glen Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 You might be a WA climber if: You need a machete to climb a crack... You consider climbing in the rain a normal, perfectly acceptable thing to do... Slush and ice are your favorite conditions... "Rusty is trusty"... Any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMAZONIA Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 You can't find climbing shoes that fit because you have webbed feet. You have chopped a first accent because your ego is bigger than your climbing ability. You can't road trip to other states because the moss on your back starts to crack. You think the backwoods crag you climb at is better than the vally. Your girlfriend is covered with hair has only one continuous eye brow and big feet. You have a 5ft crow bar on your trad rack and you call climbers that boulder, mat faggots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glacier_dup1 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 ...you spend more time organizing the next pub club than your next trip. ...you can catch a 60 foor whipper with a hip belay, but can't pass a gym belay test. ...you consider devil's club a useful handhold when scrambling. ...three miles of postholing is considered an easy approach. ...you can make an approach in a mere twice the time of a typical Beckey estimate. ...you don't really consider it a rock climb if the backs of your hands don't touch the rock at some point.
