Grades...shmades...
Ok i'm gunna put it on the line that i dont give a crap about grades. I think that for climbings sake maybe we should change the focus a bit. Mikl Talks about grades for sport and grades for trad. Why dont we have a grade for fun? I think it's amazing that Dai is cranking like the strongest bastard in the world at the moment and thats why i started this thread but lets think about what Sharma and Loskot are doing. They're not giving climbs names or grades. Why? well i dont know them personally but could i assume that for them climbing is not about climbing a grade to increase they're status or self importance it's about having fun, hanging with friends, getting out in the bush whatever. I know i'm a hack climber who's opinion doesnt count for shite but lets get some perspective. I used to ferverently tick all the climbs i'd done and who'd i'd done them with and monitor closely whether i was moving up the grades or not. Till i relised that climbing a rock doesnt change the rock (hopefully) or the world around us. Making the first ascent doesnt give me rights to that line of rock, it's still a piece of rock that belongs to everyone. pulling myself up rock with less holds than another rock with more holds, who gives a wally whoop whoop!!!!!
Are you a rockclimber or a "person" who climbs rocks? |
