My absolute one time, all-star classic hate. People rubbishing venues where they have either a) not been to b)not been to as others rubbish it, and fear a lack of cred if they subvert this norm. Like really, that probably is the only thing that makes me boil a little inside. (See recent Angel Bay thread all you nay sayers! )

things the mildly irritate me:people who say "traverse" instead of "traverse"
Bonjoy, what's the hold on Subculture you're not supposed to use these days?
This route is only 8a if you dont use the undercuts out left! otherwise 7c+Tony - 23/Jun/03
Pigeon holing, and people who can't help but oppress their points of view onto others whilst holding a holier than thou stance.
Quote from: Rockfax user commentsThis route is only 8a if you dont use the undercuts out left! otherwise 7c+Tony - 23/Jun/03I briefly tried the sequence without this blatantly online hold, it felt contrived in the extreme. Some cheesewhip fails to see a hold and trys to drag everyone down to his myopic level
black juju!
Snowdon bound hillwalkers parking their cars in the Llanberis Pass all day. They drive up to Pen y Pass, find it's full (what a surprise) then drive back down the Pass and take the first parking space they see (usually the Cromlech lay by). Then they catch the bus back up to Pen y Pass again. Why they don't use the massive car park in Nant Peris and catch the same bus up the valley and leave the laybys for the climbers who actually want to be in the Pass?!!
So where is the supposedly 'out of bounds' undercut on Subculture? On the bottom crux section? Sorry for my vagueness, it's about 15 years since I did it. I remember some big locky moves, then a slight shuffle left, then back right, and then straight up - does that sound about right?(I'm voting 8a by the way)
1) People who hog the warm up routes and when you ask, politely if you can 'nip up' to get warmed up brush you off
