- To be competetive with your companions is understandable, but
- I don't think it is preferable (at least for me). Then someone
- has to "lose". If I want that, I'll play tennis or something. No
- doubt some of you think this is because I must "lose" at climbing
- alot to feel this way. This is not true. I just feel that the most
- important thing for me in climbing is to have fun. Without that
- I would stop doing it.
