catbirdseat Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 An article appeared in this morning's Post Intelligencer. CascadeClimbers.com was mentioned and our own Bug was quoted. Way to go, Bug! It's in the P-I Quote
mec Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I was actually a bit impressed with the article. It was not the usual dribble about extreme sports, pushing it to the limit, andrenaline junky crap, etc... Quote
selkirk Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Just think, now for societal cost we can always tell people, well, our other option is to be criminals or junkies! They cost the tax payer way more than climbing rescues! As climbers we support the entire outdoor industry instead of stealing peoples mail and commiting identity theft!! Quote

We are the ones who would have otherwise become criminals had we not been "socialized differenetly" into becoming climbers. Quote

Bill_Simpkins Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 "Generally, the high-sensation-seeking types fall into four broad categorizations. Some fill more than one: thrill and adventure seeking; experience seeking (non-conformity or impulsiveness, for example); disinhibition seeking (such as multiple sex partners, drugs or drinking); and boredom susceptibility."

They cost the tax payer way more than climbing rescues! As climbers we support the entire outdoor industry instead of stealing peoples mail and commiting identity theft!! I think that should serve as a reasonable justification for the government actually sponsoring my climbing need. Much like a methadone clinic, there could be a government store where Icould display my certified adrenaline junky card and have fresh gear issued to me whenever I want. Yeah, I like that idea Quote
Off_White Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Did I misread, or did that article suggest that elite climbers have a fondness for group sex? Quote

archenemy Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Did I misread, or did that article suggest that elite climbers have a fondness for group sex? Glad I got a good foundation for becoming an elite climber. Quote
specialed Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 So that's what y'all do at your "pub clubs." Quote
specialed Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Glad I got a good foundation for becoming an elite climber. I'm glad I have a good foundation for having group sex. Quote
selkirk Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Did I misread, or did that article suggest that elite climbers have a fondness for group sex? Glad I got a good foundation for becoming an elite climber. Should this be combined with the bad date thread? Quote
Bug Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Glad I got a good foundation for becoming an elite climber. I'm glad I have a good foundation for having group sex. For the record, I would like to add that I have NEVER had group sex. Maybe I've just been too eager. Quote
