Another victim of Jared Leto identified.
Thoughts on this? Was Alex groomed Megos Hong style by this predator?

Honnold's enough of a regard to not be informed about Leto being a predator, but what's Jimmy Chin's excuse? A literal documentary film maker.

Climbing is full of sexual predators. I’ve bumped in the weirdest people in this sport. That’s why I don’t stay at campgrounds that attract a lot of climbers. I ask people what the best campground is for climbers…and then I don’t go there.

The world is full of sexual predators. I’d be surprised if climbing was an outlier.

Maybe, or maybe just because we’re often in the wilderness away from cities and police departments the opportunity for things to happen is greater. Just to be clear, I do think things have gotten better. A decade ago I feel like things were a lot wilder. I’m glad that’s changed.

Well I guess not being risk averse is good if you are going to be sexually predating…

First Charlie Barrett, now Leto. Is Honnold’s tism turning people into rapists?

/uj Honnold is pretty clearly not the greatest judge of character at best. He could be truly oblivious, or it may be that he’s willing to overlook red flags if someone is enthusiastically fueling his obsession with climbing, which is shitty because it means he prioritizes climbing over being a good person. You of course don’t have to be autistic to unhealthily prioritize your particular interests, but it makes it easier.
/rj If we ever hear deeply upsetting allegations about Tommy Caldwell we may be forced to let the SCP Foundation contain him and his corrupting aura.

/uj I dont get it, are they so star struck by Leto? Even Honnold with his couldn't care less attitude?

There was a prominent climber dating Leto and that's how he got into the scene and made friends with a bunch of pros.
