Just curious as to the typical experience level of the posters on here. I realize this poll only encompasses a small part of what constitutes "experience"...but how long have you been climbing OUTSIDE?

That's kind of funny that you posted this thread today... exactly 3 years ago today was when I started climbing! (I know, I'm a freak... I have this thing about remembering dates...) But I voted before I read your post-- I've only been climbing outside for 2 years... I started off as a gym rat.

Spring of '94 when I started outside...had a relapse to the gym for a couple of years with only occasional outside climbing...been climbing consistently outside for at least 6 or 7 years I guess...I know a little about a lot of climbing, but I'll never admit to knowing a lot about anything in particular (even if I do!).

I'm pretty sure this is year 4.

3 years this season...but an old traddie took me out when I was young and showed me. It took me awhile to come back to it...
