An invisible force wall has handholds? (Someone had to say it!)
I found the article interesting, something to think about. But I do agree that his inclusion of absolutes is something that needs squashing Right Now! I know next to nothing about rock climbing, but I've read the occasional brief article here and there about some 'handicapped' person or other taking it up with good results. Someone who wouldn't even be allowed to try if what Mr. Mearls wrote went through. (Hopefully something like that would be spotted and removed, but the best way to prevent something like that from getting through is not to write it in the first place.)
