The Bumblies Strike Back - Araps TR 19-Jul-2006 At 11:19:18 AM ironmike

Hah! So I may be a "Bumblie", but I'm humble enough to admit it and learn from others.

So ... all the "hard climbers" hang from ropes trying to get another tick.

There's more chest beating in this little thread than watching the mating habits of gorilla's on the discovery channel! hehe

I love pushing a climb and maybe taking a fall here or there, but then there's also a great deal of satisfaction to be gained from using what skills you do have to actually complete a climb that is within your limits, or perhaps slightly on the outer reaches of your limits.

I guess there are those of us humble enough to recognise that we still have pelnty of learning to do and are grateful for the guidance of the more experienced and generous climbers ... then there are those (no names mentioned of course) who are perhaps overcompensating for other "short"comings in their world, always talking about how hard they are ... yeah - uhhuh - rrrright! ... hmmmmmmm :o)

Oh man have I just opened myself for an attack ... oh well ... it's worth it! hehe
