chucK Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Stefan said: Here's a real one. And this one was by a cc.com poster. I found this excuse out after waiting for one hour for him at our scheduled meeting place. (He never showed up.) My whole weekend was wasted--and it was a gorgeous weekend. "I decided at the last minute to help my girlfriend move." For this very reason, it helps to round up at least two CC.com posters for these climbing blind dates.

chucK Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I REALLY hate this one: "Better to retreat and live to climb another day!" almost as much as "I'd rather not push myself, as long as I get to spend a beautful day in the mountains with good friends, I'm happy."

allison Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I should be leaving to go to the BBQ, but I have considerable experience in this area so I feel compelled to add the following poor excuses: It's too cold it's too hot it's too windy no you guys go ahead, I'll just lay here on the beach all day. Tomorrow we will go to the hospital for X-rays it's too steep it's too slabby my ankles are killing me Vantage is just too loose it's too exposed I think I'm going to throw up my gear is all wet because I accidentally threw my pack in the river my climbing partner gave me a cold my feet are swollen from the heat my ankles hurt my ankles hurt my ankles hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
