Thank you.

As far as I can see, their statement is correct. Note they did not say they "climbed" a twelve. If yer gonna be picky, get specific man.

This part could be expanded to a full-length story. (the "lawyer" detail is a nice touch) In the show's most overwrought scene, an alcoholic, adulterous, porn-addicted litigation lawyer who has just secured freedom for a known paedophile stabs his wife rather than have her discover he has been molesting their daughter. The daughter then shoots her father, retreats to her room and slits her wrists, spilling fake blood over the floor, next to her bible.

Thank God you and your partner are more or less okay. Welcome to the land of the living. I am convinced you arrive only after a near death experience. Glad you lived to share your experience!!

OK RoboBaby, link me to the thread you are whining about.

Worst shit eech

Must be rough.

I would. But, I would keep in mind that it was: "destiny, initially you try it and you think this is too hard, this is horrible, I’m never going to do this, then you get mad with yourself, and you think ‘O come on, it can’t be that bad, maybe I should have another day on it’, so you have another day on it"

If I had the 9 1/2, I wouldn't settle for the 5 1/2. But sometimes, ya just gotta make do.

I'll take the fiver. Hell, I woulda taken the 5 1/2er

Nah, Dru could simulpost his way past any of us. Women leave this site not to go to the SSF, but just to get away from this site.

I started sport climbing (just a little bit after work while the weather was still good). Decided to lead a bolted climb that has a tough little crux in a not-so-good spot. Fell on lead. Immediately tried again. Fell again. Tried again. Fell. Tried. felltriedfelltried. And finally, lost my fear of falling while leading a funky little sport climb.

That's CanadiaNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN to you sister.

I don't get it.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

No, I'm still here.

ah, yes, squidism. Its all coming clear to me now. My rule for climbing is that my climbing partner has to be better than me. Fortunately, this does not rule many people out.

And for those who were busy getting drunk and being harassing women last night?

What are you saying? Dru has no point?

What are they?

I'm not sure I can use this new rating system effectively...

I can tell you from personal experience that drowning does not happen in a flash, but soon as the realization hits you that you are drowning and there is nothing you can do, it is actually pleasant. Dying is not as bad as it is made out to be. Neither is climbing for that matter.

One word: Threesome!!!

Seems also like there is the assumption that there is nothing good, or maybe even better, after death.

Well, I'd sure appreciate if it would adorn my family breast.
