@Old-lady-H Bitd it was infrequent you'd run in to a fellow climber anywhere other than at the crags so it was natural that you'd talk nothing but climbing if/when you were luck enough to cross paths with such (at least for me). Fast forward to modern times, climbing went mainstream (as contrasted with "Counter Culture") and "climbers" are everywhere. As some sage wisely responded to early concerns that we did not have enough climbing content on RPU; "There is nothing more boring than climbers talking about nothing other than climbing....". So please do feel free to discuss whatever, excepting identity political tribalism (see "Claim, Warrant, Impact" guidelines in "Big Questions" category), as at RPU we prefer to focus on our shared passion for climbing and other outdoor adventures that unite us rather than petty differences that divide us.
