minx 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. bug-- there are pills and "techniques" to stop you from being "too eager" Quote

Dechristo Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I'm bored with this thread... Better go steal somethin' Quote
Dustin_B Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 "They have in common this: They love taking risks," I don't completely agree with this. This statement is too broad. I like taking calculated risks, and I dislike taking unnecessary risks. Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I'm bored with this thread... Better go steal somethin' I'm bored of that too... Maybe I'll go "extreme summiting" on Rainier instead... Quote

thelawgoddess 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."

Mike_Gauthier Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 "They have in common this: They love taking risks," ...I like taking calculated risks, and I dislike taking unnecessary risks. I loved playing "Risk" as a kid. The key is to take over Australia or South America, save up the extra continent points and then invade other areas (like Africa.) Never try to hold Asia or Europe...

Dru Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 actually the trick to winning risk is to build up a massive blob army and send it lurching around the globe conquering countries, while leaving only token forces in all the conquered states. i think gwb2 might have played risk as a kid altho i bet he cheated at it.

You sound like an elite Risk player. Quote

That's what I'm saying, save the extra armies by gaining a continent, build a blob and take over... Oh yeah, you have to gain a new country every round, so that you get a card. Quote
dlc 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... The author of that aricle is a climber.... Quote
Dechristo Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 The author of that aricle is a climber.... ...who, bored, stole the idea for the story from a fellow crack-head at a Wesson party. Quote
specialed Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 As if. Climbers can't hold down real jobs. They make all their money stealing cars and running dope and shit. Quote
knelson Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 The author of that aricle is a climber.... ...who, bored, stole the idea for the story from a fellow crack-head at a Wesson party. Actually, it seemed amazingly similar to the story quoted here... http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/472358/an/0/page/2#472358 The text that "faster_than_you" pasted was from a psychobabble journal published in 1994. -kurt Quote
specialed Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 And just for the records, all those Boeing engigeer / Mountaineer types, they don't climb because they are adrenaline junkies, they climb because they see climbing as rewarding rule-based, structured thought process. Same with the social aspect of it and having to do certain climbs so you can get your intermediate status or whatever. That adrenaline junky car thief bullshit might apply to dirtbag rock monkey or modern alpinists, but not to your run of the mill northwest mountaineers, who are the ones who have been involved in the recent publicized accidents.

archenemy Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I think that information is reference in the other article: "What Fuels the Psycho Climber?" Quote
