The mainstreaming of climbing is such a drag.
Truly grand were the uncrowded days of yore—the 50’s and 60’s and earlier—when not every other little kid who came along, like these girls, took to it.
No mobile computers to post once little known locations for millions to “discover, ” give directions to or call for a rescue.
Climbing is whimpifyed to accommodate the masses.
It was once the realm of the few, the gritty, the bold.
