Yeah pretty much. :) But my main point is that if someone is putting up their hand and saying, "look at this first free ascent I just did!" they better have done it right or just don't bother telling anyone. Does anyone outside of thecrag.com really care what someone top roped?

The history of climbing is a progression. So harder and harder routes get done.El Cap was free climbed then onsighted, etc. People climbing harder trad routes INSPIRES me. I don't think of it as wank and ego. I guess if a person feels they are in the game at whatever grade they climb then people climbing hard inspires them. If a person is out of shape, refuses to train or try hard at climbing it may seem like wank and ego.
