Why climb? That all depends on who or what is climbing what and under what circumstances...
Monkeys climb trees as an act of survival, and to sit up there and fling (stuff) at humans passing by through the jungle.
Lizards climb brick walls in the morning sun to warm their little reptilian bodies up.
Bears climb trees to get to the beehive and thus commandeer some tasty honey.
The stock market line thingy climbs the little graph thingy because the general public’s demand for a product or service has increased.
Spiderman climbs buildings to save Kirsten Dunst from the scary goblin guy.
Firemen climb ladders to save people on the upper floors of tall buildings from the flames.
Cats climb trees to get away from dogs.
Dogs climb trees to get cats. Ha!...dogs don’t climb trees! Gotcha.
Pirates climb into the crow’s nest at the top of the mast to scope out potential victims of pillaging and to keep a look out for to be prepared to flee from other bigger pirate ships that may pillage them because they’re smaller.
Some people climb stairs to get to the next floor, whilst others lacking the thrill of quirky ambition take the escalator or elevator when available.
Athletes systematically climb up and back down and back up bleachers as a sick and twisted form of exercise.
Jack climbed that beanstalk purely out of curiosity.
Somebody’s got to climb those banana and coconut trees or we’ll never get any yummy bananas or coconuts.
People climb into bed to go to sleep because they’re tired. Or bored. Or depressed. Or all three. Recreational napping is an excellent pastime in many people’s opinions.
Some business men and women climb the corporate latter because of a superficial sense of accomplishment generated through the continual accrual of more and more material things and supposed influence and power in a highly competitive rat-race. Some business men and women do essentially the same thing BUT with the higher (in my opinion), more noble and fulfilling, worthy purpose of supporting a family.
Some ’’climb up the walls’’ because they are going crazy in the ’’I’m bored’’ sense or in the ’’I’m loco’’ sense.
Nacho, the professional wrestler (played by Jack Black), climbed the cliff face to reach the eagle eggs, eat their nutrients, and thus assimilate their magical eagle powers, making him capable of jumping incredibly long distances to tackle other people in the most hilarious of all hilarious super-imposed scenes of the cinema. A must see.
Kids, and some adults, climb trees just because. Such people with such motives have a good grasp on life in my opinion, and as a result, perhaps they possess the secret to longevity.
King Kong climbed a sky scraper because he saw a pretty little lady at the top. His downfall? No safety precautions. Let that be a lesson to us all: don’t climb stupidly to impress the ladies. In fact, in order to preserve the non-complicated nature of our beloved sport, let’s just keep the ladies out of our sanctuary of care-free climbing. UNLESS they happen to be climber chicks. Climber chicks are WAY hot. I love you, climber chicks. You get a 5.10 in my book! Guys, respect the ladies!
Well, I guess that’s all I can think of. Oh ya! Duh, one more. We rock-climbers climb because it’s FUN!
