if you just moved to Bishop, CA and took a minimum wage job and are now renting a small house that's almost exactly halfway between the buttermilks and the volcanic tablelands.
if you have enuf climbing mags to kill a german shepard if they were to be dropped on its spine from a considerable height.
if you enjoy drinking beer, but always say that you are gonna cut back because it is giving you a fat gut.

if you hang from the rafters of your garage/house/barn for hours in your harness just for fun.....
if your keyboard has chalk all over it...
if all the light switches in your house look like theve been finger printed...

you know what a slackline is..
you have light blue or white boogers..
a campus has nothing to do with academics..
you "belay" every day but haven't "been laid" in months..
you've acquired a taste for cliff bars and red bull..

the best use of google earth you can think of is for scouring your local hills for new bouldering and slacklining spots...

... if you ever built a home bouldering wall even though you only live half an hour away from a world class climbing area, so you could climb three times a day rather than three times a week.

all true...
You DID register at Rei for your wedding.
you changed your credit card to rei to get more gear
your sick and tired of people trying to out grip you when you shake hands...ho hum...
you talk like you expect everyone to know what you mean when you mention the 5 or v scale.
you're more proud of your wife for being able to campus than for her graduating college.
you realize you have cuts on your arms and legs only after the adrenaline wears off.
did the ramen and frozen pizza diet for years just to afford trips to the local climbing gym and gear for weekend trips.
Gaston isn't just your annoying french neighbor.
You've been defeated when trying to convince wife to name children climbing terms.
You've lost enough sets of nail clippers to supply India.
You frequent the local crag enough that the dusted and cut hands are no mystery to your waitress.
You've considered exchanging the door handles on your beater for climbing holds.
You almost cried when you found out there wont be a PBB this year
read all 14 pages and enjoyed every minute of it, wish i could say the same about my job.

In reply to: ...you've considered a job as a window washer on a sky-scraper just so you can get paid to "practice"
-when your sick boyfriend looks at you and your second* (first is, of course, hoping he's okay) thought is "Shit, now I gotta find someone else for belay!"
-you dream in 5.10b's
-you climb the walls at work until your boss gets sick of you and sends you home (so you can go climb!!! Hey, at least she didn't fire me!)
-your car has a 2 ft. sticker of the Mammut logo on the HOOD (hey man, you can always find it in the parking lot)
-you don't day dream of beaches and long walks, you day-dream of cliff faces and multi-pitches

...you associate bongs with crack, not weed.
...you know that well wasted time on this site dosent make you a climber. (I still spend about 10 hours a week here.)
...you know that REI is not a good climbing store, even though your girlfriend works there.
...your girlfriend is more interested in your rack than you are in her bust size.
...your pissed that Ice Climbing and Rock climbing are not Olympic sports, but at the same time you are kind of glad that they are not. Even though those god awful anouncers would proably explain to the masses the ever annoying question of "how did you get the rope up there."
...your faviorte boulder problem is the one into your second stroy apartment when you forget your keys, or the one your girlfriend does when she is surprising you.
...a mantle has nothing to do with a fireplace unless you are climbing one.
...you have a strong emotional connection to geological features like the valley, the creek, and the george.

You've built an unfavorable relationship with the goons at your local climbing gym, because you keep harrassing the course setters about new bouldering problems you came up with at 2am the night before while watching bouldering videos.

...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.
except I'm 18 and I'm asleep by 12:30. haha
and
...your pissed that Ice Climbing and Rock climbing are not Olympic sports, but at the same time you are kind of glad that they are not. Even though those god awful anouncers would proably explain to the masses the ever annoying question of "how did you get the rope up there."

... after hearing the phrase "five ten" you first think of a grade, then a shoe company, and you then need to remind yourself that those numbers together also refers to tell time when you over here the Grocery clerk say that to a little old laddy. Grandma climbs five ten, what???
...you can wear Marmont and not get attacked by that croud of angry animal rights protestors.
...when you here 'C-4' and first you think of a type of cam, then an aid grad, then a type of rubber, and lastly an explosive. Sorry if this one was a little redundant. I think that has already been touched.
