HA! agreed.
would you climb with a flying dog in a red cape, blue tights and green underwear, even if that dog knew how to belay safely, also knew tai chi but had bad hair?

I don't know ... tai chi, it's closely related to Fulan Gong and the Chinese gov't tells me they're crazy!!! He's liable to get Jackie Chan on me halfway through this new route I'm doing. It's called 'Crazy Forum Topics Make Diarmid Feel Dirty'
It's rated at like, 5.5a

Dude: I AM a homeless climber. I try never to climb with myself, and I don't expect others to have to climb with me. I try to disintegrate my ego and freesolo, that way, I'm neither climbing w/myself nor w/anyone else. And yes, I WOULD knock you up and steal your gear. Knock you OUT, i meant knock you OUT...
The other problem: If you were a homeless serious climber, would you climb w/someone who actually lived in a HOME? They're so mundane and boooring, and all they talk abt is their cute little family and their mortgage payment and the lawn and their Koowel new gigantic SUV....

sorry but i think since we are rock climbers therefore we are poverty stricken am i right? we spend all our extra money on new gear to replace the old so therefore i am poor as balls and i don't go around stealing peoples stuff. get that?

Well in January I'm signing up to my local climbin gym, and buying a new harness and shoes... So I guess I would be in the poverty stricken category after that.. hee hee. And I would climb with me.

Have your laugh folks. I did. But do you really care who is in the rock climbing community? I'm here because of just that. I don't care. Protect your gear (haha) and protect your ego. Happy Holidays to absolutely everyone who visits here.

why wont you climb with me? is it because i sleep on my crashpad near a river? gambling with my life everytime a flash flood alert is up. or is it because i'm soooooo poooor that i am forced to stomach my rock shoes because i have to use them as my pillow?
why?! tell me in God's name why?!

I would say a homeless person who climbs is headed more in the right direction than all of us sitting behind a computer screen. They are out there doing what they want and defying societies rules that say we must hold a steady job and have a house to survive. I would climb with them and give them their fill of alcohol so they would tell me all of their amazing stories about being on the road. If I didn't have kids to support I would quit my job and go climbing :D

Wow... 1 day away from 4 years... you know, like in this thread´s age... nice...
Sure, I might climb with a climbing bum if I thought they were trustworthy, just like anybody else.
