"There's two kinds of climbing, first ascents and everything else."

That quote is in this article about one of the pioneer rock climbers in the US. As well as:

image"Carter refuses to accept many modern climbing practices.  He climbs with a simple rope around his waist instead of a harness. He won't use chalk to improve his grip."

 

 

 

 

Seems to me it would be a lot easier for us to do first ascents if that guy hadn't hogged so many himself.
