i think pope impresses dawg in the bedroom...word on the street...

almost makes skiing look funner than climbing...almost...I'm now praying to the SUNGAWD...

ha! juvenile but funny...

...as bug put it, you're not "normal"...and that's not a backhanded compliment...

hmmm...more like NSS (no sack syndrome)...

no...there's nothing wrong with that...but there is something wrong with don...

I'll say its a big deal if you worked 5.13 for 5 months and did it no falls...oh wait, we've been down that route before and you buckled then... mid 5.14 crack is not that "common", pal...

Yeee! Bethy! And after only 5 months of rehearsal! So....do you get extra points if you're a gurl? confirmation of the fact that you are a total fuckin' bitter old fool...

14c crack ffa: Beth Rodden

what did you say? I can't hear you...

oh my gosh that is so funny! Women aren't that bad, are we? UMMM...once yer hooked up YES...

all replies were directly related to the idea of climbing with a SO you made it personal here Go mark those labs, the kids need to study them for the upcoming tests RIGHT ON...

and halifax...most of us are speaking from our viewpoints/experience... no one's calling you a pussy-whipped wank for climbing with your so, so don't get all defensive... oh...and it does totally matter when kids are involved...you can say what you want but 90% of women change when they have kids...my wife is not the same climbing partner she was pre-kids...and i've heard this over and over again...

no kids in that family...

i think climbing can act as an amplifier for the state of a relationship, good or bad. there's also: "Why are you going climbing w/ your buds but not climbing w/ me?" "Is it because I'm not good enough?" "Is it because you don't love me?" and "Why do you get to go climbing when I have to stay home to take care of [house/kids/dog/whatever]" and "When I'm sick you should stay home with me and take care of me instead of going climbing" ... damn gary...did you just get married?

I've had my wife threaten to take me off belay for yelling at her to give me slack...WTF?!!)$*( absolutely no point in climbing w/ SO's...she's a wonderful wife and person in every other way...but as a climbing buddy, no thanks...

i dunno...my kids have waaaaay more committments than i had at that age... more homework, more this, more that... its tough to be a kid today...imo...

have kids?
