*if you skip clipping the tree because it's just not stylish*
*if you know the meaning of "benighted"*
*if your nice new camalot stopped functioning because of all the red mud in it*
*if you remember skipping Fortress and heading to Muscle Beach cause there was a single car at the pulloff*
There's a LOT more out there !!!

the balls to rap off of a nalgene? or is that plain foolishness? why do people get stupidity and "balls" mixed up? maybe plan better next time...especially if it was a one pitch route, I think I'll chose a different partner next time...

You know you'r a trad climber when:
Your favorite piece of gear is a 12' length of webbing. You still know how to stack it and could write a book on it's 101 uses. And your belay and rap device is one and the same wt no moving parts.

That is a reference to John Bronaugh. Anyone know the climb? I do.

Is anyone else burned out on trivia?
I know I am
not a trad climber because I don't know what the hell any of you are saying. I'm very proud of it too.

You get enjoyment out of hiking in a 65lb pack.

Or look up at all of the manky placements you have to clean from your frined who was nice enough to lead the climb for you.
