Dru Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 What if you invented a time machine, went back in time, and taught yourself how to climb? Â Would your skills exponentially improve? Quote
ChrisT Posted March 8, 2005 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 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
shapp Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 climbed out of the womb in 1974 and into a tree in about 1978 Quote
OldManRock Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 What if you invented a time machine, went back in time, and taught yourself how to climb? Would your skills exponentially improve?  Dru - If I invented a time machine and went back, I would also invent Friends, sticky shoes, harness, axe axes that work on ice, rigid crampons, ice screws, etc, etc Quote
