I've noticed some climbers have a habit that they rely on if they can't finish a climb. That habit is to
use excuses for why they couldn't do the climb, couldn't make that move, couldn't get out to the crag
or plain just couldn't.

... I'm short... I'm a girl... I'm a boy... my girlfriend won't let me out of the house and she's tied me up
to the bed post... my boyfriend was too demanding last night and wanted me to perform (ahem , I'll
stop there).....I'm preggers..... I have a 2 year old.. I have a morgage... I have a nagging wife.....

the list goes on... join the qeueueueue.

And Hexy, it's not reverse feminism, it's a general non-sexist remark made to both genders... because
climbing talents pervade predisposed gender strengths.... remember there are more female climbers
who have completed passport to insanit but there are mmore male climbers out hteree doing it.

oops... but there are no female climbers who have children and work full time jobs who have
completed passport.... why oh why this burden of children that I bear.
