dude trad guys are always taking thier shirts off and lots of chicks are always showing alot of skin when they climb no matter what style. I dont go shirtless in the guym except for some days in summer. I just think that hard sport pushes your climbing skills more then trad and I think thats what climbing is all about. If you want to go someplace cool you can hike there so I like hard sport and ya I do like to climb better. So I think I push harder,witch is why I rather climb a hard sport 5.13 then any 5.8 or 5.9 trad.

Hey this Donny is a real kick! Since it's so easy why doesn't he go up and fire the Nose all free, after all there are no hard trad climbs. Since Donny writes like he is quite young I wonder if he has ever heard of Lynn Hill or Ron Kauk. They place pro red pointing hard 13's and clip bolts red pointing 14's. Lynn even ran it out a long ways on the Great Roof on her one day free ascent of the Nose so maybe she has more sack than any guy. The best part is that they are probably old enough to be his parents. Good luck Donny but with your attitude I doubt you will ever catch them!

The most stupid, moronic, etc. aspect of this topic is defining any activity people enjoy as "stupid." An activity may seem stupid if a person doesn't like it, but it's simply is what it is. If a person likes simplicity, relative safety and pure gymnastic activity in his/her climbing, sport climbing is a great way to achieve it. I don't relish sport climbing, but I can understand its appeal.
Maybe some people take offense at something they like being called "stupid" because they think the definition is referencing them personally. (?)
I can absolutely see why any non-climber could call all forms of climbing "stupid". Hell, Batso was probably right...
Peace everybody.

sorry wrinkle, not the same, looks like more than one hard chick out there. you only wished I was manly looking so you wouldn't miss your little brother so much, eh? Its okay, I understand you are deprived. I was wondering if your hands have EVER been inside of a splitter? probably not, because you would need GEAR and the last time I checked, draws don't work too well as passive pro. oh, sorry, protection, I forgot, you are challenged.

Donny,
Your invective aside, I'm with ya. Though I much prefer trad, I love the fact that there are several facets of climbing. Pick the one that suits you, who cares what anybody thinks/says.

Frozen and canned vegetables can be as nutrious as fresh vegetables, according to a recent study. Nutrients are "locked in" when vegetables are canned or frozen, while fresh vegetables lose nutrients steadily.
Here's some news to make your life easier: You can get the nutritional benefits of vegetables by choosing convenient canned and frozen varieties. Researchers at the University of Illinois, Champaign Urbana, compared the effects of processing, storage and cooking on the nutrient content of vegetables in a study conducted for Green Giant. The most in-depth research to date on the subject, this study encompassed vegetables from field to plate.
Fresh vegetables suffer during storage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What we learned in the study was that when vegetables are canned or frozen, the nutrients are 'locked in,'" says Barbara Klein, the principal investigator on the research team. Processing, or the initial heating step, results in a small loss of nutrients. Once that's finished, there's no further change in nutrient content over the shelf life of frozen and canned vegetables. In contrast, fresh vegetables from the supermarket steadily lose nutrients from the time of harvest until they are purchased and brought home, usually about two weeks later. Nutrients continue to diminish during home storage, which can be a week or more and, in the case of some vegetables like carrots, much longer.
We don't eat enough vegetables
----------------------------------------------------
In another study, also conducted for Green Giant, the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, N.J., found that 65 percent of those surveyed say they eat only one or two servings of vegetables daily, in contrast to the three to five daily servings recommended in the Food Guide Pyramid. Some 37 percent of those surveyed said they don't eat more vegetables because they don't have time, or that vegetables require to much effort to prepare.

donny:
I think sport climbing is easier than trad climbing, and that's why I like trad climbing. Don't blame the "style" of climbing when you can't push yourself on a trad route. The problem with your "logic" is simple:
You thought trad was easy because you were on easy routes. You think sport is hard because you climb hard routes when you sport climb.
Why don't you go try a hard trad route?

Donny, I figured it out. You're trolling for a good old fashioned ham pounding. Let's meet at some grid-bolted, paved-belay, 25 ft high 'extreme' sport crag, slather each other up with mayonaise and keopectate and see if I can fully extend a #4 camalot in your cornhole. C'mon sizzle chest, I know your type.
