RuMR Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 "I went to the gym for the first time in over two months after returning from a road trip. It f---ing sucks. I was falling all over the place too, and those holds were hurting. My fingers are sore as hell. I watched in dismay as I got smoked by 17 year old gym rats. Then some kid who's never touched stone in his life told me that I could be pretty good if I just improved my finger strength and then he started to walk away. So I grabbed him and threw him against the wall and I took his f---ing head and I put it on the f---ing floor and said, 'you mutta f---, I've taken 50 foot falls onto tiny tcu's, I got respect in all 5 boro's — sport, trad, big wall, ice, and alpine. My mudda can hold her head high in any crag in this country. Look at me, I got 26 first ascents under my belt and you're going to walk out on me? I walk out on you.' I mean I said, 'yeah, I really need to work on my finger strength'....." — Christian Brooks. Quote
