In reply to: You divide your friends bethween 2 categories: Climber and not climber. You eliminate the second category. The only type of shopping that really excites you is in a climbing shop.
yep...that is me... :D

you practice equalizing a cordelette on the handle of your oven... and leave it there...
get distracted in church because you're wondering if it would be possible to climb the tiled wall behind the pastor...
you pay more attention to the landsape (looking for things to climb) than you do the traffic signs...
have a longing to visit old friends that happen to live in vegas...
I'M GUILTY!!!

Your friends won't go out into town with you because you always climb the side of the mall to get to the second story.
You hear "Nice rack" and start looking to see who has a harness on in the bar.
Your local climbing store starts buying ticker tape and confetti for when you come in.

you're addicted:
when you find yourself placing trad gear between the fridge and the wall and making a 3point anchor out of it with cordolette.
when you watch bigupproductions trailers repeatedly and eventhough you own all their movies
when you work at the rock gym just so you can climb there free when you dont have enough time to go out and do REAL climbing
when you spend time studying.... gear catalogs
when your weekends become known as: "Indian Creek" "J-Tree" "Queen Creek" "Tahquitz" etc.
when your car is full of firewood, toillette paper, ramen noodles, camping chairs, and climbing gear no matter what day it is so that you dont have to pack... you can just leave
when your best friends have double and tripple setts of camalots and aliens and so do you
when you own alien offsets
when all you can do in your spare time is look at this site and wish you were climbing

you have been through 18 relationships ... and all have ended because the time and effort of the relationship is getting in the way of climbing.

you spend the last 12 hours before your physics midterm reading gear reviews and not remembering to get back to physics until you read about sling and webbing kN ratings and how they decrease in strength with knots.
your friends shake their heads as you "pet" every stone and brick you pass by, hoping for a crimp or pincher
while reading about knots, you cant get yourself to get up and get a piece of rope; instead you try out that new hitch knot with your mouse cord and a pencil
you drive home @ 85 mph from REI just so you can stuff all your new gear into your dayback and parade around the house with it for the next hour and half. then you put it in the corner and stare at it wishing it was already the weekend and not 12 hours before your physics midterm.
speaking of which, i gotta go study.

You are a college student nearing the end of the semester and you tell the team leader that the meeting needs to wait. The reason? You need to finish reading this page of the forum titled "You know you are addicted to climbing when.

When meeting new people you never really pay attention to what they are saying as much as you're just looking for an opp to work climbing into the conversation.
When you read all of and reply to a 23 page, 2 year old thread.

When your wife leaves with the kids for a few days, you get back into "bachelor" mode...and all you do is go to the climbing gym every night and exhaust yourself.
When your car is a climbing magazine library.
when you smile seeing this thread coming up again...LOL

You sit in class and wonder if the chalk board is strong enough to hold a heel hook on you new v5 boulder problem. :)
You were mad when the climbing gym was closed on christmas and on new years day. How crappy :cry:

You go to Las Vegas to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday..drink A LOT and dance your heart out all night, then after a repeat the next night...sleep at 6am, wake up at 8am to make it out to Red Rocks, do the 3 mile approach, and climb for 6 hours....then CRASH. :shock:

after moving in to you new place, your new roomates catch you traversing around the house on the molding and chimneying the stairs to your room. They ask what the hell your doing...
You somehow convinve them to try it, and end up with a new activty everyone can do on rainy days!

going out a window.
You rappeled of a chimney.
