Mar 31, 2012 - Golf is only well paid because the majority of its adherents are well paid, & as such willing to spend. This has little to do with the actual difficulty of golf.The points you make suffer from a disconnect between cause and effect (well paid) or between premise and conclusion (you find it hard, therefore it must be the hardest). BTW I never said golf, or climbing, was either easy or hard, just that the problem solving (only one aspect of a sport) required for them was different.

Mar 31, 2012 - It is easier to learn how to climb than it is to learn how to golf. I have seen many people get into climbing at old ages. Golf takes years and hours a day to perfect one swing. Golf is harder in a technical way... climbing is harder in a psychological way (at times)

Digdigs2 Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - Pfft - you obviously don't climb. Golf is like archery - very easy to get very good, and freaking hard to get any better.

BeepimajeepBeep Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - i do climb... but in my opinion golf is harder than climbing, maybe not physically, but technically golf is harder.

Digdigs2 Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - Agreed, climbing up to 5.12 is not that technical, we share a common ancestry with apes after all. But beyond that, and beyond V7, it begins to get technical in a way that golf never will. There is so much more to consider than in golf, where you are essentially refining the same basic movement. Golf is, as I said, like archery or shooting - a very closed set of movements made precise - whereas climbing has that too but the set of movements is far greater, as are the other external parameters.

BeepimajeepBeep Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - climbing can get extremely hard.... it is harder than golf physically, and there are probably alot more moves in climbing. to be able to hit a ball into a hole on your second try from 100's feet away is actually extremely tough, anyone can attempt to do it unlike climbing, but no one will do it.

Digdigs2 Says:

Apr 3, 2012 - I state again - the difficulty of the 2 sports was not the point, but the difference in mental approach required.

Apr 3, 2012 - Not sure where this conversation went? I am done though.

Apr 13, 2012 - What strength is in golf? Or even cardio? I wouldnt even call golf a sport. Itsa fukin game for rich fuckers to knock arpund there white balls. Climbing = hardcore sport aswell as MMA

mintyvision Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - wtf are you talking about. clearly you dont climb.

TheEmarbe Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - hahaha golf? really? "the only difference between golf and climbing is climbing requires two balls...."

BeepimajeepBeep Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - sometimes golf requires multiple balls if you hit your ball into a pond or something, i am not sure why you would take a ball climbing?? is that a new piece of gear?

TheEmarbe Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - you must be slightly stunned, what im saying is it requires BALLS, cojones, nerve....where as golf even a useless twit could play and have fun.....you wont find a coward on a rock wall but you will find many on a green.

BeepimajeepBeep Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - I don't see how that has to do with bringing a ball rock climbing?

TheEmarbe Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - wow kid, just wow....read a book or do something before your brain totally stops working.....

BeepimajeepBeep Says:

Apr 16, 2012 - I am guessing you cannot detect sarcasm? but seriously why bring a ball rock climbing?

Wazoodles Says:

Apr 18, 2012 - climbing is nothing like mma.

Wazoodles Says:

Apr 18, 2012 - this is a very goofy video...if anyone is getting into climbing or thinks this is educational...dont listen

Mikkellima Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - how good is this guy?

jorjjamful Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - wazoodle I wasnt comparing, I was relating. MMA is an intense sport aswell as rockclimbing  Golf is nothing like either (whatever idiot brought that argument into discussion)

jorjjamful Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - Dont listen to fuckin wazoodle

Wazoodles Says:

Apr 24, 2012 - ya fair enough. I think whoever brought that about was rather just talking about "the zone" you can get in when doing sports/menial labour/certain activities.
