When you need a flashlight, you grab a headlamp.
You use duct tape for everything, including blisters.
You wake up with an imprint of a wall hammer on your face.
You actually have fallen while you slept. (Portal ledge)
You have seen birds flying at eye level.
You have a deeper understanding of leg room from sleeping in your car.

~When you see a white powdery substance under a buddies nose and know exactly what he's been doing....
~Campus is a verb
~You get pissed if your hands start feeling smooth
~Your boss asks you to climb two stories up to Hang a Banner because he knows you climb, then you accept a Case of beer as "Hazard" pay.
~You dream of the day you can do a one finger, one arm pull up.
~You feet have a permanent funk to them from your climbing shoes.
The fact you actually read through 17 pages of this thread and still had something to add to the list.

If you've ever been under a manmade tower at midnight, thinking about racking up for it.
Extra Credit: If you were with climbing buddies.
Double Points: If you were considering taking up aid climbing to get up the featureless piece of shit after it wouldn't go free.
More Extra Credit: If you lied to your girlfriend when you got home because you knew she wouldn't appreciate nailing up a building or the money you're going to spend on pins.

You haven't seen your best mate in a year cos she's been overseas and you blow her off when she gets back cos the time she wants to see you is when you're climbing.

So, does that mean that if you ice climb your not a climber? And, what about tree climbing? Would you still be a climber?

Forget it. Indulge in yourselves being climbers (of anything). It sounds great doesnt it.
You might be a noob if you posted with a rediculous "you might be a climber if I talk all day about climbing but dont climb" posts.
Yeah, you.

When you give clients short appointments if they complain that there is only R & I to read in the waiting room. And then give free extra time to those that compliment you on your choice of magz.
When clients would rather talk about climbing than their medical condition

You know if your at work late RC.com is actually a pretty fast site as many of the users have gone home/left work to climb.

when you have "tested" all the climbing shoes at the local REI just to climb the pinnacle because it keeps on raining and you
haven't yet gotten gotten desperate enough (or the money) for a gym membership
when you get really ticked off at the REI people for yelling "get down! no climbing above three feet when testing shoes!" just as you reach the crux move
you name your band "Anchors for Rescue" after the chapter in Mountaineering: the freedom of the hills

In reply to: the best use of google earth you can think of is for scouring your local hills for new bouldering and slacklining spots...
Brilliant!
-when chalk is one of your basic food groups.
-when being late, and having white powder of you means your SO will be pissed, even though she knows it isn't coke
-when you friends don't mind if you play with their nuts
-when your girlfriend doesn't mind if you oggle/plaay with another girl's rack.

- you mono your shopping bags on the way out of the grocery store.
- you can pick up a twelve pack with your thumb and pointerfinger
- you yell "I'm all out of friends and my nuts are too small" and nobody laughs

You have a fight with your S.O. and get told I don't want to see you tomorrow and right away you reach for the phone, call your partner and say..... "Hey, dude! Steller news, I'm free for climbing tomorrow!"
