I can’t wait to throw on that hat and shirt so that I can be stylin’ while I enjoy a cup of joe and a festive bar. That portable toilet sure will come in handy because you never know when the terror of coffee and fiber will strike. Thank god I’ll have some reading material because it might take a while. Luckily that carabiner will keep my keys from falling out of my pocket while I’m squatin’.

I have realized that a person cannot try to hold onto life when all that makes them do is let go. I have recently let go! Climbing reminds me of what it is to be free and caught up where time doesn’t exist . I know this is almost the last day to comment, but man those cliff bars look yummy haha.

I could use those free goodies when I travel to Malta next month to check out the climbing there. I can’t wait to check out the routes!!

Not a bad way to spend the Christmas Holidays for someone who is 51. Climb on Women!

ON MY MIND: I have lived in Florida almost my entire life and have been addicted to climbing for several years. I was a member of the local climbing gym going five days a week or more (even when I was too sore to climb I still went to show support and belay). My co-workers and I spent a lot of money taking climbing trips (no rockclimbing in Florida). Now I live in Colombia amongst the mountains but I have only gone climbing four times since January. What the hell is wrong with me? A few years ago I had dreamed of living amongst the mountains so that I could climb some real rock more often; now I live here and I am not taking advantage to the situation! Maybe some Access Fund gear will help me get out of this rut!

Chris sharma’s been climbing for more than a couple decades, but he’s only improved like a quarter degrees ( from 14.d to 15.a ) , I wonder if this is almost the most a human being is able to climb …

For some reason, if you have two coprime ideals, any two powers of those ideals will still be coprime. But I’m having trouble proving this. So that’s what I woke up thinking about today, and I’m still thinking about it.

recovering from broken ankle, perusing climbing mags and watching climbing videos. Awaiting the time when hands and feet can touch rock once again. For now only send is a climb up 3 flights of stairs.

My wife and I just had a our first child. Henry is a killer little guy but the reality of him means I’m not going on a bouldering trip any time soon. All I’ve got to tide me over is reading climbing mags, coming to this site and trying not to buy a bunch of gear online. So maybe winning this will help me from ripping my hair out.

Re: climbing. What’s on my mind is people who talk way more than is helpful to anyone and climb far less than is logical (until it hurts of course). Climbing is not about the best, the hardest, the longest or the strongest. For me anyway, climbing is about being obsessed with an awesome sport and wanting nothing more than to be continually improving and sending harder (whatever hard may be for you). A track coach once said, “talk slow, run fast.” I think a climber would echo this thought, “climb hard, speak softly.”

On my mind right now:

“How to complete my basement bouldering wall in time so that my 3 year old daughter can try it out on her birthday in a couple of weeks!”

The other day I was thinking about the efficacy of a blown-gun propelled syringe of adrenaline or super oxegenated blood (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2006-11/better-blood) at the crux of a route.

Ethics?

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both”
– Thanks little brother for this amazing quote-

What’s on my mind is: will shaving all my body hair off my make me climb better? Would my friends think this is weird? Would I care if I climbed two grades harder?

Just one of my many thoughts.
