 In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs.    Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.  <br /> <br />The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.  <br /> <br />After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning  mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been  tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only "orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs.  The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. <br />

I do it for the glory, the machismo, unsupported by bottled oxygen; it's just me and the bolt ladder

Otherwise, rocks are stupid, throw girls at them

Bouldering Poudre Canyon, Colorado

For me, it's the excitement that there might be something really cool up there, like a pot of gold or a burrito... yeah, it's that hope that I might be only 90 vertical feet from a burrito that keeps me going.

Burrito cracked me up!!! For me I climb for the sponsorships and a chance at a movie deal for Cliffhanger II.

I love Tallulah Gorge

It's cheaper than auto racing, and not as dangerous as bullfighting

I like the choices that are made, none of them trivial, even on the "trivial climbs". I like the movement and the puzzle of a good climb.

Exactly.

Unlocking the solution, be it a sequence on a boulder problem or the correct route on a long multi-pitch. The anxiety of the uncertainty on the way. The satisfaction of the small victory that each success represents.

I was going to type out a long list, but decided they all came back to one thing - the adrenaline rush.
