that’s pretty annoying and sounds like a shit experience but it does happen unfortunately. not everybody’s a self-righteous tool up their own ass

have definitely been on the receiving end of such a rant or lecture really

floating the thought of pedal assist to MTB people is enough to rustle some jimmies lmao

hmmmm

I first thought it may be some of the common reasons or qualities possessed by the people that seek or find climbing, but it might also be what is learned through climbing… you build strength, practice trust, patience, safety, care, curiosity, likely an adventurous spirit. Usually attracts people that are generally interested in the outdoors or earth, which apparently are often just kind, open-minded individuals. Many people trying to find themselves or just better themselves. May just be going for stoke.

^ chill folks that will likely be into a variety of things you might also be. will be helpful and nurture the stoke
