--Performing freaky Sex acts with our partners (using old ropes) -- climbing gear not just
for climbing any more

-- Pissing off bosses when we are buildering the building during our lunch hour

-- causing more lost productivity on the job - for surfing RC and other sites when we really should be working (like now)

Good for

Chasing squirrels/cats out of the yard...even if it is up a tree, across the roof and down the fence and hopefully it is all of that.

The not so fun part of crowd surfing at concerts.

For getting the battery out of that screaming smoke alarm, while everyone stands around and wonders how to shut it off.

LOL... story of my... er... current existence...

I'd even add: Lost productivity due to daydreaming about what it would be like to be 2 inches tall and free solo the door-jam in my office.

Duckbuster, you've still got it wrong...

It's either "a climber's goods" (singular) or "climbers' goods" (plural)... but who give a sh..?

Climbers are also good for taking crap from crusty ol' Dirtineye.

although I've never seen a contestant actually admit he/she was a climber, I think climbers would have a better than average chance at winning fear factor (I should elaborate a bit, this is probably only applicable to men because the female contestants tend to be selected based upon surgical enhancements and most climber women I know don't go for that unless they want to increase their resistance for HIT workouts).

We give encouragement in all aspects of life by screaming, "COME ON! YOU CAN DO IT!!" Everyone feels like a winner.

BTW, shouting "Alle'! Alle'!" in the bathroom is not generally well received. :?

glyroks: "speaking off, raleigh has a hockey team, by the way. and we won. the other guys didn't."

I'm sending 30,000 pissed off fans down there to microfracture your biners and spray deet on all your ropes.

PS...the "other team" was edmonton, yep, a place where ice is found not just in your freezer

ha ha ha... i got caught trying to move from a dead hang on the filing cabinet to the top of the door once. It's the dreaded "card file campus."
... luckily it wasn't my boss.. and since i worked in a hospital i could explain it away as "accident prevention therapy for my carpal tunnel"


oh.. and in regards to my punctuational misadventures: "BLAST!"

You could have had a lot more fun with it if you'd made some sort of rope bridge that you had to climb up the wall to get to...
