Are you in climbing shape?

First nice days, and spring may be around the corner. Do you feel ready?

No question. I'm overprepared...

Ha...I've been at the Red or the gym every weekend since the 1st of Jan. and I'm still a chuffer

Let's see, what can I blame this one on?

I'm old, I've climbed 3 times in 3 and a half years up until the 1sts of the year, I developed a love affair for good wine and italian food, at work I spend more time babysitting than actually building anything, the sky is the wrong shade of blue, gravity is more powerful than it used to be, so on and so forth...
oh yeah and there's no climbing gym in Lex.

I sure wish somebody...not to mention any names...would call my company about building a place so they could open a gym

What is "climbing shape"?

I'm old,
I'm older!
I've climbed 3 times in 3 and a half years up until the 1sts of the year,
Next to last time I climbed, 1.5 years ago, I blacked out. Hung three times on a 30 foot climb in December. Thank you, Yasi for your patience!
I developed a love affair for good wine and italian food,
Gone vegetarian and organic and pretty much no alcohol. Miss the wine!
at work I spend more time babysitting than actually building anything,
I work all the time,
the sky is the wrong shade of blue, gravity is more powerful than it used to be, so on and so forth...
Ditto, ditto, so on and so forth...
oh yeah and there's no climbing gym in Lex.
I have cliff lines very near me, and a climbing wall in my garage.

I feel your pain, Al, and I thank you for validating my excuses! I do believe ynot is right; "it's a pyramid scam!"

Definitely not ready, but definitely working on it!

All you folks who have offered me climbing days....GET READY!

Oh! And you are not now, nor have you ever been a chuffer!
