So I started climbing with a pretty close group of friends. We have all progressed at different levels and what not. Though not until I started climbing with other people did I finally start to figure it out all on my own. Which I think is kinda odd, as all my friends are pretty decent climbers in their own right. But who knows maybe there is a hidden element that is bred within an old group of friends in which limits our potential growth within the group? I dunno. In the last 2 years, I have started to climb with two people in particular that have taught me more about climbing well, then anyone else ever has. I have always liked to attempt to see what everyone is doing different and to see if I could adopt something to make me better. But with these people it seemed to be their attitude more then anything. Not their climbing style, their gear but how they approached it. It all makes sense now! I have learned to "JUST FUCKING DO IT!" & "QUITE YOUR WHINING AND GET IT DONE". Or the more latonic "Yeah man, we'll send this bitch and then go get some beers" & "Hurry up with the pitch and we'll smoke a phatty". Sure these seem kinda rude or offbase, but it is the message that is important. I take it as, quit overthinking make the moves and finnish it up. The others are a slight reward for a job well done. Everytime I go out I attempt to apply these to my thinking and my doing. So far with the help of an attitude I have been able to pull of some neat climbs. So anyone else have someone who has helped make them a better climber? To the midget jerk and the albatross

for some reason, your bombardment of hate seems to be sloughing like a lite spring summer followed by a bright afternoon sunshine!

you just broke down the incident so well and that coupled with your insider's knowledge in the heavy construction industry, i though you may have stepped up for some continuing education classes. but i guess i was wrong!
