Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Do you wake up at 5 AM for the alpine start for ice climbing and rock climbing when it is not necessary? Do you eat healthy foods? Do you avoid big macs, whole barns etc? Do you refuse beer in large quantities the night prior to climbing? Are you a non Smoker Do you climb 5.12 or WI5? Do you wear spandex ? Are you missing a beer gut? Do you tape your hands to crack climb every time? Do you decline weed? Do you train for climbing? If you can anwer yes to 5 of above questions you might be a robot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 What if you answer "NO" to all of the questions. Is that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 Then you need to climb with me I dont climb with robots except Sisu Suomi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Shit man I got 5 yesses. Guess which ones! And does "Are you a non Smoker" refer to tobacco or sweet leaf? Cause I like to save my lungs for the good stuff just like I dont give Coors or Bud etc to my kidneys unless its free.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 SUV's are another factor and not to be included but good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 On the robot note: Robots were spotted in Lillooet this past weekend. We drank all night and smoke our lungs out. We ate greasy breakfast and dinners. We did not lead any WI5 or 5.12. I was the only beer gut holder. We asked for weed at all chances possible! We wore no spandex. Yet we still beat the robots to climbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 The do you tape your hands questions - those people are not Robots. They are Bumblies. You know, huge tape gloves when they are going to climb Diedre which has no hand jams on the whole route just finger jams. also seen climbing in party of 4 with 1 leader, 3 followers and everyone wearing an 80L pack full of watermelons to eat on Broadway ledge.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 Note on tape Hands: I said tape hands on every crack climb. Some would be wise to tape on but I have found merely a select few. Like only one that I can immediately think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 tape is for emergancy reasons only. like when you get that compound fracture and you don't want the bone tearing through anymore skin. tape it up. and deal with it when you get home.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 You are not a robot. I know this man. You drink ,smoke, dont train as the definition I know, spandex in your bedroom does not count TMI!, Alpine start my arse, eat like me , you never decline weed remember weed is smoking ha!, yes missing beer gut. No go at this station! Get back in line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Ok I wake up early. Got up at 11PM once for best conditions! Lycra - do bike tights count? I wear them climbing sometimes too. Beer - I actually have declined on large quantities of ber and gone to bed early in the past in order to climb hard the next day. 5.12 and WI5 - on TR once or twice, lots of flailing. Tape - is aid. Smokes - save lungs for the good stuff. weed - see smokes. This is the good stuff. health food - i do sometimes eat tofu, sprouts, veggies etc. yet i always eat big grease fests when climbing since i need the fat to stay warm. beer gut - 32 inch waist does not seem to qualify. if I had an "ale appendage" maybe i wouldnt get so cold when climbing. train for climbing - only if forced to orbored. i did do a bunch of calf raises before the rockies and biceps curls holding ice tool. but i prefer the biceps curl holding a beer so I think that is about 4.5 +/- out of 5 just call me r2 d2.

Bronco Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Any of you who are Robots, PM or email me, I'm interested in going climbing before 10 am sometime with someone who doesent have to stop every 10 minutes to puke, catch thier breath or blaze a doobie. But, I do like Zekes burgers and don't like men in spandex. [ 01-14-2002: Message edited by: Bronco ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Do you wake up at 5 AM for the alpine start for ice climbing and rock climbing when it is not necessary?I've been known to. (Primarily to avoid crowds) Do you eat healthy foods? Occasionally Do you avoid big macs, whole barns etc?Big Mac's Suck: Red Mill on the other hand Rocks Do you refuse beer in large quantities the night prior to climbing?>6 Probably <6 No Are you a non Smoker yep Do you climb 5.12 or WI5?If I can't gorillia through it, I probably can't climb it, and I spend way too much time on my boards to know what WI5 is, but I'm pretty sure it's above my abilities. Do you wear spandex Only on the bike Are you missing a beer gut?Not since I was about 4 Do you tape your hands to crack climb every time?Nope Do you decline weed?Usually. Pot just makes me want to shut myself up in a room, listen to the Alman Brothers, and play Tetris Do you train for climbing?Have to keep the beer gut from dunlopping over the harness. It's either train or quit drinking beer, and the latter just ain't gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 15, 2002 Author Share Posted January 15, 2002 I should change the subject to "do you think you are a ropegun?" then see what kind of responses I get hahahha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Yeah, I bet the responses would be different... Mine would be: Always looking for one Aspire to climb enough that I'd someday be one, you know, in the next 5-10yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Taping your hands before a crack climb is like having sex with a condom on. Don't cheat yourself- nothing beats admiring your 'gobes' while sitting at a desk monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Hmmm... this doesn't look good. 1. only get up early when forced or have insomnia 2. yeah, eat healthy (so I don't have to lug big mac gut up mtn) 3. yup, didn't once, I'm not a good enough climber to be hungover 4. Non-smoker. 5. Have TR flailed .12, have followed WI 5 with some kind of style. Can't lead it. 6. Spandex when cycling or running. 7. No beer gut. (Too lazy to want to haul beer gut up mtn) 8. Yeah, but my job requires that I have no open wounds on my hands. 9. Never had the opportunity to... (Guess I'm not hanging with the right crowd) 10. See answer 5. Yes, I train. (I'm not good enough not to) [ 01-14-2002: Message edited by: icegirl ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
