UKclimbing may look nice but some of the residents make most of the more fringe posters on here look sane, compassionate and balanced by comparison.
A mate of mine from Uni posted on there in the mid-2000’s asking if anyone in Sheffield could lend him a Hilti for the weekend to put a bolt on the lip of Parthian Shot as he wanted to climb it but it looked a bit dicey. He got actual death threats, had his posting history stalked so people could work out who he was in real life so they could come and have a “chat” and had to ask for his account to be deleted in the end.
It’s true, UKC was a lot easier to troll magnificently. There used to be some spectacularly cantankerous arseholes on there.
I like this forum in comparison – the layout is clean and simple, the modding mostly hits the right note, as far as I can tell, and very few of us take it too seriously…
