I started climbing when I started walking. I would climb anything. I started formally "rock" climbing when I was 15 or 16.

Started scrambling around back home in the Adirondacks in my teens. Took my first class and learned the ropes :lol: at 30. Carter was prez! Climbed only sporadically after that. Now, pushing 60, I am doing it more than I ever did before and wishing I had all those years of little activity back :!:

I think I was 15 or 16. I remember going to Eldorado Canyon and paying some old guy with a cigar box, 50 cents to go climbing there. Walking across the old telephone pole bridge scared me more then the climbing did. :shock:

I'm 26, and I've just started climbing this month. After a great evening of climbing some crags yesterday, I can honestly say this gumby-arsed nOOb is now horribly, horribly addicted.
And here's more trips planned for the weekend? :D

In reply to: I'm serious. We should do it. Who cares if there would be some stalkers lurking on the fringes. So what? Like they've never seen a bunch of ripped, hard, drunk, climber chicks having a pillow fight in their panties.... Who can organize such a thing? Unless you all want to fly into St. Louis (and I know you don't), someone else has got to take the lead. A location that is easy to fly to is preferable. I'll change my pillowcase right now to get prepared....
i love this idea...I will organize that stalker party
