I find the opposite is true - took me a while to decide what to pack for a day and a half in a big city, so ended up with a kitchen sink. Climbing trip is easy - the kit is usually already packed, just switch the shoes, rack and maybe the rope...

You check your street shoes wear patterns every time you take them off.

You get a call from the school nurse to tell you that your daughter has climber's elbow and needs a note to be excused from violin. And you think to yourself 'climbing is more important than violin' even though your father is a classical musician.

And then you fight with her over the ice packs.

....your knees, elbows, shins, hands, and hips are covered in bruises, cuts, and scrapes and you are always having to answer strange questions about where they came from.

You value the old (and variously sized) door frames in your house for the crimping opportunities they provide.

You wouldn't be cruising mountain project if you could be climbing.

You search for jobs based on their proximity to large rocks.

You break up with your girl by saying:

"Sorry babe, I'm still going climbing."

You come across this tread, because you already been to every other tread on mp! Cause that's what you do while you are at work!

You have the weather app on your phone programmed for Rumney, New Paltz, Slade and Fayetesville.

You wake up earlier on the weekend than you do during the work week.

You are failing college because you go climbing instead of writing papers.
