I've been climbing pretty regularly in the gym and outside for about a year. Lately it seems like my partner docent want to climb outside as much. This sucks we where just starting to lead. Not sure what the deal is, but he might like the gym more. I keep thinking he's gonna take his shirt off and say something like "watch me onsight this pink route again" Anyways if anyone in the bay area would like to climb outside on the week ends in the bay area hit me up. Please.

"docent"? "we where"? A guy from San Francisco afraid of men without shirts? Your desperation is entirely justified...

If he starts wearing a beanie w/ no shirt on a hot day, he's gone to the dark side!!

An unfortunate situation.

I believe that I know what is going on... He is a Zombie. A reanimated corpse without a heart , brain, or soul. The absence of a soul in particular gives a Zombie no desire to go climb outside.

Then there is the issue of the sport climber. In this case, the person has divided his or her soul into many pieces in order to seek immortality and safety from harm. These are known as horcruxes. However, in divided their soul the person has become less than human.

In summary, people who go to the gym all of the time are Zombies and people who sport climb are dark wizards who have cut up their soul.

Supernatural explanations aren't verifiable BigRob; get empirical. Obviously he took a severe blow to the head, or is off his medication. If the former case, a blow to the opposite side of the head should restore his perspective; in the latter case I would prescribe Levitra, Cialis or Viagra-Cialis will enable him to be ready to climb trad routes at a minutes notice.

Smear some cheese on your cams.

Smoked ones work well.

You seem to be an expert (ex-has been; spurt-a drip under pressure), any advice on a good recipe for smoked cams? And about the Cialis thing; how do those romantic older couples get the matching tubs, presumably full of hot water, out to those remote natural areas? And another thing; if I've been monogamous and heterosexual for 20+ years, and yet take my shirt off in the gym; does that mean I've been lying to myself all this time? Please reply quickly, my apathy with this thread is rumbling...

Joe;

Smoked = Cheese, not cams

Tubs = green screen

Shirt off = yes.

Really though, have a climbing movie(s) n beer night at your house and if that don't work, cease n desist.
