From the link;
>today’s sport climbers frighten easily and the rules have changed
&
>Concomitant with the fact that sport climbers scare easily is the psychological detail that they have very fragile egos.

Hmm.

I have never had a problem with people not loving my routes, but that is because of their consistently high quality. It was only after my new routes started appearing on the scene that guidebook editors realised that they needed extra stars to highlight their exceptional place in world climbing.

Simey, is that because one out of five is a more accurate assessment?

I think the 1 out of 5 stars was more useful for describing Dalai's routes... his better ones.

This has made my day Simey. You must be mellowing in your old age, as you used to say all my routes were cr@p! ;-)
