Is Ro Shampo really a 12?

I will make one more analogy then I will drop the subject. It's not that I don't enjoy a good intelligent discussion, it's just that opinion wars can only drag out so far. It's like debating politics and religion. My final word is this. To me, climbing is an individual sport. I am happiest when I am crying blood trying my hardest to better myself at something. For anyone out there who has ever lifted weights (consistently, not as a hit or miss type deal, but not in training for a specific sport...eg., bodybuilding, football... either)...What would you have said if someone had come up to you and told you "Hey man, why do you want to keep trying to bench press more? You already bench XXX pounds, why not just lift for the enjoyment of it instead of chasing numbers?"

I guess if you think climbing is like weight lifting, then numbers is indeed all there is.

(By the way, I think my penis is bigger than yours)

Climbing is climbing, that's all that really matters. It's like arguing about Coke or Pepsi, there is not right answer for everyone.

Yea, there's a right answer.
Just climb every damn piece of rock that's put in front of your face!
Wide cracks, thin cracks, crimps, slopers, boulders,slabs, pumpfests....ROCK!
Climbers only limit their abilities by choosing a single type of climbing.

So which is better... Moutain Dew or Ale 8? I appreciate the local flavor, but I was raised on good ole Mountain Dew. When I was 4 and was living with my grandparents, I'd cross the street with my grandpa and visit the fire station where they had a pop machine that you lifted the lid and slid the bottles along metal rails and try not to drop them before you got them out. He'd give me a dime for a bottle that had a picture of a hillbilly with a cork flying out of a bottle through his hat with a slogan "Yahoo, Moutain Dew! It'll tickle yer innards!" It had quite an effect on me.

Oh, Mountain Dew kick's Ale 8's ass except when the moon is full and Daylight Savings Time is in effect.

Mountain Dew all the way. I really don't understand the fascination with Ale-8.

T's a long time addict of the Dew. It beats snorting coffee grinds for a buzz.
