You might be addicted to climbing if...

Post by Redpoint »

I thought this might be a fun topic. I will start off with some that have actually happened to me:

You might be addicted to climbing if:

you can't help but use climbing terms to gumbies at the gym and you use so many that they end up having no idea what you are talking about.

you are biking and stop to climb a roadcut only to have a police officer honk his horn and then proceed to turn around to make sure you comply.

you are having a dream about climbing and you get so psyched you wake up and find yourself climbing a 5 foot tall stack off pillows in a guest bedroom.

As far as I can tell you still are a gumby Redpoint. This thread only reinforces that.

you catch yourself chalking up before sex

you sleep on a crashpad

couches for some reason feel more like home

your hands sweat when other talk climbing

you have umpteen thousand hold brushes and still can't find your actual toothbrush

You force your wife and visiting relatives to celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday because climb, rest, climb, climb is the optimal way to spend a 4 day weekend. Unless it rains, then everyone watches crappy football games downstairs while you stew in your room.

you don't understand how some people can actually enjoy their lives without wasting an entire weekend driving hundreds of miles and being bad stewards of mother earth.
