so...ANOTHER REASON TO HATE THE GYMS...

[RuMR]

[RuMR]

yup...just goes to show that those portland folks are just plain nasty and gross...

[StreetBoss]

Dude - the climbing gym is a gross place. You seen folks putting their stinky ass feet all over the place. Just plain gross. Then they take their climbng shoes off and rub their feet and try to shake your hand. Uggg

[mountainmatt]

I always make sure to wash my hands really well before I leave the rock gym. Everytime I don't, I seem to get sick.

[catbirdseat]

Do everyone a favor and wash you hands both BEFORE and AFTER you climb in the gym or use the lavatory.

[plexus]

"Wow Ryan you really seem to be climbing really well tonight. What's your secret?"

 

"Oh, I just took a page out of Moises Alou's playbook. I just piss on my hands before I climb a route."

[G-spotter]

I think the spider that was biting that guy was a "barking spider".

[Dechristo]

usually you can smell 'em when they're close.

 

excepting my barking spiders are odorless

Defeat CA-MRSA. Climb in a body glove.

One of the unheralded risks associated with the gyms that have pea gravel for landing pads: Silica dust is realeased en massa into the air. Silica has been called the "new" Asbestos for lung disease and carcinoma. Fun

Didja see that guy sneeze all over the holds on that route just before you climbed it? And right afterwards you rubbed the sweat outa your eyes and ate some candy, right?

This is more scary than anything...

Stone Gardens plans to do away with pea gravel and go with foam. It will be much more hygienic, but I predict more sprained ankles.

Your reading comprehension needs some work. Joseph was NOT the original poster, he was cross-posting for someone else. If you read the entire thread you'll note that the original poster chimed in--and she is in Boston.

 

Not that gyms aren't nasty of course.

Edgeworks in Tacoma used to have the pea gravel and changed over to foam a few months ago. I think most everyone approves of the change. It was really dusty with the gravel and all the boulderers had gravel patterns imprinted on their butts! (I was going to put the mooning emoticon there, but it seems to have been done away with!)

[RuMR]

you can go look at my pic for a moon!

[gertlush]

This is all very disgusting but the gym is still my best chance of meeting a sober woman so I'm gonna keep goin no matter what...

[RuMR]

why do you wanna meet one who's sober?

[gertlush]

That's a good point actually...ok that settles it then, I'm never going to the gym again.

[northvanclimber]

YUCK! that is gross! skull

[pink]

infinity and beyond

[chase986]

shut up and climb, you sound like a bunch of bitches

[kevbone]

shut up and climb, you sound like a bunch of bitches

 

I’m going to have to agree with this poster. STFU and climb. Jesus you all sound like a bunch of silly wanking beyoches. Gyms help with training, and as much bitching is done on this silly nilly RuMr thread, YOU ALL GO TO THE GYM AND CLIMB.

[StreetBoss]

Yes we all go to the gym, however you dont have to be a disgusting pig. How many times have climbers gone to the bathroom and NOT washed their hands? I see every time I go. Gross. Stop touching your stinky feet. The gym is a training facility not your living room.
