Wonder if I can cut down the trainning process if I learn to tie a bowline while benching pressing.

Bouldering: This method consists of climbing small boulders without any equipment. Basically, it's like hiking with some obstacles thrown in.

Well. that's a pretty big kick in the nuts for men...it completely turns down the known-fact that men are always right. Sad day.

Classic. I love it.

now I know where all the noobs get the word 'grips' from. They are always in the gym talking about the 'pink grip' or the 'big green grip' and I always have to laugh.... Holds people!! HOLDS!!!

If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?

I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

A gripping thread to hold your attention...

A perfect example of how one toprope course can make someone an expert in their own mind.

“it's only a matter of time before you can be like Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger.”

A quick test to tell if someone you have just met is really a climber: Ask them if Cliffhanger was a drama or a comity.
There are a couple other moves you can substitute when testing the younger crowd.

Hey, maybe people could get exempted from the first 3 or 4 stages of the climbing safety course if they can prove that they'd studied this article. All those in favor say nothing at all........Motion passed
