Guy in North Face fleece: Did you guys go mountain climbing? Gumby: "No, we were painting. All these walls are going to be Blue by the end of May." Young couple experiencing the Wilderness from their RV: "How do you go to the bathroom up there?" BWT: *pulls wag bag out of daypack*

No shit, some older guy looked at my super-meek partner and said, "Are you a retard? They say only retarded people climb." sigh. "You're a climber? I climbed a bit out in Wyoming." "Oh really? Tetons? Devils Tower? Wind River Range?" "Yeah, Teton. Teton Rock Gym in Jacksonhole."

I'm gonna say that to some unknown climber next time I'm drunk. Here's a good one. "Don't you get scared of heights?" "no, the scariest thing is maybe if someone is above you and when they take a shit on you."

Point to a climber on a wall and tell the touron, "Nobody's gotten him down yet, he was hanging in that same spot last week when we came thru."

Yeah, how dare someone asks if you went climbing. For all you know, they might be another climber. Climbing rocks does not make you cool.

For a minute, chicks dig it, but then they realize that you're just dirty, lazy, and are having a constant love affair with a rock. Then, the chicks don't dig it. And we all know that the only reason to go climbing is to get chicks, right? Right? Aid climbers, chime in any time..... innyhoo: I had a tourist ask "what happens when you fall?" I said "It's a long story, but basically I shit my pants. Have you ever shit your pants?"

It used to be, back before I was alive, that misfits and losers were climbers. Thats usually why the elderly have no grasp on why anyone would bother - it was the Aleister Crowleys that scaled the mountainz. Now, climbing can look cool, but it won't make you cool. Pro blogs, bouldering vid's, sponserships and the xtreme put climbing in a different light, if you're one of the rare who are in the spotlight. For the other 99% of us, it keeps us away from our friends and family, makes our girlfriends hate us, makes our moms worry, dads wish they pushed football a bit harder, it makes us broke, dirty, sunburned, we lose our toes, we live in gross vans and learn how to "go to the bathroom up there." I still think its fun.

I'd just gotten off a route and was riding the bus home when a touron said pointing to the empty gear loops on my harness; "Wow they come with cup holders! Thats a good idea." I replied; "Sure is nice when you're dieing for a cold one."

Me (to myself) - well, if you can get all three of those out then God bless you. I'll give you the old ones as your first booty gift. Me (to "Tattoo"): Only one cam is mine! That's the one connected to the rope and is next to an old cam. "Tattoo": So you only connected the rope to your cam then? Me: Correct...NO! I clipped another old cam, but that one is alone! "Tattoo": OK, so your cam is the one that is alone. Me: NOOOOOOOO!!! THREE CAMS!! ONE IS MINE! TWO ARE NOT MINE! MINE IS THE ONE WITH THE ROPE AND NEAR ANOTHER CAM THAT IS WITHOUT THE ROPE. THE CAM THAT IS ALONE BUT CLIPPED IS NOT MY CAM. "Tattoo" (with a shitty grin on his face): So leave all the cam where they are then? Me: Fuck you, I'm climbing. "Tattoo" (laughing): Climb on. haha i know this has no relevance but i got quite a chuckle out of it... lol
