Your warm-up routine starts in Dunkin Donuts. You say with all seriousness things like: "If these [8 foot] boulders were in [name a world class bouldering destination] people would be lining up for days." "If this were only [1000] feet longer it would be classic." You regard NH cops as an genuine objective hazard. You've been training for something bigger for 15 years. A 15 foot boulder is a wicked highball. You've actually climbed in Maine. (Acadia doesn't count.) Farley counts as a trip out west. You are definitely going to visit the Dacks this year. Or next. Probably.
(All of the above genuinely describe myself)

Your winter climbing season consists solely of complaining about crag dogs.

Thinking that 200 feet of static rope and 30 lockers are essential for a day of climbing in CT.

You've never bought anything but a Subaru. You truly believe your Subaru's all wheel drive is as good as truck.
