A lot of younguns like myself seem to mostly be in it for competing these days and being "the best".

As an old school climber (1970s) I am sickened by what climbing has become. Long dead are the ethics of clean climbing and good style. I hope you consider republishing some of the articles that Chouinard used to put in his catalogs. We could use a fresh infusion of ethics. In the 70s many people worried that climbing culture would decompose into something like ski culture..it has. Competition, fashion and status.. I hope you use your platform as a pulpit to inspire a return to clean climbing and climbing for the shear zen-like joy of it. It doesn't matter what level you climb at - its about the internal game of exploring and pushing your own limits. Competition in climbing is as disgusting as having your gear made by some damn publically traded mega corporation.  Photo - me on the left with a couple of friends. Yea, that is a Chouinard ice axe circa 1975...woolrich knickers circa 1976, kelty mountain boots (an experiment from 1977) and I am circa 1957. Nice site. I just found it.
