lancegranite Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I am sick of the labels...I climb! Trad, sport,alpine, pebbler, ice, trees, all fall under the simple term...climber. By choosing to climb, I choose to live my life without without limits. Quote
lancegranite Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 But I am a climbing monkey! Quote
specialed Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 You get a banana after every climb. Good monkey. Quote
Dru Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Monkeys climb MUCH harder than you do. Johnny Dawes bribed some Indian monkeys in Hampi (banana) to get beta for the local boulder problems, but he didn't have the power to weight ratio to pull like they did. Quote
korup Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Dude, it must have been hard to type that message, having to put the bong down for a second and all.... Quote
texplorer Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I am a trad climber. I am tired of being lumped into the same category as bouldererererers, sportos, sloggers, etc. Quote
specialed Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I climb for God, Baby Jesus, and George Bush. Quote
SnowByrd Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Monkeys climb MUCH harder than you do. Johnny Dawes bribed some Indian monkeys in Hampi (banana) to get beta for the local boulder problems, but he didn't have the power to weight ratio to pull like they did. MOST monkeys have opposable thumbs on their feet as well as their hands. If he's one of these....does he wear climbing shoes or go shoeless? Oh...and I climb for drugs, sex, and rock n roll...yeah...thats it. tee hee Quote
iain Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Dammit can't anyone spell around here? It's "climb 4 God". Quote
Dru Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 are they letting skiiers post in the rock forum now to make up for rudy posting drivel in the freshie forum? Quote
iain Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 oh so I'm not a climber eh? I didn't realize the definition came with a "bad skier" prerequisite. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Dr. Flash Amazing is a climber. A sports climber. If you're any other type of climber, you can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut! You can take a flying fuck at the moon, for that matter!* *Thanks, KV! Quote
Dru Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 oh so I'm not a climber eh? I didn't realize the definition came with a "bad skier" prerequisite. summitting Hood is hiking, not "climbing" Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 and you know I'm comin' straight out the muhfuggin' hood, B. Word up, I-to-the-M! Don't let them wack-ass haters front on your mad steez! Represent! Quote
fenderfour Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I'm a gaper. I'm a rope tangling, belay device dropping, 5.8 leading, non-skiing, too-fat-for sport, too-slow-for alpine, non-dry-toolin, cheap gear owning, WI3 sketching fuck-off. I've never lead 5.10 trad. I've never tried 5.11 sport. I've climbed the WA volcanoes by the easiest routes possible. The only leader fall I've taken was 20+ feet… in the gym. I've never bivvied a storm on a big wall. Hell, I've never bivvied a storm. I believe in the light-and-slow approach to climbing. I believe in Wild Turkey on summits and PBR in parking lots. I don't own a crash pad and I could give a shit about V10 bouldering. I don't know any big name climbers, and I don't care to know any. I've flailed trying to toprope Classic Crack, only to watch someone else solo it. I still enjoy hiking the Mt Si trail. I've never been benighted on a route. I have respect for the Mountaineers because they are teaching people to climb. I have respect for REI because they are a business doing what businesses do. I don't talk about what I do because what I do sucks. Regardless of all this, I still have a great time climbing. Next time you see a big-ass bearded son-of-a-bitch sweating like Drew Carey in a South American marathon, laboring up a trail or thrutching up a 5.6, stop and say hi. I'll appreciate it. Quote
lancegranite Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 I might be a non-monkey but at least...I choose to climb. I mean, I think I am...Beckey called me this morning to go..... Quote
