Although I’m a gentleman and you’re a lady, you will be carrying either the rope, or the rack. Take the tent, or the stove and fuel and pots. If I am cooking us dinner over a camp stove, you are setting up the tent, or vice versa. Right?

Right.

Since I’m about to go over 4,000 adoring fans on The Facebook¹ any day now, it seems like now is as good a time as any to try to unload some of these ClimbingNarc.com stickers I had made…8 months ago.  I have limited quantities, so fill out this form with your info and I’ll get them out to as many people as I can.

Whoa.  Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response.  I’ll try to get through the requests I have and see how many stickers, if any, I have left.  If you placed a request and you live somewhere outside the U.S. I’ll try my best to your stickers to you, but no promises.  That’s my bad for not specifying in the first place so I’ll see what I can do.

I also have a limited number of ClimbingNarc.com T-Shirts remaining.  They will be $15 with shipping to the continental U.S. included at no charge.  I have 5 4 Smalls and 3 2 1 Large left so when they’re gone they’re gone!  Shoot me an email if you’d like one!

Thanks, as always, to everyone for all the support over the years!

The Couch Crusher can hardly be bothered to get up… unless it’s time to take a dump on your project.

It’s been a tough morning for the ole Narc.  I woke up to taunting texts from a friend¹ who got off the couch and climbed a problem I failed on over the weekend.  This comes on the heels of  Justin Roth’s list of 10 climbing personality types which includes not only the “Couch Crusher” described above but also a few unflattering personality types that hit a bit too close to home for yours truly.  Ouch.
