to upset your mommy.

I climb to get away from the cops (I'm too slow to run away)... and the chicks, it's all about the chicks.

Why climb? That all depends on who or what is climbing what and under what circumstances...

Some business men and women climb the corporate latter because of a superficial sense of accomplishment generated through the continual accrual of more and more material things and supposed influence and power in a highly competitive rat-race.

Climber chicks are WAY hot. I love you, climber chicks. You get a 5.10 in my book! Guys, respect the ladies!

Well, I guess that’s all I can think of. Oh ya! Duh, one more. We rock-climbers climb because it’s FUN!
