mikl law 15-Jan-2005 1:52:04 AM	Dropping out... I still think I'm wallowing around and doing most of the ings I want to do, does the fact that I have my first real job disqualify me from being a drop out? When I sort out what I want to do for the rest of my life I'll get serious and try and fit in. I know I am not a "real" climber (neither hard nor full time) and never was, but I get as much climbing in now as when I was unemployable. The worst thing that you can do when you are a climbing bum or an ex-Gen-X-er like myself, is waste time, because, no matter how many years and days we each have left, we are all chewing through them at an incrreasing rate. Where did '04 go anyway?

Logtime is the cognitive hypothesis that our age is our basis for estimating time intervals, resulting in a perceived shrinking of our years as we grow older. A simple mathematical analysis shows that our time perception should be logarithmic, giving us a subjective scale of life very different from that of the calendar. Our perception of aging seems to follow the same (Weber-Fechner) law as our perception of physical stimuli. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. ...You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. ...Every year is getting shorter; never seem to find the time... -- "Time" from The Dark Side of the Moon: Pink Floyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problems of Time Perception It's common knowledge that our perception of the passage of time can be influenced by psychological factors: time flies when we're busy, but really drags when we're waiting. (Stare at a clock and wait for a minute to pass. Or wait for the commercials to end, or for Windows to load!) These are generally short term experiences, but what of long periods of time such as years? Is there something other than transient psychological factors affecting our time perception? We usually think about the years of our lives in terms of decades: our teens, twenties, thirties, etc. This is an implicitly linear view: that all our years are equal; that clock time is our time, through which we move at a uniform pace. This simple picture, however, doesn't square with our perceptions as we age. By our middle years, at least, most of us have become aware that something is amiss, that a very slow but profound change has been sneaking up on us: the years that formerly crawled are now racing by. Where are the long, leisurely summers we knew as children? If it seemed forever to get through the fifth grade, what happened to last year?...' ...........................

My old man used to climb quite a bit in Europe, taught me a few tricks, then I went away from it for a few years to race skiing and now I'm back. I don't know where you made the connection you funny bugger! Funny poem though. There are probs more similarities between Damienta and Hex than any of us come to think of it
HEX 15-Jan-2005 5:18:34 PM	Itz OK ' Kris ' --- it can be our liddle secwet --- Hexy promises not to reveal any more ' connections ' ;-)

Would you like to see an open pit mine next to >Arapiles?... ' For those who don't know but care to know ', a 'strand line' is a long, narrow, relatively shallow, meandering deposit of mineral sands ... Fascinatingly, there usta be an ocean beach at Arapiles ! --- the strand lines actually constitute old beach/coastlines ...& many of the ' gullyz' at Araps were, in fact, gulches created by sea-wave action ... Mining giant CRA planned to mine the ' Wimm 500 ' strand-line deposits, near Arapiles, that Wendy refers to, in the mid-1980s, but found them to be too 'small-fry' for such a big mining company ... The mining of strand-line deposits involves digging a pit (big enough to float a barge in), filling the pit with water, then the mining-barge follows the meandering strand-line, munching out all the goodies, and spitting the ' waste ' out the back( to refill the pit as it goes along ) --- ' low-impact mining ' as far as the industry is concerned ...

The psychologee of chalking-up is indeed an extraordinary condition of certain sub-sets of the human species * in David Attenburra voice * and defiantly demands closer attention ! ... >confidence boost... When one is a trembling-bumbly, clutching a huge jug with the left hand , with a bomb-proof #10 Hex placed in a perfect slot at waist-height , there is nothing more re-assuring than dipping the right hand into the chalk-bag and then seeing/feeling a renewed sense of control and optimism ... >habit thing... Yes ! --- this dastidly practice is the main 'reason' for excessive chalk on cliffs ! --- people seem to think they have to have white hands all the time --- even when lengthy sections of a route are dry,course rock requiring no chalk at all ... >while sussing a route ... Master of 'static' climbing, Simon Parsons , once explained to Hexy, that the occasional chalking-up on a route, gave him time to ' think ' --- time to stop,rest and let the beta-sequence of the next, immediate set of moves (re)group in his mind, so that they would flow smoothly,elegantly & ' statically ' , once his brain gave the command for his body to action any re-programmed instructions...
