Yes blue tooth headphones, get the ones that you can also answer your cell phone and you will not miss a call or a tune and be hands free.

once you get it working, you can see if anyone's posted a podcast of beta for the route you're doing. "now you should see a small flake to your left. after liebacking this flake, you'll be able to see historic Jones Fort over the top of the east ridge. continue up the crack system that now rises straight above your stance. but first, a word from our sponsor ..."

but hey now, we can't give him to much shii until you really know what he's doing. F.I. If he's gym climbing, then there would be nothing wrong with that, and if he's circuit climbing on rock there's really nothing wrong with that. sure, i suppose going for an onsight whilst humming jeremy (oOOOoOooOo Jerre-mEEEE-Aaahh) by pearl jam might seem a little odd, but remember Different strokes for different folks... that's how climbing started you know...I heard... Check out logitech's wraparound bluetooth headphones if you want phones, but for buds you should find a chalkbag with a pocket in it, and keep your iopod there, and route the line under your swami and under your shirt then up to yo ears. should be awesome. .

In reply to: 1) i'm serious 2) bluetooth is too expensive 3)im gym climbing 4) STOPP!! flaming me im 12 1) I don't have an ipod cuz I can't aford one, 2) roped climbing takes comunication so you SHOULD NOT climb while jaming to personal music because it cuts off the comunication. 3) bouldering I just run the line down my back so it doesn't get ripped out of my cheeper 1 gb creative mp3 4) Sorry but no one gives a damn if you're 12, if you are gunna post you are gunna be treated like I would treat any one else on this site. Age does not matter to me, its how you act! If you ask a question and get flamed for it, the way im gunna reply to you is based on how you take to being flamed. And retreting to " I'm only 12 year old mister" does not put you in high standers... 5) get out of the gym and hit some real rocks! Thats where the fun begins bud! :wink: Good luck!

He'll ask questions that someone with 12 years of life experience might ask and he's going to react to the flames like a 12 year old would. all how you act?? with this response you're acting like a prick. How then should you be treated? Give him a break.

there used to be a guy at my gym who would climb while listening to his ipod... but instead of the earphones ripping out, he would highball in the bouldering area and land on people. sufficed to say he was a bit below average in the smarts dept. ummm.... i forgot what the point was. but you can always try taping your earphone jack to the case to keep it from coming out. ~f

How about this? Wear a helmet with the ipod stuck to the back with velcro. That would make you look super cool and solve your problem all in one! Patiently awaiting my trophies.... :lol:

Dudes right, thanks for callin me out... sorry lil dude bad day when some ass holes were useing they're age to get out of acting like courtiouse in an adult setting. And I wasn't saying you should be flamed, becuase you were just asking an honest question that shouldn't have offened any one, just kinna flipped a switch when the I'm only 12 thing popped up, so I apologize I was outa line But deffinatly go with the helmet idea!... don't know why you'd wear a helmet in a gym lol.
