I was looking at the doings on Mountain Project since most of the focus here has something to do with LEB or ideological disagreements and I stumbled upon this little gem

It gave me a bit of a chuckle...

If you’re climbing in dry conditions (summertime climbing only, etc.), save some money and buy a dry rope. They don’t handle ice and rain very well, but they’re dramatically cheaper than non-dry ropes.

That bit may need work.

If you’re climbing right, you should be too focused on climbing to care how soft leg loops are.

In the lawyer-run, self-protective spineless orgy of fear that is American society, we’ve forgotten that life is pointless without danger. Nobody gets rich without risk, nobody gets famous by playing it safe, and nobody experiences the full scope of life without danger.

And lots more funny stuff, including a referral to rockclimbing.com, which at least isn't infested (yet) by LEB. Hmmm, maybe she should visit them...

Personally I enjoyed the picture of the kid in the old bridgeman's harness...looked like something I used to steal out of my dad's tool bucket when I was a kid. Granted, I was 6 and I knew it wasnt suited for rock climbing, but all the same...
