- When you realize the summer is almost over and you haven't been to the beach once. And you live in a city with near two dozens of them.
- When you consider becoming a naturist cause the nude's beach has some killer boulders.

Reason #1,102 it sucks I don't live in Brazil: Climbing chicks most often shower in waterfalls there
Reason #1,103 it sucks I don't live in Brazil: the affordability of brazil nuts
Reason #1,104 it sucks I don't...

When you migrate out of the mountains to low lying boulders where you can continue to boulder all winter in the sun, even though you should have stayed in the mountains and enjoyed the change of season and ripped on a snowboard

True Story: I was able to pick out my son’s racketball racket by the fact that the shoe string at the end of the handle was tied with a double fisherman’s.
Yes, I have ropes for practicing knots by the john.

Your fire escape from your ninth story apartment is a repel off the balcony.
You have stayed in during a fire alarm just in case you might get a chance
You have dropped your rope out the window to check if you need to double it or not
You open Pulling doors with one finger, becuase it might help with the mono strength
Your favorite climbing spot is visable from your ninth story apartment, and you actively check there daily to see if there is a belay available

... when your dry, chalky, cracked hands start to resemble that route you sent last weekend... (ah.. that's where I put my #2)
... when you grab some electrical tape out of the tool box and start taping your chimney in the backyard. (true story...)
... everywhere you go your fingertips are always black from fondling just about every projection in sight... (that's why no one wants to shake my hands...)
... you won't buy any clothes unless they are practical for climbing as well...
... you've been reading RC.com for the last hour and a half while you should be practicing your speech.....

...when you feel obligated to make a redundant post about how redundant it is to post that it's obsessive to create a thread about being obsessed with rockclimbing.
...when you buy a Powerlung Sport to aid in your climbing and swimming conditioning (handy for commuting,) get long-winded in person, unconsciously allow it to carry over to the internet, type much more than is necessary, and take enough time doing so to realize that you're doing it and then write even more about that.

You've seriously considered putting an optical mouse inside a plastic gym hold. Bonus points for anyone who's actually done it. Double bonus points if you claimed it was more 'ergonomic.'

When your friends are getting annoyed at your incessant ramblings for over 3 months about your upcoming month long vacation to Hueco Tanks. AAYYYIIIEEEYYYEEEEEEEEE!!!! eleven111.
When you pack stuff on your motorcycle (sport bike) even tho your not taking a trip, just to see how much more stuff you can fit for next time.
When going to the crag sounds more appealing than going to a pool party with many bikini clad females. (and Im single, by choice).
When all of your plans for future vacations change into climbing vacations instead of stupid ones.

- when you just flashed that last double black mogul section
- when someone asks you how your midterm went and you tell them "i'd say it was at least 5.13d... didn't go so well"

Im single now, but I was in a relationship for the past 4 years and just enjoying my single life with no obligations.
What would be your motivation to going to this party? Sex? Eye candy? "socializing"? If I were to go, I might end up dating again which would kill my climbing life.
Id rather climb.

You know you're obsessed when
Your girlfriend constantly steers from the passenger seat whenever you drive by mountains or rocks.
You need your daily climbing fix, even if you have to climb the doors in your house.
You walk into a bar and pay more attention to the walls then the women.
You are at the gym at least 15 minutes before its open on a regular basis.
You have asked the gym owner for special 24 hour access.
Your second date was to the local crags.
You are afraid of low places.
You keep a bag of chalk in your car, just in case.
