This is the greatest thread ever. The only one that I have to add is:

...your knuckles are always bloody but you've never been in a fist fight.
...you wear smaller shoes than your little sister (And like it)
...you've considered a job as a window washer on a sky-scraper just so you can get paid to "practice"

...you pass out after a conference dinner and wake up on top of the wardrobe back in your room.

...you've been deathly sick for a fortnight but still find chalk splotches in random places on almost everything you own.

You figured out a way to get onto the overhanging roof of your school with a spotter instead of a latter to get a frisbee. Then, you start purposely throwing the frisbee on it every day.

I did this several months ago, I dropped a wrench from off the top of my CNC router, as my super. was below, he look up and said what... (SMACK) right in the kisser, luckily it was only the 21mm wrench and flat side to his mouth and not the 42mm, I had it on a biner... And had I had my chalk bag, I wouldn't have lost my grip...A fat, bloody lip and a warning for not saying wrench instead.. :oops: :oops: damn it submitted it twice and won't delete it... :x

You wear your harness to work and and yell TAKE when you get to the top of the elevator shaft.

Wow, I don't think you'd be called a climber. I'm pretty sure you'd be called 'Special'.

I work in the Sears Tower, they'd probably arrest me for that. I really don't want to spend my life in G'itmo.

.....If you have a name for each of your cams and talk to them while you climb.

.....If your carry on bag weighs more than 80 pounds.

......If you look @ a pile of rocks or dirt and imagine it to be a big mountain and then route find. :lol:

......If you sleep in a sleeping bag for more than three months out of the year and like it. :P

......If basically you involve climbing somehow in every aspect of life. :roll:

I. If you climb anything and everything. From door frames, to sculptures, to buildings in your university(got in trouble by two old professors), to brick smoke stacks(almost got arrested for this one), to stone penacostal churches(almost got arrested for that one too!) to trees and much much much much more!! If it looks remotely climbable or even if it doesn't i'll try!!!
II. If adding to your rack is more important than your car payment.
III. If you skip class/work to climb and don't care.
IV. If your life goals are to become a homeless climbing bum!!!!!!
