you never offer to drive, cause your SUV might get muddy, scratched, smoked in, or otherwise used for the purpose it was intended.

......you're climbing a moderate sport route with brand new cams hanging off your harness "just in case".
......you talk loudly at the crag about how good your Arc'Teryx pack is even though all your friends carried the gear.
.....you have a GPS unit at a sport crag.......

.....your dog is named 'Petzl', 'Royal', 'teton','Khumbu' or 'Hillary' and you feel you are ready to hit your first wall as you now have 3 years of 'indoor rock' under your belt ( that is, your TNF belt- with matching TNF shirt, TNF jacket and TNF sticker on your overpriced overyhyped SUV)

Latte and power gels over straight black and candy.
You own the guidebook. Additionally, you brought it. And so did your climbing partner.
Rope flaked out onto fold-out ropebag.
Digital camera. (Probably SLR.)
Stick-clip.
Crash pad(s).
Two-way radios.
First-aid kit.
Organic fruit of at least two varieties.
Sandals made by a climbing company.

your keys hang out on a biner. but not just any biner. a full stregnth biner, cuase your yuppie keys are too good for a key chain biner. and not just any full strenght biner. but a petzl amd ball lock that you bought just to hold your keys cuase your keys are too good for a biner that god forbid has actually been used for its purpose.
you bought a new set of cams cuase you scratched one placing it.

Hahahahaa, this is hilarious. Though I don't think me havng a first aid kit makes me a yuppy. :)
Here's my long list:
Any North Face
Gym climbing only
"Leading scares me"
shorts with expensive/any hiking boots.
no beer at the campfire(this is just a travesty)
Anybody who pays 4 dollars for a coffee at starbucks.
I hate to agree b/c my partner has one and I love him, but stick clips are gaaaayyyy.
Yuppies who call other yuppies "posers".
People who really think not being a yuppy is super important. The point is you are either a yuppy or you aren't, there's nothing you can do about it though. :lol:
I don't have time for any more...must...get...back...to...scum..m-u-n-i-t-y.

You think there's something wrong with rigid Friends.
You've used the term "awfulwidth"
You climb 5.12 at the gym and are hoping to get on some good 5.9 "trad climbs" this year.
You think there is such a thing as a "sport rack"
You believe a downturned toe and tight shoes help (Ok, it might, for less than .05% of all climbers, and only on very specific routes).
You go cragging with a mini haul bag

Okay, this one is ridiculous...ever climb limestone???
Then again, maybe I just like having my feet snug, but there is no valid argument that says snug shoes DON'T increase your edging power at least a little bit.

*snack on organic dried papaya
*consider trad. climbing "Slumming"
*Simultaneously wear >2 climbing specific articles of clothing
*Drop a #4 Camalot and don't even bother to look for it
*Carry one of those rope slings to drape your rope on
*Bought an A4 port-a-ledge "just in case" for your Gunks trip
*Bought those Link Cams
*Threw away your climbing shoes, because they're yellow (purple is in this season)
*Carry cell phone (just in case) on top rope climbs
*Tell your belayer to hold you, because you have to stop & call your broker
*Are TiVo-ing Friends while you're gone
*Have boarded your cat in place that charges more money in 2 days than most people's monthly rent.

...You own any kind of climbing calendar. Take your own damn pictures.
...You've ever bought anything from the gift section of Mountain Gear. Or really anything from Mountain Gear for that matter.
...You hang out in the gym in your work clothes so everyone can see you in a startched button-down with the sleeves rolled up. "Yes, I transcend the dirtbag climber stereotype!" Uh, wouldn't you have to be a climber first?

you listen to your Ipod wile bouldering in your prana pants in the climbing gym, after driving there in your suv, eating a powerbar.
Your one of those people who go to the Ouray ice fest to toprope WI 3, and you take an hour and fall several times even though your using brand new cobra ice tools.
Iv seen both, I have no recourse in the gym, but in Ouray I solo next to them in glacier crampons and using beat up pulsars, knocking down lots of ice. :twisted:

All your cams are either aliens or camalots, because "They are the best".
Actually, I'm just jealous.
