Or were you replying to M1v0? I which case I'll shut up.

Out of interest what is it you object to/feel you don't have in common with "climbers"? I would still happily call myself a climber even though I think lots of stuff in modern climbing is bullshit, as I'm sure do loads of people, so i guess you must feel quite disenfranchised which is a shame.

I'm not really sure. Maybe it's meeting a few too many people that irritated me at crags over the years. Or maybe it's just a simple feeling of being more than just about climbing. I'm also a husband, a dad, a runner, a teacher, a member of the community I live in. I think I probably feel that all of those things define me.
But I've honestly never really thought about it so that might be bs.
