Oh! Also read a book called Preface for History by Gustavson which categorizes and discusses several social forces in history and also several misconceptions and false ideas about history.

Piggie: Yeah, I really believe that. Ain't it grand!
Anticlimber: I feel honored to have assisted in screwing you up. Truthfully though, I feel honored to call you friend and to love you.

Like a page out of Gibran's Prophet, or a few lines of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Truly wonderful!

I really believe it as well. I could give a list of freaky things that I have personally experienced that are all waaaayyyy too freaky to explain. There is definitely something after you die.

Something else I learned is that there are many skilled and safe belayers out there, which expanded my realm of climbing partners. For awhile, I couldn't let anyone belay me except Team Suck (and at that, only a few of them). They're still the most professional, but others come close.

Anticlimber: We've been trying just as hard to get rid of you too. But dont worry we won't give up. As for the climbing is fun even if it isn't "hard" don't bullshit yourself, don't make excuses for giving up, just admit it and embrace it. It's much easier that way
Cheers!!

I'm intrigued.
How do you apply this to your experiences climbing?

Doesn't have anything to do with climbing. The subject line is "what I learned in 05", not "what I learned about climbing in 05."

This past year has had 2 moments for me that lead me to believe I'm not a lost cause yet.
...Any one else have distinct moments they'd like to share?

Observation re: subject line noted.
Please feel free to read more than a subject line.
