Are you talking about your boner problems?

Scew anyone with scratched up cams. Blows my mind how anybody could be that irresponsible with their expensive gear. 

Slacklining is a great way to improve your climbing.

Also, I haven't I've climbed before, but seriously how fucking hard can it be? Most of the ice climbs in the Rockies could be done by a determined toddler in crocs with microspikes.

The midwest is a great place for climbers to live.  There's at least 50 crags within a 12 hour drive.

Real climbers live on the east coast where you have at least 15ft between bolts.

Aid climbing is more similar to hiking than actual rock climbing

Not enough climbers realize it, but most chalk is actually just "used" for psychological aid.  Most climbers' hands aren't actually that sweaty that often.

Rick Astley is Aleks Zebastian.

Miguel's pizza is actually good and not just after a day of hard climbing.

Trad climbing is harder for the grade and Devil’s Lake is sandbagged as hell.  Intentionally.

Pies and Pints is better than Miguel's.  

In fact, the New is better than the Red.

Climbing is awesome, it's all the climbers that suck!

If you attempt something that gear manufacturer did not endorse fully, You Are Going To Die!

 Valentine's Day is on ash Wednesday and Easter is on April Fools this year,  there is going to be a lot of confused Catholics

Climbers from midwestern cities who can only talk about one, obviously stuck in the past crag have all the answers to your nuanced gear questions. Especially when it comes to shoes.

You should always toprope through the anchors because that's what they are there for. Throw a couple of bucks in the donation box of the local climb shop if you feel bad about it (you shouldn't).

If Matt Samet says it, it must be true!

Wearing Solutions aren't gonna do nothin' for your V3 proj, but they sure do boost your self image, huh?
