Fuckin Christ this is good... How about wearing glacier glasses as sunglasses ALL THE TIME. You never know when you'll have to make that quick flash of Starshine mid-summer. That thing comes in at weird times. |

You scrubbed so much lichen of a climb, the base gets much higher. |
|
The first time you bag a peak out west you compare the trail to the carriage road at the bottom of the Trapps. |

So addicted to Eastern forums that "RR" brings to mind Ranger Rob instead of Royal Robbins |

Perpetually trying to picture em if they were tall enough to ride the same roller coaster as the west coast kids... Pound Crack, V1 boulder "...Start on the obvious holds in the crack, use the block for feet and motor through the low crux to the jug, and a few hand jams later you'll be wishing that it went on for 100+ more feet and you had a rope on." Space Shuttle, 5.9 finger crack "...enjoy sweet laybacking and finger-locking up the corner and if you close your eyes and dream you might believe its a hundred feet long but when you open your eyes the sweet section is still about 25 feet long." Fucking the Dog, 5.10d face "If this route could only continue for another 100 feet!! In just 50 short feet, this route packs a collective punch... It is very easy to become addicted to this route's exquisite flow!" |

Half your gear is chouirnard and the slings are original |

A climb isn't complete if it doesn't go to the top of the cliff (walk off descent is mandatory) |

You know how to climb because you learned it in the boy scouts. |

"You have worn crampons to do a steep , leaf covered approach" |

When you're topping out an ice climb you're looking for moss patches for that crucial solid stick. |
