What are some of the tell-tale signs that you have seen?
One of my faves is the chalk bag clipped to the back of your harness. Come on n00bs, get some cord fer that thing!

So, carrying extra cord to hang chalkbag off of is better than just having it on your harness?
Or is it wearing the harness, when all you need is a chalkbag, that makes you a noob?

^ What does this make me, if I clip it w/carabiner when top roping (due to incredible ease of it) and has a cord when not using a harness?
I fail to see why one should be put down for taking advantage of a useful feature.

You might be a n00b if you get butthurt over an innocent comment about a chalk bag.

The probability of being a n00b increases exponentially with the number of redundant pieces of unnecessary gear you have clipped to your harness. The most extreme case of this I have ever seen was just two weekends ago at New Jack City, a sport crag. The climber in question was carrying on her harness all of the following at the same time: a PAS, a Chain Reactor, a Purcell prusik, and a huge cordelette. Considering that at a sport crag none of these is really useful, never mind necessary, I think it we can assess her n00b probability to be greater than 99.999%

if...
You point out that a sport route has a spot where a cam could go in "Why is there a bolt here?!?"
you go to rc.com
you want to climb multi pitch sport climbs.
You let every sport climbr know you're a "real" climber because you climb 5.10a trad. and spray about your epic runnout 20 ft above a nut.
carabiners hanging on your backpack.
You use the word "lead" ever.
You climb in Joshua tree... hehehe

The momentum/primrose is a great harness for the price. I wouldn't bother buying anything more expensive unless i was climbing multipitch all the time.
You might be a n00b if you buy a $120 harness to climb at a gym.

It used to be n00bs and gumbs. We even had definitions like we were all n00bs once but you can grow out of being a gumb.
Does anyone care about gumbs anymore?

Are you a n00b if you reply to yourself?
What about if you post to the knob on a beautiful day? (I did do an FA today and several other pitches. The approach was a 10 minute swim, I cheated, I brought flippers this time).

You are certainly a n00b if you don't know what a haul loop is designed to do. Not understanding the value of moving a chalk bag out of the way when in a chimney is just icing on the n00b-cake.

I didn't think "n00b" was a climbing term. I thought is was used by 13 year old boys to describe 30 year old men who have jobs, wives, and kids, after killing them on CoD.

Been climbing for 9 years now, I am still fully a newb. Just when I think I get good at something, reality smacks me in the face.
Something I always felt was noob-ish was wearing a $155 pair of rock shoes in the gym. I''d rather just wear the most beat up pair of leathers I own, why wear the good sh!t on plastic?

That wouldn't be a bad idea. I could fulfill what is pretty much my wildest dream as a boulderer: to climb shirtless even when there's no apparent reason for it, yet still make some sort of fashion statement that no one really respects nor cares about. I could even get one that matches my toque (beanie).
*sigh* Some day.

Then I am definitely a n00b, because I think that climbing is the only thing that matters.

You might be a n00b if you admit that you're a n00b...

You call the rocks holds, or better yet grips.

This is very true. It also seems the more accessible the crag, the higher the concentration of n00bs.
I watched a guy top rope a 40' wall (in Eugene, OR) with half a set of cams and at least a set of nuts on his harness. Just there for looks I guess.

You wouldn't do that though, would you?
At any rate, I'm starting to get a little pissed that you've called me a n00b in this thread twice. Don't try to deny it; I have it directly quoted.

I just call 'em draws. Did you bring enough draws? Yup. Nope. Simple shit, really.
I know people who call routes problems, a hang dog ascent an onsight with a couple of hangs, holds pieces, and it's not really a big deal. I guess you can get anal with the lexicon, but that probably only makes you one sort of n00b or another. The totally serious doesn't think they're a n00b n00b?

Sling is so vague. Does it refer to a trad sling or a sport sling?

That's pretty damn annoying if it happened in person. Fortunately, these arguments seem to only really crop up here on rc.knob, in my experience. I must be climbing with the right wrong crowd!

Thats hardly a noob rope. A noob rope is in a rope bag, but still bound by the plastic straps.

of course, when you're in the 'Gunks, if you ask your partner how many draws he has, and he says, "12," and then pulls out a dozen quickdraws, then you know there's been a slight miscommunication.

You might be a n00b if you actually take the time to respond to one of jt512's witty burns.

You gotta love the irony of this (most likely) 19-year-old kid -- whose prodges are all air-conditioned, 45 degree crimp hauls terminating somewhere near the JBLs -- acting as your God and personal John Long in the realm of technical climbing knowledge. And to think, all this because there was a shortage of life guard jobs at the local swimming pool this summer.

I had my revenge weeks later when the climber he was belaying z-clipped & I had to intervene. Glad this guy was in charge of lead tests, too.

Anyone who uses the term Noon is, in fact, most likely a Noon themselves and just trying to make themselves feel better by cutting up other people.
Spoken by someone who has cliped their chalkbag to the back of their harness for over 15years and has never had it interfere in a chimney. Seriously, if your chalkbag is your excuse for not being able to chimney you are most definitely a Noob!!

My excuse for not being able to do a chimney is that I am a princess. Chimneys are too dirty, unprotected and scary!

I don't need to cut anyone up to feel better where 'noon' is concerned; I just need to start drinking heavily. How else am I supposed to make it through the work week?

Wow, 15 years climbing and you're still a n00b. Theiously, the title says "might". There are exceptions.
Here's another. You might be a n00b if you climb with socks, or you might not. Get it? Probably not.
You might be a n00b if you are a ranger and you rack your nuts on you Swiss seat.

You dumbasses know rc.com is a law firm website right? rocklcimbing.com is a freaking joke filled with sackless sport weenies and mattress carrying happy boys walking in the woods to engage in some sort of "activity". There are exceptions.....myself being one of them...but on the whole you people couldn't carry the sack I carry my balls in.
"Who's a Noob?"
"What do I name my FA?"
"When should I start leading indoors?"
"What color rope should I buy?"
I love laughing at all of you pretending to be cool because you wear rasta wool hats while you boulder.
I love laughing at people who think they are badasswhen they clip their way up a 5.12.
I love laughing at people who think doing figure 4's on a mixed route 3 feet out from a bolt makes them tough
I love laughing at people who call it Mt McKinley
I love laughing at ALL OF YOU!!

Well, they say that laughter is the best medicine, and if it helps cure whatever is wrong with you, I'm glad I could help.
That said, if the only benefit to being one of these exceptions of which you speak is the right to carry your ball sack, I'm going to have to pass.
