In reply to UKC Articles:
Excellent article, well-written and modest, and many will identify with the places, events and observations in your 2 climbing decades.
Your points about the impact of media and the internet on climbing are well-made, and I like it that you don't pass sentimental judgement on those changes - as you say, climbing is at heart a very personal experience, but now its set in a context of more public sharing of information and achievements, not a bad thing, just an extra thing.
When it stops being fun, its time to stop. Enjoy the next 20 years!
