ChrisT Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I saw a film once (in a class?) where they performed brain surgery and just by touching certain parts of the brain, the patient would instantly be "transported" back in time, even talking like a baby if that's how far back they went - talking as if they were actually in a place from 10 years earlier instead of flat on their back on the operating table.

RideT61 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm not sure what I do can actually be called "climbing". Maybe flailing would be a more appropriate term. That being said. Peak hiking since '85 Rock flailing since '98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
