oh man..the "when you look at a buiilding and your friends say no" one..!!
That is F'in funny..My fairly new girlfriend said that to me just the other day... she knew what I was thinking. haha...
it was one of those half smiling "No's" but in the look it was also one of the "No's" that had that " you'll get arrested and I won't bail you out" tones to it.
--when you have seriously considered bolting the side of your brick house...
( probably would have done it if I thought I had a chance in hell of sending it)

In reply to: In reply to: I'm a PE teacher. -In our volleyball unit I hand drilled holes in the school walls to hang the net in the play area. The anchors are RAWL 5 piece bolts with Metolius hangers. I heard your bolts are right next to a bomber green alien placement. CHOP CHOP! I bet you didn't even bolt them on lead. What kind of message are you trying to send to America's youth?
I hand drilled those bolts, on lead motherfucker (well, standing on the ground).
That volleyball net went up GROUND UP asscan!!!
Besides, it's all fun anyway. Don't you know the best volleyball player is the one who's having the most fun.

1. You chose your college based on climbing
2. You brought three bags to college to be "fast and light"
3. Two of those bags were filled with climbing gear
4. Your worst nightmare is missing a day of climbing

your hands brush past things and somehow manage to assume they are climbing and find a decent hold.
happens all the time to me

In reply to: You ask your boss to reschedule your annual performance to after 10am because you can't get out of bed before 9, but you routinely see the sun rise on climbing trips.
Hahahahah SO God damn ture. I've been late to my 11 o'clock class before and I struggle making it on time to the 9 o'clock ones, but when I'm wide awake and making breakfast by 6 am if I'm out on a climbing trip.
You climb the metrolink brdige that's made of rock going between parts of the
campus (rather than taking the actual metrolink).

Wake up at 2 am with the solution of a hard problem.
Wake up with no problem at 4 am to go climb.
Memorize the routes and moves and tell non-climbers about them.
You enjoy marking your gear.
Use climbing knots to tie everything.
Conclusion very addicted.

when you boulder the kids structure at the park doing laps on the monkeybars.
When you spot your daughter doing the same as you :)

... You do the 5.13 overhanging traverse around the body of your vechicle, because there really isn't anything worthwhile to do elsewise.

You consider or actually name your children something like Prana, Tibloc, Boreal, Hueco, SRENE, Cara Biner (last name), etc…

Thye only thing that really makes you smile, your last weapon against a momentary depression is to go to REI and buy a pairo of climbing shoes.
If that doesn't work either, then it's serious.
You're the only dad reading "Alpinist" at your kids swimming lesson.

The only thing you are really looking for in your next house is a field stone exterior, an attached climbing cave (oops, garage) and some V2+ trees in the backyard

you're alienated by normal folk
you have a collection of guide books for the same area
living out of a van/truck/car is not a pathetic way of life but the opposite
you live off KD and mr noodle
your first question while pulling into town is where's a walmart parkinglot?
a grade 8 geology class has bad ethics
you consider cold food in the hostel/hut to be booty
your vehicle is heavily modified with road tripping in mind
you will bend over backwards for other climbers and spit on yuppies at starbucks

You carry your shoes chalk and a change of cloths at all time just in case you get out of work early.
You have climbed a customers house when you know they are not at home.
You risk not getting to the bath room on time because you can't find that new Rock and Ice.
You talk about people on rc.com to your wife as if you work with them.

when you grab at the door ledge to catch your fall...except you misjudge it because this particular doorway doesn't have a ledge.
when everyone asks, "Are you okay..?"
You reply quickly with a, "Oh yeah. um, this door doesn't have a ledge..." (no crimper to help balance :()
