Falcon guides are shitty in general. Also they publish Smoot. And they just recycled Vogel's Chockstone guide so JTree hasnt had a new book since 82.

baaaaah to you.

except you have to go to "church service" Saturday AND Sunday

and cause the choices are simple. succeed or fail. go up or fall down. if you are soloing you only have the 1 choice anyways: live or die. even simpler. i always found soloing to be a very life affirming activity.

me too and the boss just left and i am alone in the office

and for the of course!

anybody else notice col sanders is the spitting image of Leon Trotsky???? Commie Fried Chicken!

when i was a little kid my dad would take us hiking and also scramble-bouldering on the beach i would read the hiking guidebooks and look at maps and see all the cool places to go then my brother and i started peak bagging and bushwacking when he turned 16 and got a car we scrambled more and more difficult things. spent many hours reading the bruce fairley guide and checking out way more cool things to climb when i went to university i learned how to belay & place pro and got hooked on technical climbing & it all went downhill from there i definitely like almost all types of climbing and exploring outdoors. the only parts I don't really like are 1) gym climbing is a workout but there is no exploration so it is hard to motivate 2) i don't like super early alpine starts but I do like sunrises and not getting hit by rockfall so they are a necessary evil 3) i dont like bushwacking in the rain 4) i don't like winter suffering but you have to suffer to climb in the winter 5) i dont like falling so tend not to try to push myself too much: it took me 4 years from when i started climbing to redpoint my first 10b and another 7 years after that to get the redpoint level up to 10d 6) i dont like face fulls of snow and broken legs so i dont like to ski much 7) i do not like slogging with a heavy pack on but sometimes thats what it takes to bag a peak 8) i do not like aid belaying! climbing is fun i tend to call everything from bagging a peak, to bouldering "climbing"

Why did you start climbing? What made you want to try it? I have heard the "average climber" (90% of those who try it once) only climb for a few years before moving on to another sport. If you have been climbing for 3 yrs +, why did you stay with climbing? Did you start with another outdoor sport and switch to climbing, or did you start with climbing and stay with it?

im gettin paid to spray just like you

porker porker!!!!
