You might be a mountain climber

You might be a mountain climber if.....


You have more summit pictures than wedding pictures.

You've ever had icicles hanging from any part of your face.

You hear the name "Hillary" and think of Everest instead of Mrs. Clinton.

You've been arrested for climbing the county courthouse.

You introduce your girlfriend/wife as your belay partner.

Your first aid kit consists of Diamox, Dex and Morphine.

You have ever flipped a coin to see who slept in the trunk of the car.

You have ever been called down off a route by the sheriff.

You drop something at work and yell "Rock!"

You don't walk down stairs, your rappel them.

You have one of those "falling" dreams and on your way down you scope
out the cliff to see if it will go.

You have a secret journal of bagged peaks hiden somewhere in your
bedroom. Your wife calls it your “Peak Bagging List.” You call it a
“Climbing Log.”

You truly realize that the fall never killed anyone. It's that hitting the
ground part.

  2. Yours would have been... but I had no clue what most of it was about. LoL. I guess I'm not a mountain climber at all. The only "mountain climbing" I've ever done is walking up the mountain at Bogg Springs(both on the trail and off it straight up to the top behind boys cabins).
