I was looking at IFSC rankings today and noticed something that I thought was quite cute & amusing, and also perhaps not entirely lacking in relevance to ongongi discussions of the BMC & its relationship to competition climbing.
Namely, I found this page listing the current combined rankings:
https://www.digitalrock.de/egroupware/ranking/sitemgr/digitalrock/eliste.ht...
On which, if you click through the country codes in the "Nation" column, for most countries you get to some serious-looking national competition climbing team page. Now pick a German and click ...
... and find yourself on the homepage of their village's local DAV section, with pictures of old buffers going on ski tours and drinking weissbier on hut balconies.
