... if when other's borrow your zoology notes they think they mistaked them for a rock climbing comic strip.
.... if your dorm room wall is covered with pictures of rock climbers and cliffs
...if you've tried to climb more then half the buildings on campus
... if you have made a climbing route in the hallway of your dorm
... if your back round is different cliffs so you can day dream about climbing it instead of doing your homework

In reply to: You have thought to inquire as to whether or not REI has a wedding registry.
once again. Been there done that, didn't know they had one though. Wedding still a couple months off...
Or: you try to figure how you can have the wedding at the top of the local crag.

*You have to explain who the companies are of the t-shirts you wear to school everyday to your schoolmates.
*you have posters of Chris Sharma doing "the never ending story" in your room
*You have photo albums of your last climbing trip, but not your last family get-together or your girl-friend.
*This year's Christmas list is entirely comprised of new climbing gear

In reply to: You just might be a climber if....... you use old climbing rope and a vw buss for logging :roll: you sleep in the buss more nights than in the house 8)
Rofl, I have once used climbing gear to try and pull my VW bus out of the mud. Took a lot of time that could have been spent climbing/drinking/relaxing..and it didn't work anyway, so I bought a mean-ass syncro (= 4x4) VW bus to avoid getting stuck. Ever 8)

Your idea of camping is sleeping on your crashpad in the back of your Honda Oddessy after a good boulder session.
You live in Texas and talk about how many "Biners" you have and people think your a racist.
Your house has white chalk marks on the outside where your friends have identified builder problems.
Your neighbors question your motives for your new landscaping project when you cut down all your flowers and bushes to surround your house with pea gravel to dampen landings.
Your gym sees your car pull up and they lock the doors.
Youv'e served after school detention for climbing up building "A".
You intentionally throw your frisbee on top of tall structures.
Instead of doing your science lab, you try to send your latest "problem" under the lab tables.
You read 11 friggin pages on how to know if your a rock climber when your semester finals are tommorow.
Your sixteen and you have NO idea how to find your way through Austin Texas, but you know exactly how to get to Reimers, Mckiney, Arg, Greenbelt, Bull creek, E-rock, and your nearest R.E.I.
Your (non-climbing) girlfriend won't hold hands with you because you cut off her circulation.
You calmly remind yourself to be tolerant of outsiders when they ask you how you "got the rope up there."
People think your a druggie cuz you have white powder all over your clothes.
Your church pastor yells at you to get off the church roof.
Awesome thread.

True Stories (to show how sad my life really is):
You're making a climbing video in Joshua Tree and stop filming two naked women to check out the moves on a boulder problem.
You arrive at Stoney Point for a crank session, head to the North side away from the locals for some private time, and get pissed because Playboy is doing a shoot of the Swedish Bikini Team on your problems.

...when you start calling your gear "MY PRECIOUS" and you would live on raw fish in a cave as long as no one took it from us! don't we my precious?

... You recognize Jon Krakauer and Conrad Anker by only getting a quick glance of the bottom half of their faces underneath down parkas and behind glacier glasses as you are flipping through the channels - resulting in a two hour stint of gawking at PBS at 1 AM.... I did it last night :roll:
