RuMR Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 This was a funny post from rockclimbing.com land...hahahahaha Where does "how hard I used to climb" fit in? It's difficult in two situations: First, when some gumby comes up and sees me thrashing violently on some overrated 5.11a and starts to offer beta, even though I onsighted it back in the day when it was rated 5.9. I wanna wring his scrawny neck and jam a fistful of draws down his throat and tell him goddamn it I usually warm up on this pile in my tennis shoes. Instead, I usually say "Thanks!" and then hit on his girlfriend later. Second, when some upstart tries to get me to put the draws on his 12b project, because he happened to belay me back in the glory days when I flashed Pretty Hate Machine. I wanna say, "Goddamn you, I still can crank, just not today, because I worked 60 hours a week and haven't climbed in 3 months and goddamnit put your own draws up". Instead, I usually say, "Sure!" and then hit on his girlfriend later. Please advise. Quote

ME TOO and I want to have scabs and briuses to last a week or two so I can remember what I have done, or not done (fallen on repeatedly) depending on the weekend Quote
