Obviously this is a highly subjective topic, and some people have just got "it" whatever it is.
but generally speaking:
Sport Climbing: Not cool
Bouldering: Seriously Uncool
Bumbly Trad: Not cool
Hurting animals (Eagles etc.): Cool
Proper trad: Definately cool (proper trad means pushing yourself, ground up, hard moves well above your gear etc)
Getting preachy about ethics: so uncool, it's just a bit of rock FFS
Alpine climbing: Cool
Gnarly Crack climbing: So cool
Climbing While off your tits: It's not clever, but it is cool
Making a blog deciding who's cool and who isnt in the climbing world: Not cool
I don't think alpine climbing is cool.
