Parents sports are rarely cool. (From another post)
Yup agreed, particularly trad climbing. I mean, call it a sport if you will! But shuffling on ledges, sitting down ALOT belaying, shouting to seconds, and eating+taking photographs whilst playing with a bunch is nuts is madness. To be outgrown (along with climbing trees) by the age of 8 I hope.
It's more an affinity to buy lots of gear and tie a lot of knots that make you look a smug Pr*ck when you actually do in the real world. No one cares about your inline such and such.
And it gets even uncooler when its american. Being generally overweight (but not always) and pulling cams is not a sport.
