Dru Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 In 1998 and 1999 I worked in a climbing gym. Since that time i have only climbed on plastic once... Until a few weeks ago. Yes, i bought a year pass to the local chalk filled room. I sold out. Stupid warm winter. Quote
Bogen Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Well, what choice do you have? Gotta stay in shape, and you ain't gettin younger. Quote
Dru Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Back when, it used to be I could stay strong by climbing a lot outdoors and by throwing boxes around all day in a warehouse. Well after getting injured this summer I stayed fit but I lost some strength thru not climbing for 3 months and climbing on weekends just isn't getting it back I still hate plastic though It might finally motivate me to buy a house just so's I can make my own gym in the barn or garage.

Squid Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Don't make the mistake of building a home gym. You will not find any prana tops in there. Quote
scottie_c Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 thats funny because I too feel this way. started out climbing indoors during February, but once all the snow and ice melted off the cliffs, I bought a rack and never looked back... until I met a girl. she is just getting into climbing and at the same starting point I once was at. I've found climbing in the gym excellent training for keeping my climbing muscles going while my ice climbing muscles are taking form. also, it's good to socialize with all the cute college chicks. don't sweat it man Quote
Dru Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Unfortunately out here in the sticks the Prana top hotties do not appear to frequent the gym. The women that frequent the gym all apparently weigh more than I do Quote
Bogen Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Yeah, if you gotta climb indoors, the social aspect is nice. Except when they get groups of cub scouts or birthday parties. Also, I never seem to do much gymnastic climbing outdoors, and it's fun to go work on heel hooking and dynos and shit. After years of bizarre injuries and basic bodily mistreatment, I find I have to maintain a fairly high level of fitness just to be able to get out. Quote
Bogen Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 What sticks? Where the hell did you join? Quote
Bogen Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Ah, yes. Quite the family oriented, christian community, Abbotsford. Maybe they'll let you put some posters up in the gym! Quote
Off_White Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Is that Dru in his halloween costume? Damn, he's hot, no wonder he's in such demand over on that Assendyouwish.com sausageland. What a sport plastic climbing wienie. I bought my membership in the Olympia gym about three weeks ago. Quote
Stemalot Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 yes, this weather sucks big time...can't ice climb and can't go skiing on the local mountains... too bad you live out in the Wack... if you lived closer to Van you could go to Cliffhanger in Coquitlam. lots of Prana top hotties there! they'll help you climb harder Quote
Dru Posted December 17, 2004 Author Posted December 17, 2004 I might be able to go ice climbing this weekend. I recieved a PM with report of secret ice destination to investigate. Will report back on Monday. Quote
Dru Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 Too much stupid work I will be lucky if I get to the gym this evening Quote
Sir_Sends_Alot Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Unfortunately out here in the sticks the Prana top hotties do not appear to frequent the gym. The women that frequent the gym all apparently weigh more than I do a buck forty aint that much for a chick Quote
lancegranite Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Funny, summer is popular gym time for Vegas...115 is just too hot to climb. 100 is ok, as long as it's in the shade....no, this is not a joke. You see...in august, the locals climb naked in Black Velvet all summer. Night climbing is also popular, with group night ascents of long routes. Quote
OlyRob Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 I just joined the gym at Alpine Experience in Oly. Its really good...at least one or two Prana tops every time I show up. Oh yea, the gym is pretty decent too. Quote

Stemalot Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Careful with those Prana tops guys, you might pull a tendon!! that's so true... Quote
