow you into the discussion nonethless - I think all boundaries of climbing are being pushed at the moment - free, trad, solo, womanizing, speed solo etc. People are still doing insanely bold things right at the forefront of technical difficulty

Names?

Tommy Caldwell, Dean Potter, Lindblade/Whimp, Tomo Cesen, Chris Sharma, Chris Webb, Monique Forestier, Sam Berry, Alesandre Chabot, Neil Bentley, Yuji Hirayama, Huber brothers, Hans Florine, Steve Schnieder, Steve McClure plus many more.

I think climbing's future is safe in their and our hands.

I think that the womanizing is still strong in climbing - as Seinfeld put it "Why did we climb Everest, expore the far ends of the Earth, fly to the moon?"
