...Luxury! back in the day we'd use a piece of fishing wire tied to our ankles, if that. and we'd be dynoing to knee bars and elbow jams on offwidth cracks! load of tosh, pebble for pro. why, when i was young we used to have to use dired cow dung for pro, we couldn't afford pebbles. ur weak!

has anyone seen the monty python sketch, where the five or so older men sit around and try to go one up on each other by saying how horrible life was. "ahh, but we were happy, even though we had to lick the road clean every morning before our father'd thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle..." Very funny!
