allthumbs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I'm comin' clean. I'm a backpacker and scrambler, not a true climber. I try not to pose as a climber and if I have, I'm sorry. I'm interested in all the same shit y'all are, and I was born to spray, so here I am. I'm too old and chickenshit to really climb the way you guys do, although I've do jump in my crampons to cross snowed in ridges and shit to get where I'm goin'. I'll scramble up till I get scared and stop to roll a fatty and take in the view. So I'll probably never see the summit. My loss. Anyway, that's my story. If you guys want me to split...say so and I'll be gone. I'd like to hang around. [ 01-10-2002: Message edited by: trask ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 You must not judge yourself by the summits you have attained or how hard you climb but rather by how hard you spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 It's not about "seeing the summit," it's all about enjoying what you run in to along the way...and bitching at your partners on the way back down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
