Post-Gazette Publishes Filler, Insults Pittsburgh's Climbing Community

Of course, I should note that the article is an AP piece. But if I'm not mistaken, wire service subscribers have the privilege of modifying or adding to articles on the wire. Would it have killed them to have someone talk to one of the many climbers or climbing organizations / facilities in this whole city?
I want to be clear that this only annoys me because the P-G consistently has grown on me as I've come to realize just how independent and local it is, by comparison to most local outlets (not naming any names, but you know who you are, Dick). This is an unusual exception, and unfortunately it hits a little close to home.
Apparently these brilliant and innovative kids in new york have come up with this whole new way of climbing according to the Pittsburgh paper. It’s a shame no one in Pittsburgh does it or they could have actually mentioned Pittsburgh people, the climbing gym[s], coopers, etc etc… [Embedded links added. -- MOP]
