Reminds me of a time I was snoozing in the Mt. Hood climber's register when I heard a horrible scraping sound. I looked up with a "What the hell..?" and saw a lady coming in wearing the spikes from her car! Makes me wonder if the Mt. Hood brewpub has crampon scratches on its floor.

 

so to add (OR gapers)...

 

...if you've ever been on a rope team within 100 meters of Timberline Lodge.

 

...if you've ever self-arrested to avoid falling into the parking lot.

You walk around campus with 10 'biners clipped to your northface bookbag- you stop of at the Tav (in ellensburg) on you way back from Vantage and bring you packs in, and start coiling ropes/ reracking quickdraws in the bar (true story, I've seen it)- you can lead 11d sport but are scared to lead party in your pants- you ask me to turn my music down at the grasslands- you have a free tibet sticker on your helmet/car- you try to look like Chris Sharma- you go to western (same as previous)- you live in wenatchee but 'sport'climb at vantage 5 days a week- you walk around the crags with lots of tape on your hands, a helmet, and a bunch of hexes- you wait in line to climb clip 'em or skip 'em- you go to smith and work the same route all weekend- you hang out with route bolters so people will think your cool....

You tape your hands to climb Diedre or Banana Peel.

 

You are seen driving around Squamish on Saturday night looking for a free camping spot but you end up paying to camp at the Chief.

 

You think the Brew Pub is a cool place to hang out at Squamish.

 

You prounounce it DEER -dree

 

You have heard of Slesse and Whistler and no other BC mountains.

 

You think a trad route is one where you have to supplement the bolts with one cam.

 

You have climbed Disappointment Cleaver a dozen times and no other routes on no other mountains.

 

You have the Tooth on your climbing resume and it is listed as a 5.5.

 

You have a climbing resume period.

...you're wearing all of your Gore-tex in the parking lot-before you leave the trail head.

 

...you use a hydration pack.

 

...you wear a foam climbing helmet

 

...you bring crack climbing shoes, face climbing shoes, approach shoes and hiking boots on the same trip

 

...you talk really loud about your crazy climbing epics on Bruce's Boulder while sitting in Gustav's with your Mountie friends.
