Oh dear, sorry davidn, I fear I may have offended you. I was young once and I'm sure I got up the nose of some 'older' climbers of the day. It's the way of things! Perhaps the difference now is that due to my considerable years I've been exposed to many styles of climbing and their concomitant attitudes. However, I still believe that no one style of climbing should seek the obliteration of an other to progress its cause.
