]]> Comment on Climbers Who Cheat by Sharon1271 http://eveningsends.com/2011/07/climbers-who-cheat/#comment-391 Sharon1271 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:51:00 +0000 http://eveningsends.com/?p=976#comment-391  Loosing weight to perform better, nothing new there. If you were thin when you were 11, and have competed until your 19, and now you are 20 pounds lighter  then when you were 11, and under 90 pounds, most that have seen you through the years would think the radical weight reduction is the major reason for your recent leap in climbing ability and world class ascents. Guess what, they are correct. But, so what? You were motivated enough to do what it took to get where you wanted to be, nobody can take that away from you, ever. Now, is this the best roll model for young climbers, radical weight loss for success? Probably not as it is a slippery slope, if taken to far can ill health effects. Also, if and when, because it will,the weight comes back on, your done with hard assents. Nobody questions Puccio because she has great genetics, just climbs, and has naturally a ton of muscle. She did not all of a sudden, get bigger and stronger. She has always had size in her shoulders and strength.  Loosing weight to perform better, nothing new there.

If he were my kid and did that... I'd make him pack up for the day, apologize to everyone at the crag and then I'd ground him from climbing for a week or two (I'm serious).  He's 18, not 2 yrs old. It is nice he's willing to talk openly about grades, but like Jamie he's probably taking it a little overboard. Chad I think Ondra’s temper tantrums are indefensible.
