You own more Prana pants and shorts than clean tighty-white underwear briefs.
OR, your Prana pants and clean shirt are your best dress clothes for attending weddings and funerals.

in any waiting situation you are checking the purchase of all the edges in the area with your fingertips (and feet if it looks like you can get away with it).

The term "Woody" makes your fingers/forearms ache : )

You're driving to the YNP and hope that the govt. shuts down. Free camping and no crowds, yaay!

You take pride in being called a crack head.

You consider a 1x5ft sloping ledge 2000ft off the ground a "Plush bivy for 2"

You have no idea if the brown stain on your pants is blood, dirt, or coffee from this morning.

You look at random cliff bands and see nothing but route potential and gear placement possibilities.

... you own one pair of sneakers and 6 pairs of climbing shoes.

... when you explain to customers that the scars on your hands are from fist fights with granite.

...the most important date of the year is when raptor closures lift.
...your brother gives, as a wedding gift to you and your new bride, a climbing rope.
...your big toe has been numb for five years.
