Firstly that safe stuff keeps me out of hospital so I will always take that seriosuly. But does that mean I can’t have fun? I climb in the gym to train so I can achieve more and be satisfied with myself when I climb outside. Truth be told I probably talk more at the gym than I climb! And climbing is always fun, even on bad nights where you get humbled by that 18 you do every other night, it’s always enjoyable, otherwise we wouldn’t do it!!
Anyway, I’m not one of these guys that try and do the hardest climbs with my t-shirt off so all the “girlies” will look at me. They piss me off the most! I climb because my very being tells me I have to and not because I can’t think of anywhere else to pick up women. I wear a singlet ’cause t-shirts make me hot and some ratty shorts. Whether I climb outside or in, I always wear what’s practical, not what I think will get women to perv at me.
I’m guessing you climb at the Rockface don’t you?
Oh, one last thing to the ‘bored climber’ at the top. This the kind of stuff you’re after?? 🙂
