Just last night I had to climb up the dock doors to break loose a couple of cases that were stuck on our conveyor belt. The night supervisor said "hey you want a ladder?" pointing only a couple of feet away. I declined, hell I was almost there at that point. Lots of good holds but the dust made it tricky. Maybe I will start rating all the unknown climbs that are "in house". Anybody know how to rate a 20 ft dock door

i really do feel sorry for office people. your lives must suck.

That's hysterical!

here at work, i can walk around my building and find all sorts of things to climb... like this climbing wall thing in the middle of the building and our new treadwall. you have to be creative to figure out what's climbable in buildings, but i have a good eye for stuff.

there was an article in a recent edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education that talks about buildering on college campuses. Timmy Oneil is in it as well as some lesser folks.

so timmy oneill is a greater person than me?

Yes. Was that a trick question?

so long as i know. he was climbing right next to me on el cap last week. him, cedar wright, ammon mcneely and timmy's brother sean were climbing spacalito. sean is a paraplegic and had to do a metric shitload of pullups to get up it. pretty cool to watch.

Wow, that's really cool.

When nobody is around at work I do dead hangs off the door frame. It's crimpy. When I was two years old I climbed to the top of a 90ft pine tree. I quess it's in my blood.
