One to go...

Gym climbing at a chipped choss pile. Erik Massih estimated this variant to have "maybe three natural grips". Is a variable ethic somehow justifiable depending on the quality of the rock?

He sells ropes...

We've all heard of the mechanic who drives the beat up car and we hold a certain skepticism for the climber with shinny gear. So, where is the middle ground? Erik Massih on the variable traits of gravity: "Why would I waste a 70 or 80 meter rope at a crag like this?"
