he'll probably say he doesn't know anything about it. Bouldering is like masturbation.
P.S. - Other boulderers please don't take me seriously! (and neither should doosh!)

I fully understand.
I am like: you pack the bowl. And he's like: no, you pack the bowl. And then me again: no, I packed it last time. And then him: Well, I'll pack it next time. Me again: Oh for christsakes! Just pack a bowl. Him: No way, pass the chalkpot. Me: Eff that! Pack the bowl, then chalk up. Him: NO you pack the bowl.
Like married people...

Spoken by one male wall climber as he puts his arm around his male partner while sitting on the rock two thousand feet off the deck,
"Gosh, these bivi ledges sure get lonely, don't they?"

I'll agree with Tradpuppy. I've been through lots of the same stuff with my partner. Stuck ropes, storms, almost dying on a mountain in a winter hail and lightning storm. Yup. Been there, done that.
We always argue about stupid things, constantly, that don't matter. However, you have one thing wrong. It wouldn't be like getting a divorce at all. Not even close.
I'm married. Trust me. I KNOW what I am talking about.
If anything, it would be like losing that girlfriend that you enjoyed great sex with. Then, all of the sudden, you were lonely and pleasing yourself again!

The best combination, in my humble opinion, is the climbing partner who IS your spouse. Makes explaining those lonely ledges a LOT easier.

No! Marriage is wonderful. I love being married and I love my wife more than anything. I'm just describing what it would be like to lose a really good climbing partner. Not what getting married is like.
You want to know what getting married is like? Go into your kitchen, get the largest and heaviest skillet you onw...then smash your face with it repeatedly!
I'm just kidding!
Marriage is wonderful. I love being married.

Fess up, she reads these posts doesn't she? :|o|: My climbing partner is my wife as well and other than the fact that I would like to climb with a more experienced partner sometimes so that I could learn to climb better, the arrangement really does work out well and she does let me play with her rack from time to time. Would I want to be stuck on a big wall climb with her for three days I think NOT!!
I have heard some very experienced climbing partners whining to each other though, and they really do sound like old married couples in need of some counselling. Maybe someone should start up a Climbing Partners Counselling Service (CPCS?)

Man,I have had so many different climbing partners.......I feel so CHEAP!
I hope that doesn't mean I'm bi-sexual(NO WAY!!!!)
I guess I am just one of them "Rock Sluts" I have been warned about.
Climb Happy

Like a perfect marriage, it only lasts as long as you want it to. And no pre-nuptial lawyer thing to foul things up.
The really weird part is the honeymoon, when the only thing going is a shot of Kessler's to celebrate the Big Win.
A True Master of the Walls would climb with hottees, and consumate the bizarre conjoining with a bit of the. .. . .. .

I am definatley one of those sluts!
Keeps it more interesting that way.
That way when one gets to be an old stick in the mud there is someone else to liven it up. Plus I always have someone to climb with.

I climb with numerous partners, and I live in Utah.... does that make me a polygamist??
I have partners for every skill level....
- One for when I want to be challenged, and pushed to my limits.
- One for when I want to climb in my comfort zone.
- One for when I want to sit back and belay, climb a little in between.
- One who tells fishing stories
- And finally, my lovely wife who will belay me, but doesn't want to leave the ground. I don't mind she doesn't climb, because she lets me go whenever and wherever I want.
She doesn't mind if I climb with females, because she knows I would never even think of trading her in (she is top-of-the line) for a fixer-upper.
As for being married and the analogy to climbing partners.... Definitely not!!! Switching out partners is much easier, and if your partner knows you climb with someone else.... big deal!! And if you separate there is no 'parting the gear' or 'community property'

For years my wife was my climbing partner, and we had great times; I found after the birth of our first child that she was less willing to stay committed on a climb; a two day lightning storm under the N. Face of Mt. Robson was enough for her to want to bail and go home to see our daughter (age 10 months) who was in perfectly good hands with my mother-in-law. I suppose one must take the good with the bad; you can have a blowup with a male climbing partner, but making up isn't as much fun as it is with a wife...

cyberclimber,
No. She doesn't. I'm going to probably catch some slack for this, but I really don't give a damn.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I love my wife more than anyone in my life. She is my reason for being, my love, my life. Now, it may be hard for others to understand this, but this IS how I feel.
However, that was a great joke!
Steve
