I feel like it's worse because I recognise them as being Yorkshire locals who I would have thought should know better!

Name and shame!

Yep been made private. Hopefully lesson learned!

Let that be a lesson to all of us, bullying does work

Lol. I knew this vid would end up here in short order.

You know, I didn't think that was particularly bad, it might just be the loose clothing making it look worse.

If it's a dabby problem for someone who's 5'1, even with a thin blubber pad, then I know I'd struggle!

[Fultonius]

I'm baffled by the bouldering in massive knee brace look.

Takes me right back to my PCL surgery.

I don't remember there ever being a time that I felt like the knee brace really did enough that I could boulder in it! (I.e. by the time I had enough ROM / strength to even consider bouldering I'd had the brace off a good few months.

It could be a Moncler accessory?

[Fiend]

Very good

It's the Roborockover, mk1 is going cheap on Sports Pursuit right now.

What's the excessive padstack equivalent of a dab?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me like she's using the normal starting holds with straight arms from where she's sat? If so, it would seem rather harsh to think she should be starting any lower!

Straight arms or arms out straight?

[reeve]

Feeling like the new Scragrock here... but if someone's 5'1 (says so in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoUmKjYDkFV/) then I'm not going to resent them stacking a couple of extra pads.

^ this!

Just because you can reach most stand start handholds from sitting Bradders 😜

[shark]

As Bonjoyous has pointed out a couple of times, sit starts should be defined (and described) by the starting holds rather than number of mats you are allowed to sit on.

Edit: applies to stand starts too

There should be a grade threshold for publically calling out dabs and other such unethical practices. E.g. >6C and a climber should know better; <6C and they are off-the-hook*.

*The cut-off is of course modifiable based on the climbers level of self-promotion. I propose losing 1 grade from your threshold for every green tick or hashtag on your social media post, hence Bradders is well justified here. Science.

[T_B]

Feels like this thread should go the way of DFB.

Or rename it “Frustrated Dads who like to criticise”. You could then just slag off anyone who didn’t fit your ‘rules’, be it beginners dabbing or women who are too short to reach the starting holds.

I think everyone's just having a laugh, T_B.

Seems to be a few videos from girls on grit getting called out at the moment, and I'm not sure calling out a group that are probably marginalised in terms of outdoor climbing is the way to go, even if people are just having a laugh.

That would be a problem, but I just went back a few pages and only 3 out of the last 12 posts were about women.

Cue the tautological 'the fact that you're denying there's a problem is itself part of the problem' type arguments.  Easier to just get on hymn sheet - you're a bad man.

I've climbed, briefly, with Pam (mountainremedy) and I expect that some folks will be getting their heads kicked in soon. She's got mates in the Pinnacle Club. They're going to sort you out
