that's why I like my short term memory, I can hear or read all the beta in the world and by the time I get to the climb I have forgotten it all. It even works for some of the routes I have climbed. Sometimes it is a curse though.

I just love when people spray about routes at super top secret areas. Makes me feel all warm and tingly and inferior all at the same time.

Hey guys, I'm not a sport climber but I do know where all these little choss crags are and I'm gonna come steal all your draws.

With a stick clip, or maybe I'd just hike up on top, rappel down and super glue all the gates on all the draws just for fun.
