Tarbuster, kick ass writing on that quote there. I particularly like the question "why is trad climbing good for us?" Very cool.

Thank you for this Kevin,
Seems to me trad means free climbing with protection placed on lead, and no aid employed to place pro or rest.
Free climbing. On rock.
After all the title of this thread is: "What Is Trad?"

Yes yes, perhaps we've morphed it into "What Was Trad?"
But I ain't given' up the ghost just yet!

Zip line with a 12 gauge shooting targets in the desert while zipping. Sorta "sporty trad".

Okay Chillun's … I gotta take umbrage here with some of our findings.
Namely this idea that … "TRAD IS DEAD" … Not as long as I'm alive it ain't dead. Hear me ROAR!!!
Werner was wondering the same:
(don't believe for a second he doesn't care about this stuff … He lives for it)
So .... I was out for a short skinny ski yesterday where I do my best thinkin' :
I'm going to lay out some schoolin’ for some of you young pup Trad Aspirants.
TARBOUSSIER SCHOOLIN' SESH: HOW TO BE TRAD !!!
SIMPLE.
Essentially you Gotta Live, Breathe, Eat, & Shitt TRAD.
any of you hot trad chix wanna check out the scar from my recent hip replacement go right ahead!
ANY QUESTIONS ????????
I didn't think so.
That is all.

Awesome trad work with signage.
Trad is not dead. Might change but not dead UNLESS your definition of TRAD is the 1970's. If thats the case then its dieing/dead.
