Five

Five

About 12 years ago a strange confluence of circumstances led me to the local climbing gym for the first time.  I had no idea at the time how much my life was about to change in so many amazing and unforeseen ways.  Looking back, I really can’t imagine what my life would be like had I never walked into the gym that day.

Likewise, it was five years ago to this exact date that I started this website with little forethought other than recognizing that I was obsessed with climbing, the internet and talking about climbing on the internet.  Much like when I walked into the gym way back in the day, I can’t really imagine what my life would be like had I never started down this road.

Despite my tenuous grasp on how to formulate coherent, grammatically correct sentences, this site has achieved some modicum of success, and I would like to thank everyone who has visited, commented or shared your support in other ways throughout the years.  Without your continued support there would be no reason for me to keep doing this.

The biggest thanks, however, goes to Mrs. Narc.  Her unending support as I spend hours and hours and hours of my time working on this site has been invaluable.

As for what the future holds, it’s hard to say.  I could do this for another month or another five years.  Who knows.  As long as I’m still having fun and as long as people are still psyched to visit I don’t see any reason to stop anytime soon.

    Congrats Mr. Narc! Your tenuous grasp of the English language in the written form and overly apparent obsession with climbing made me feel right at home when I discovered climbing and came down with the same fever.

    Keep it up buddy!

    I don’t know where I was five years ago today, but on this day for the last four years I’m sure I was on this website. Thanks for years of entertainment, insight and information. I can’t wait to see what’s next! Keep it up Narc!

    Congrats, Narc! It takes serious dedication to keep a blog running this long (and with such solid content). Please know how much I, and I’m sure, other readers appreciate your efforts.

    Cheers, mate!

    Narc I think this is the perfect opportunity to say thanks for running such a great website. Your level headed commentary and insights on the climbing world have made this site a go-to for the last five years.

    Yo Narc!
    From a long-time follower of this b-log, thanks for keeping an eye on the climbing world and keeping us well informed and most importantly, very psyched on this futile sport we are all so obsessed about!

    Nice milestone Narc, and way to go. Of course your life could change for the better again if you quit practicing on those little rocks and pick up a rack. 😉

    Cheers

      Funny you mention that. I did my first trad climb shortly after I started this site. I do my best to mix in some trad throughout the year, but I figure I have plenty of time to plug widgets once my fingers get crippled from bouldering.

    Congrats Narc! Can’t imagine either how I’d fill the non-climbing gaps in the day without your site! Hope we get at least another 5 years before Facebook buys you out and you make your fortune!

    You have a brilliant thing going here Narc! I’ve gained a lot of insight and motivation from all that you gather together for us each week. I’ve been hooked on the video Fridays since I first stumbled upon this blog. Keep doing what you’re doing, and thank you!!

    Your site has been entertaining and inspiring me for years. Video Fridays are like Christmas every week, and I love to hear what you have to say about ascents. You put things into context, say things that others won’t or can’t, and always something interesting to say about even inconsequential things that happen in the climbing world. I hope you keep it up for a long time.

    5 years ago I was a fat slob sitting at computer playing video games. Thanks to sites like this, those video games have been replaced with climbing videos!
