How about a game of "would you rather?"

would you rather be able to hold your breath indefinitely and be immune to the pressure of being underwater, or be able to fly by flapping your arms.

Would you ratehr bang all the chicks you want, or have a girl friend. Oh wait, that's what i do now.

Would you rather have a job where you really matter, or a job you can f***K off on the internet all day?

Funny thing is, i have BOTH.

Lose rack, dog poo, Kate, Lotto, other Kate, werewolf, Burger King (at least he's royalty), probably fly (but that might make climbing boring...or make free soloing AWESOME).

Would you rather fight Mike Tyson, or talk like him?

man, these are getting ridiculous.

• give up chocolate, prefer cheese
• take that 30 ft whipper (that half star will hold, right?) being condemned to a lifetime of only bouldering would suck
• my current level of fitness to shitting my pants every time i move off a hold... LOL was this by personal experience? yeah i'd probably improve by 2 YDS number grades if I ate laxatives all the time and lost mad weight, but then yes i'd be shitting my pants
• I'll opt for finding routes and forgetting about them. That way I can name them and I'll just have someone take pics. I wouldn't want my FA's sniped
• Flying seems to be a more useful skill, but then would climbing be pointless? A bird would have no reason to climb, it would just fly up to the top.
• I'll take the beating. Talking like Mike Tyson is a lifetime sentence. If this were to ever happen I'd probably just keep running around the ring, until it's time to go home.

Snowtube down Mt. Everest....Raft over Angel Falls?

Hurley-reason stated previuosly.
flight
give up chocolate
Ronald McDonald-there's a reason why the most featured burger at BK is called The Whopper, and my bum fears it.
current level of climbing-it would get hard to find partners with the crap issue; unless, they made the same deal, then it might work out.
fight mike tyson, with ear protection on.

Would you rather have one millions $ when you are 20 years old, or one billion dollars when you are 55 years old. Paid in one lump sum.

prolly angel falls... faster and warmer.

what about a climbing question.... higher BMI (+5 from current) or worse APE index (-5 from current)

BMI can be changed but stuck w/ APE index. They say that climbing is hugely mental, but it's hard to imagine any weiner-dog proportioned people climbing well.

That's probably my favorite yet. I'd raft over the falls. Tubing down Everest would painful the whole way, rafting over the falls would just be one big fun drop.

Whipper

But what's underneath the star drive

Best one yet I think but I had the same question somebody else did: "What's below the star drive?" Maybe the question means I'm an indecisive pansy.

I read it as one star drive and nothing else...:shudder:

The act of taking a "whipper" onto a stardrive implies it held.

So, yeah I would take a whipper anyday over bouldering only.

haha I'd be an embarassment to both. On one hand, I've bought stuff from Wal-mart and not Mad Rock, on the other hand, I might appear more like a Mad Rock climber, the brand looks like it's geared for kids, whereas a Wal-Mart climber would be more like a retired stone master.

In either case they are getting the worse end of the deal. Maybe I can climb for Weight Watchers.

i climb 4 myself, an still have to eat shit all the time?

Would you rather: simply say 'hello' to Sharma and get snubbed or spend the entire day with Ondra?

Is Ondra's sister going to be there? If not, I'll take the Sharma snub.

fixed knifeblade sticking out an inch and a half.

and below that is a slung 2 X 4.

and then the anchor of old hexes (which you didn't clip) -- so your buddy's harness. -- who dropped his belay device and is belaying you with a munter.

and you're off route ...

(but you are up two pitches)

or

(as previously mentioned)

you have to only boulder for the rest of your life.
