He isn't an idiot... he is different, has strong opinions, is skilled and
has a good amount of luck.
Climbing is dangerous even with all the safety gear we have these days.
I didn't get the impression he was forcing his opinion upon anyone but just
adding his perspective.
Is it possible to have a different opinion on this reflector without a shit
storm being created?
I do think he has a point about being fit to climb. How many of us old farts
still climb when if not for the safety belt holding us on, we'd be tumbling
off?

I love crank-up towers and articulated boom lifes ;-)
