For some, and in part your age (and my age), that is the smarter route. I've chatted with one SPer that is a lot younger and he has jumped in with both feet and very quickly doing some very challenging peaks. But he did take a class or two and he's in his 20"s. That makes a difference.
As for the "crap" that fellow SPers may gives us "NooBs", I've received my share of it and I think for the most part it was a "hazing" more than anything. Some of it I deserved, I spouted off, I've given others here, crap as well and all in good fun. I read all the posts here, I think the guy did deserve some of what he got, was a little arrogant. But over all everybody here has been great, many offers to teach me so that I can do more than just class 3, to do snow climbs with crampons etc, and even some rock climbing.
To those that weren't joking around and the crap was serious- screw all of you.
