woah there....wasn't saying it the way your reading it and i never mentioned anything about tolerance. if you read something online and you assume its negative...reread and rethink because you probably just misinterpreted the meaning.

I have climbed with many beginners, and been there my self as everyone has, and most of the time they are worried that they don't know enough and that they are preventing others from climbing due to their lack of experience and just generally feeling bad if their slowing everything down.

i'm just happy to get out there and climb anything, including the low graded stuff and at any pace. I only put the grades up for climbers that climb much harder than that who might not be looking to climb with someone that will struggle on the routes they want to climb.
