You live in Los Angeles, have white powder residue all over your clothes, and you're not a producer.
Your girlfriend lives on the sixth floor of her building and you keep forgetting her door code... on purpose.
You have had to get rings resized to accomidate "finger biceps" you didn't have before.
You surf the porn sights looking for women with long shoulder lines and ripped backs. :twisted:
You have considered taking your dog to obidience school so he'll stop wimpering when you go too high up.
You have thought to inquire as to whether or not REI has a wedding registry.

...saying "nice jugs" won't get you slapped.
...your climbing gear is the only stuff you own that is neatly put away, and organized.
...you mark your pens at work with colored tape.
...the scent of sweat, and chalk gets you excited.
...using harnesses, and rope with your significant other has nothing to do with BD.
...you've used a static line, and acsender to clean out your gutters.

...you have one of those "falling" dreams and on your way down you scope out the cliff to see if it will go.
...you seriously considered turning down Dartmouth to live with your parents forever and climb and then live off their inheritance when they die.
...you have memorized every move on every problem in every video you have (including the 1+ gig of vids from the internet).
...you are a 17 year old boy and instead of searching for porn at 1AM, you search for pictures of Gunks classics like the Buddah at 1AM.
...you just added a low start to your "Honda Oddysey" project (and it goes at around V4).
...you can scratch yourself with just your fingers, without using the nails at all.

...you've ever been banned from a theatre for climbing to the top of the marquie.
...you're willing to risk an arrest to climb a two-pitch hotel tower.
...you've regressed to chair bouldering in class because you can't just NOT CLIMB any longer.

You just might be a climber if.......
the ice on the inside of your fridge is impaled with an ice screw to hold the biner that is your bottle opener 8)
you have ever traversed the icicles on the eves of your house with ice tools and crampons :D (not recomended with vynal sideing)
you have ever rigged a top rope from the bell tower of your dads church :roll:
you have to lie to your girlfrind to cover up your soloing habbit instead of your crack habbit :shock:
you use old climbing rope and a vw buss for logging :roll:
you sleep in the buss more nights than in the house 8)
you climb more days a year than you work :D

....its ok to talk about sliding your hand up a greasy crack.
....food tastes better with chalk on it.
....your coffe cup at work has a sling attached with duct tape.
....its perfectly fine to hang out, half naked and in some sort of bondage gear, with a bunch of guys.
....you don't get in trouble for staring at someones butt for hours.

You'll convince a buddy to be your belay slut for the day and hike 4 miles with 40 pounds worth of chit in your pack to some cliff that doesn't exist cause you overheard a logger in a bar talking about this big thing back in the woods that he almost fell off.
also, you compete with your friends to see how many doors in your dorm you can drytool before you fall or tear the frame apart
or, whenever your boss asks you something that could possibly be related to a thread on this infernal site, you go into it in depth and make him realize what you're really doing at work all day

Sorry but here is another link, some of them have already been done but they have plent of lines only climber would laugh at.
http://www.gdargaud.net/...Climber.html#MightBe
You might be a climber if:
--Reading these makes you feel "normal".
--When you hear the word "Climax" refering to a point in a story you perk up thinking somone said "Climbmax" the local gym.
*guilty of both. :roll:

Your roommate stops commenting when you disappear while she's in the shower and don't come home for days at a time.
You spend three evenings cleaning the crap out from the storage place under the stairs so you can campus them.
You ask your dad if you can bolt your parents' sandstone fireplace.
A good Saturday night is spent climbing the side of a house with ice axes and then traversing the stones inset in the swimming pool.
Not only is your Nalgene scratched and covered in climbing stickers, but the stickers are so sun-bleached that you can't tell what they say.
It doesn't make sense to unpack your car, because you're just going to go on another climbing trip soon...

"...You have ever clipped a 3 ounce set of keys to your belt with a 25 kn. carabiner"
This one probably means you aren't a climber... But you did make a little trip to REI. haha
