Hi, interesting article. As I agree with you in the broad topic of the gamification of climbing, and remedy suggested in points 3/8/15. I do find debatable suggestions like skipping bolts, solo route or blindfolded lead climbing. I do find knowing what you are linking up on multy pitch route is important not for grade, but for safety. It feal confusing between a call for more genuine climbing and pointing finger towards youtubers. Maybe advertising the de-gamification is the gamification of climbing, you are not taking points for the send, but for the read. Nice article that opens a bottomless pit. Thanks 👍
Interesting! I enjoyed the satire blended with sense-making. I'll be exploring the references.
I work as a climbing guide. In my quest to degamify climbing when clients ask me how hard the routes are we are climbing, I refer to routes as hot sauces- " mild", "medium" and "picante"- and not by their number grade.
Debatable article
Hi Daniele, many thanks for your comment. What did you find debateable?
