It's ok though to make fun of the guys in the latest picture for Flutterby Blue because gumby or no gumby - whether they know anything about climbing or not - the one dude still has his face in the other dude's ass.
It doesn't have anything to do with not knowing about climbing. It has to do with not sticking your head up someone's ass.

sounds like toad is trying to score with one of the hot chicks that come to the crags with the gumballs...and if we run off the gumby posse, he'll lose the score. i got yer back toad....
and remember gumby isn't a 'how long ya been climbing" question...you must be a gumby for not even knowing that....

Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
holy fuckin shit! my stomach hurts from laughing so hard reading this stuff! i'm so happy that i can now start calling everyone, including myself, gumballs instead of gumbies! just when i thought there were no more interesting words or phrases for me to say!
may the fourth be with you! (a little out of date, but what the hell)

efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening
The first time I ever hear the term gumby was at the New circa 1994.,,the height of my gumbiness. The outfitter in Fayetteville use to sell t-shirts that had a picture of the actual cartoon 'gumby' taking a crap on a trail and below the pic it said don't be a gumby.
People shitting on the trail use to be a problem at the new - it was blamed mostly on chics who were afraid to go off the trail for fear of snakes.

At the red I rarely wear my harness before I get to the crag base simply because there aren't many routes that won't allow me to hump my back in....that and being anal that I am I had already packed the night before...the hell I am diggin through that shit until I get to the base. Now, at seneca most people (gumby or not) rack up in the parking lot and carry the rope on their back, which I found out works quite nicely there.
So to each his own I guess....lets just go climbing.
