Huge Drama in the Rock Climbing Community

My parents have been in the climbing community since their teens and I basically joined it by being born and I can tell you that 99% of people in the community are extremely nice and chill and will gladly help you with anything

[@augustlavdal6187]

Maybe because it is a huge ego check if you are not strong enough, and it's not a team sport, you are alone in your climbing. I know people who play football for example, and they have so big egos and think they are everything. And that is fine, but when your skill does not match your ego, and you do the same thing over and over but it does not work. Then that ego is very misplaced and irritating to play with. At that point they are running the football for everybody else on their team and making some few good goals but also making lots and lots of mistakes. They are ok peolpe, but at the same time I was in a conversation. They are very interested in money, and a bit negative towards a lot of things and have very strong opinions. Mabye it's just that group I have been playing with. I have played fotball with freinds before, and that is always fun.

I don't know in what community you are in, but I live in Czechia where climbing is a pretty old sport with many old humble climbers who show the next generations how to act.

In 2009 Adam Ondra came to South Africa and climbed an open project in Montagu called “Mazawattee”. It became the hardest route in South Africa (it still is). Matt Bush was one of a handful of South African climbers who were throwing themselves at the project hoping to claim the first ascent. It is possible that the “beef” Matt has against Adam stems all the way back to that time. *I have met Matt and have had some interesting conversations him.

[@mooncalf_4534]

Tbh, even tho he argues the opposite, matt is a great representation of what is ACTUALLY wrong with climbing nowadays. Gimmicky, flair over dificulty, dynos just for the sake of looking cool, appealing to the masses. I know climbing is more than grades, but it's through the pursuit of harder and harder stuff that we reach the actual philosophical and personal clarity that climbing brings

Unfortunately Matt is one of those guys who is just really sour about everything. He used to get free entry at a local gym, but after breaking multiple bits of wall by doing dumb stuff they told him he needs to pay like a regular member. So naturally, he went onto social media rants about what a death-trap of a gym the place is and he'll single-handedly shut them down because everyone follows him and listens to him. Subsequently the gym became even more busy than normal.

[@mattlodder]

I haven't climbed in over a decade. I recently came back to the sport and dipped into recent IFSC comp videos on KZbin. I was absolutely overjoyed to see that Ondra was still climbing at the top level after all this time, as he was a regular feature of comp finals last time I bothered looking, all those years ago.

I'm both a karate-ka and a climber. Similar thing happens in the martial arts world, slightly more commonly, because martial artists are way less chill than climbers, and there's a lot more ego thrown around. When someone feel that they are not acknowledged enough by the established institutions, they go and split up and establish their own institution. Some one them are actually legit, just that the politics lead them to their disillusionment with the establishment. Some of them are less skilled but they still like the ego boost, so they make their own school without having the skills. That's how you get what's called McDojos....and then on a rarer instances, you get the really crazy ones, like George Dillman

In all seriousness those comments read exactly like the type of rambling you get from schizophrenic people before or during a psychotic episode. Together with the random antagonization of others, the delusions of grandeur, and all of the spirituality woo. Dude is legit 100% schizotypal and stuff's hitting the fan.

I think it's more typical of over-use of hallucinogenic drugs than actual schizophrenia. I've seen it many times since I used to be into that kind of thing. People can end up too deep...

Hilarious video. Keep up the great climbing content.

You changed the angle of the desk when you “looked left camera, right camera” that’s the kinda nonsense I’ve can get behind

I've never heard of this matt dude that needs a lot of therapy, I can say now I may be a better member of the climbing community. It is definitely funny story and you gave us a good condensed commentary on the topic.

All I got from this video is that we should set up slab climber conservation zones. You know, like places where they can’t be hunted for their pelts. Might help with population numbers

“Go to a bouldering gym” mate you got me good with that one

I love this channel. Besides everyone‘s hero MC of course, there‘s actually someone else posting fun out of the box climbing content. Goes by the name Brandon or something
