you read all 19 pages of this while listening to your "sending music" grab your girlfriends ass, smirk at her and say "hey nice sloper" go to whistler for a mountain biking weekend and start bitching about not bringing your climbing gear before you've even gotten to squamish spend an eveing trying to figure out how to con your friends out of their racks so you have enough gear to go solo aid for the weekend. all your dishes are dirty but your titanium spork and aluminum bowl are clean/ready for the next trip.

In reply to: When you give clients short appointments if they complain that there is only R & I to read in the waiting room. And then give free extra time to those that compliment you on your choice of magz. When clients would rather talk about climbing than their medical condition Yesterday I was in a waiting room, and there was nothing by 'womens weekly" and "property invester" I was wishing for R&I....

- You won't date men that don't climb. - You've bouldered at 1am by lantern light in Maine because that's when low tide happened that day. - You're partner can always manage to hitch a ride off of Cathedral by explaining, "How the rope got up there," or,"How those little metal things work," to the tourists. - You won a bottle of wine from your boss because he didn't think you could do 10 pull ups on his office door frame. - Stilleto heels are waaaaaay more comfortable than your climbing shoes - You've epoxied pebbles to your basement walls just to test out new shoes - You went to Vegas for a ladies drinking weekend and didn't see your friends the whole time because you ditched them to go to Red Rocks. - You can vouch for the fact that your gym manager's chimney goes at V1 - You stem your pantry because your too short to reach the camp-food shelf - Your broken big toes conveniently healed such that they fit your climbing shoes much better (not me... Eric) - You've gone several weeks showering only under waterfalls.

when you take a break from doing homework you put on your climbing shoes and try to boulder the cracks between the cinderblocks in your dorm room.

You might be an aid-climber if: Your keychain is a broken copperhead. You might be a climber if: 75% of the emails in your inbox are from your climbing buddies (and you don't erase them because they might have useful beta). Your (non-climbing) social life is dependent on bad weather.

...your safe driving skills go out the window with any rock bigger than a fridge along the side of the road (who knows, there could be more) ...you are fine with chalk as a condiment at lunch ...your keychain always contains something old from your rack ...you always are in NEED of gear (whether true or not) ...your hands generally look like you have been bare knuckle brawling at the pub (continuely from March to October)

... in some of your spare time you (and your climbing partner) change the lyrics of songs (Tom Petty is good for this) so that they have something to do with climbing. May I recommend "Free Falling" ? ... some burly guy in a business meeting tries to crush your hand while shaking it, and you just casually smile as you clamp down. ... you tell work you're doing a marketing event and buy a table at a local climbing competition, not because you're a gear vendor [you're a financial planner], but because you want an excuse to skip work and watch the comp. ... you get "creative" around the holidays in order to give neat gifts while still having enough to buy gear. ... you hang your stocking with a locker, just in case "Santa" finally decides to bring you that portaledge.

Your wife buys you some 7mm static cord for Xmas, and you sit and play with prusiks all night while she watches TV.

Not at work, but at Boy Scout events. Bunch of macho dads trying to give crushing handshakes. Firm? good. Crushing? don't know what you're in for.

-you don't need any more trad gear, so you say that you are going to take up aid just to get more gear for Christmas. -you don't want to visit the in-laws just because they moved to Florida. -you only see your non-climbing friends during the winter

... you want to post a reply but don't have enough time to come up with a something witty (your friends are in the car honking the horn because they want to leave for the crags).

When you pick up a heavy object, you extend your opposite arm to counterbalance When you are in a foreign country and see an attractive female, you say, I think I know you-are you a rock cilmber-and she is! (happened last month in Buenos Aires)
