Direct link to video here. This is a recent example of the ridiculousness of some internet climbing forums. It’s interesting that seemingly similar websites can have such varied communities/ environments. For example, I’ve noticed more new climbers on rockclimbing.com, nicer (or at least more tolerant/ supportive) climbers on Mountain Project, and more old school climbers on SuperTopo.

Haha once again too much!! God damn I love this video and the shame that it puts to all the people out there who think that they are some type of climbing god know it all! It is really a shame. Thanks for bringing the subject up and keeping an open mind!
Hope all is well in the front country!
Glad you like it Stephen. Talk to you soon.

Hey, how would you characterize the forums on this site?
I’d say: Goofy and corny Nebraskans.
That’s sounds about right.
