Top Ten Current Crimes Against Climbing

Having your spotter carry your chalkbag for you
Climbing a problem that uses handholds on another problem as your footholds
Travelling 31 minutes to go exercising
Posting any climbing videos with gangsta rap in
Not jumping on the latest greatest snake oil miracle cure fingerboard protocol ASAP
Having a personal slave carry your portable fan as you climb
Wearing a kneepad with a book / ipad / old VHS cassette / breezeblock shoved inside
Failing to do a trade route 9b+ when you're a 9c climber
Liking proper scrittle instead of board-style "limestone on grit"
Trying to give anything at all a realistic grade

Have a look at these things from Jack Hustler, completely buried in Instagram.

It would help if that account if wasn't set to private.

Don't get me started. Seriously. Nobody fucking cares.

I'm glad I have a safe space of friends who understand who I can vent to without upsetting the Insta people and getting called a cyber bully.

Grading blowhards. In other words people who always shout about how they MUST be right about the grade of a problem failing to grasp that different problems feel different to different people!!

I like the histogram of voted grades you get on peakbouldering/UKC - for me that’s the fairest way to allow a grade to settle.

An example of a good use of IG for climbing, sharing memories and climbs that haven't been publicised much. Colorado's answer to the Toit du cul de chien: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkRZ-sDMDA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Cannot wait for the Red Feather guide to come out (and fingers to be working again)...

https://www.instagram.com/p/CMav6PYj-uV/ that looks amazing, just wondering why the #cameronpeakfire needs a hashtag.

Yes. The use of the term fun grinds my gears.

I don’t want fun. Fun is a log-flume. I want an experience I find hard to explain so keep chasing it.

Fun problem
Fun route
Fun trip to the Sainsburys

I'm sure you'll agree when you climb with me, it's an experience.

It’s certainly an experience I find hard to describe
