ivan Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 might find better luck in the partners forum having an actual objective you're interested in helps too Quote
prole Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 The objective has already been reached. Quote
G-spotter Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 How many years of retail experience do you have, how many years have you been a NOLS instructor, and how many windshirts do you own? Quote
Alex Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Dru is not very creative in his spray today. Quote
olyclimber Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 [video:youtube]jhqZcGcwYV8 I recommend using the right industry buzzwords when putting together your climbing resume. Also, use a aesthetic font...NOT comic sans! You also might want to list your other hobbies, no one likes to climb with a bore. Quote
rob Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Also, make sure everyone knows you're white. Quote
G-spotter Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Dru is not very creative in his spray today. There's old meme, and then there's timeless classics Quote
billcoe Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I figured that there was no point ever spraying again when I learned from a buddy that Rudys son, Drew, had climbed Churning in the Wake (5.13a) with no hangs or falls on his 4th or 5th shot at it. 10 years old. If his fingers stay healthy it will kind of make ya wonder what Drew and some of these other lil kids will be getting up in a couple of years. Anyway, welcome to CC.com J5891, don't forget to bring some pictures of where you've been. It's a little confusing but I'm pretty sure that when I was 10, my life didn't evolve around much more than playing with Tonka Trucks in the dirt, learning my Gazintas (ie, 2 gazinta 4, 4 gazinta 8, etc etc) and cross country hiking with my brothers.

Lucky Larry Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Recently I jumped on the 'go, go , go bandwagon encouraging a person that posted and said they were really excited to start climbing. I even offered that person some free gear, no it's not crap. Guess what? Still haven't heard from them seven days later. Does this sound bitter, or a case of you snooze you loose--I'm not going to give it to them now--sorry, I gave it away. It's funny when people get out once a year climbing or fishing or backpacking or whatever and still call it their hobby. Spray is cheap. Sure I had high ambitions this last year. Did I accomplish all of them--no, not even close. I did however get more mileage in than I ever have in any given single year to date. Do I expect people to pat me on the back--no, that's why I do it myself. Hee Haw Quote
Tyson.g Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It's funny when people get out once a year climbing or fishing or backpacking or whatever and still call it their hobby. T' rue dat Larry! Quote
G-spotter Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 How many days a year must one climb to call oneself a climber? Important bullet point for climbing resume. Please advise. Quote
G-spotter Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 And more importantly, does going bouldering count towards that? How about bagging peaks? What if you solo a 5.6 - is that climbing or scrambling? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Here are you definitions: Climbing: Crag Climbing eg Iron Horse Bouldering eg Some pebble in the Icicle Scrambling: Alpine Rock - eg Death Party Route Hiking: Glacier/Snow Routes - eg North Ridge Baker It appears the OP is a hiker. Quote

olyclimber Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 for me its important that the person knows how to wipe. too many bad wipers stinking up the route or car ride too or fro. so thats an important bullet. list experience. Quote
Off_White Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I would like to thank Jonathon for such a lovely bit of non-political climbing related spray. Well done old chap. Quote
ivan Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 too many bad wipers stinking up the route or car ride too or fro. this is why the good-lord invented chain-smoking and 40s of olde english Quote
