'For me to see falls, I don't have to be part of that group. Just cause I saw somebody fall doesn't mean I'm belaying them or climbing.'
Your the one who suggested that everyone falls big distances, that sort of assumes that you have and all your climbing partners have. If you haven't and neither have your partners, then perhaps you're not incompetent. Any group where all or most of them have individually fallen such distances is incompetent. Which again, supports my statement that only a moron counts on breakfall training against a 100 foot fall, and only a liar suggests they've seen many 125 foot falls and also suggests they are common among real climbers.
And Colorado has a much higher frequency of good climbers, as I've already pointed out. You can posture all you like, Colorado is climbers heaven in the US, NOT Cali. All your post shows is that you're from Cali and have the bias, but all GOOD cali climbers recognize the superiority of Colorado rock.
As for your belt, I've already told you it's of no value to me. It's a meaningless trinket. All it shows is that a decent ranking system can be made worthless by the people who hold rank in it.
'Your a punk hiding from those you slander.'
So, are you the pot or the kettle? After all, it wasn't me slandering all those who left the system, it was you. You can call me a punk all you like. You just can't do it to my face.
Now go work on your knots, it sounds like you haven't learned how to climb safely yet.
