You describe part of a harness as: ConverseClimber wrote: not the gear loop but the one right above the ass straps |

Like this?

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...
Exhibit A:
However, if Steve House qualifies, then Sign me up!

Not bad. That'll redirect the arrow for anyone dumb enough to quote you.

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.

Yah but if I have to quote someone that quoted me then I'm a n00b again.

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.

Technically you're calling yourself a n00b by quoting my post.
