In reply to: Translated into English In reply to: When I started climbing, doing it indoors was fun. I got to sweat in a controlled environment and show off my pretty branded clothes. I also got to watch people. It was enough for me. I'm an attention whore, and I must look good at all times. When I exert myself and look sloppy, I need to be able to run to the bathroom and primp, or just sit and sip my latte. In reply to: Climbing outdoors wasn't fun for me at all.... I didn't enjoy the experience but somehow I persisted. I think I just didn't want to "lose out", heh heh. Maybe this is a trait of a reluctant climber? I have found a new venue in which to get attention, but I haven't yet found out how to look good in said venue. Maybe I need to find a more experienced attention whore for some tips? In reply to: The turning point for me in climbing outdoors began with the Great Red Books in Red Rocks.... When I topped out, I just felt different about climbing under the sun. When no one else was around but my partner, I realized I didn't have to worry so much about looking good. Instead I could complain all I wanted without getting stared at by passers-by. That felt good. In reply to: In retrospect, what my partner did was being very patient with me, and highly accepting of my city-girl b---- and moaning about sufferings. He was very understanding, encouraging and was very proud of me whenever I made a tiny step forward. My partner is so p-whipped by me that he'll put up with my attitude. He gets very happy when I b*tch less and climb more. In reply to: I have also learned to trust my partner that if I were ever in trouble on a route, he would figure a way to get to me. If anything happens to my partner, we're completely f*cked. In reply to: So, if your city gal doesn't like to climb with you outdoors, don't blame her. ... you only have yourself to blame... from the moment she started b*tching about how that last hike scuffed up her new trainers, you should've known better than to take her outdoors. In reply to: Look at yourself in the mirror. ... and ask yourself, why the f*ck are you dating a "city gal"?
very very well done. harsh, but very very well done.

In reply to: Heading to do a "mini-mini-wall" this weekend. Will get to jug 4 pitches and clean gear on traverse. May get my first experience sleeping on a portaledge. I just got my first wall spoon, hehe.
first wall spoon? seems like the only way it WOULD work on a cramped portaledge...

Minor safety tip: if it's him spooning you and he starts gettin' jiggy wid it - you want to be FACING THE WALL.

Refering to Fenix83's quote
In reply to: tisar wrote: bumblie wrote: One definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome". Then I wonder why getting up every morning doesn't count as sign of insanity.
Because the expected outcome of getting up everymorning is going to bed every night.

My girl is semi-city (memphis) but she likes the outdoors. She was getting restless last year because I was always going climbing on the weekends with my buddies. She begged me to take her along on her weekend off. I did and will never regret it (after her fear subsided). She likes the sense of accomplishment she feels after climbing a route that she doesn't think she can!
It is much nicer to camp and climb with a hot, sweaty chick than a sweaty, stinky guy. unless I am trying to climb 5.10 or harder. Then the stink makes me want to climb higher to escape the wrath of burnt nostril hair! :shock:

And if all this persistence crap doesn't work and you still want your lady to climb with you, tell her you want to buy her a new pair of shoes and show up at your local climbing shop and repeat frequently the following phrase,"Wow honey, those shoes really show what small feet you have!" Mention similar things about her butt/hips when she tries on a harness.

:wtf: Am I the only one that doesn't see the connection between burnt nose hair and climbing?
