Thanks for posting those linked videos up ajf.
It is interesting to see the overlap & subtle differences in response to identical questions, by the different interview-ees.

Delineating between risk and consequence is a profound concept!

It makes much more sense when you play all the videos at once

I agree.
They are only short, so this is easily done.

He does have a pretty strong California dialect. I wonder how a Victorian climber would phrase the same sentence.... Oh wait. There aren't any Victorian climbers.

Oh shit! That was Hazel! I thought that was a misquote from Alex. Anyways, back to the topic. No Victorians climb.

It does suck not having anyone to climb with.

Read the article.I agree with Ross. I would also add that there is a huge deficit in mentoring. The people running the organizations and uniclubs are failing miserably. The older climbers who are not a part of the clubs are, like you, more into snarky comments than inspiring people to go trad climbing.
