You know youre a climber when you participate in unwarranted shit talking on the MP forums.

You know youre an old climber when you wax nostalgic about the good old days in the MP forums, regardless of what the thread is actually about

you spend more time packing for a two day climb than you do for a two week vacation

multiple strangers have pictures of you pooping into plastic bags

all of your belongings fit into your car, which is also your house

you have been pissed on by your good friends on several ocassions

..I always wondered if dignity is gone on a wall...I guess it is.
You must be a climber if you open a climbing gear bag and the minute you smell it your palms start sweating.

You buy ibuprofin in 500 tab bottles, and know which pharmacies stock it.

AND know just when it goes on sale each month too!!! One bottle in the backpack, one in the car glovebox, also in your overnight ditty bag kept in the tent. Chew 'em up like Flintstone vitamins.

It's bad for your kindeys and causes constipation. In your advanced age Woodchuck you should be concerned about the latter.

you think youre also a professional photographer.

For some reason climbers (obviously not everyone, im stereotyping) think that climbing = them being professional and interesting photographers...

Your main concern with the Gov't Shutdown is the closing of the climbing destination you're headed to.

You're a climber if you think climbing movies suck.

The only movie out your interested in seeing is reel rock

Your mtn project password (and email, phone, and computer) has something to do with climbing

You ask someone for something at Christmas and they can't get it without calling you

When you ask "wanna bust some moves on my woody later?", but really you're just wondering if a gal wants to climb your homemade bouldering wall.

When you scream "I love jugs!!!!", and you're not even thinking of boobs at all.

90% of all my climbing pics are of a dude's ass and I am not even gay.
