If you’re easily offended/offended on behalf of others or perhaps enjoy soy lattes whilst chilling with other beta’s you may want to swerve this as there’s a likelihood you’ll end up requiring time in your chosen safe space with a vibrator stuck up your ring piece. 10/10 - one of the easier wanks I’ve had.
Dan has produced a fanzine. If anyone wants a copy get in touch with him via Instagram https://instagram.com/mod3rn_climb3r?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg==
Reads like if Thomas Mair was a climber and wrote a manifesto, think I’ll save my money thanks.

Out of interest Simon, why are you promoting this?
Quote from: Bradders on October 14, 2023, 08:44:41 pmOut of interest Simon, why are you promoting this?Strange comment. Care to expand on why you think he shouldn’t?There’s a barren desert of left-field culture in climbing meedja since the advent of social media/UKC/climbing-goes-mainstream. Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder.. but even if you happened to think Dan’s ‘cultural output’ was a steaming pile of cultural excrement, what argument would you have against a diverse landscape of weird and wonderful viewpoints.
I found some of it interesting and other bits humorous. Is that okay with you Bradders?
I mean… it would be a very odd comment to make if you thought he should promote Dan’s book.So, it’s a rational assumption to make - that you question whether he should. Isn’t it?
Some brilliant spoonerisms in there, to the extent that I can't quite figure out whether they're on purpose - things like the BMC being in it to "crush descent" these days is almost too good.I had a read through some pages of this this morning and once you get past the climate-change denial, anti-vax rhetoric, and bigoted little asides about pronouns and gender there's a distaste for modern climbing that I really quite like, an anger about the number-obsessed, training-for-the-sake-of-training and commercialisation bits of today's climbing culture that I can get behind - even if I don't blame cultural marxism and pegging for the shift.I do wonder about the hyper-focus on anal-widening devices and bumholes. Reminds me of my middle-school days.
