Yea. That's climbing sometimes.

As elegant, beautiful, and enjoyable as climbing has been described, sometimes we do things that are downright silly, unnecessary, and ridiculous.

Ahh yes kids. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Yea, above you can see T.J. levitating. He is doing so because it is about 10 degrees outside. He's jumping in attempt to warm-up his body enough to climb. (why did we get up early for this?)

Next up is sillyness. (Can I fit in that hole? YES... The answer is yes.)

We hate to admit it, but yea. Photos make the blogosphere go round. Sometimes you DO have to move that mess of gear out of the background to make a good picture. Yay D-SLR's. Raise your hand if no one has ever pointed out a hold for you. Yea. I thought so.

Raise your hand if your altruistic efforts have never ended in almost being kicked in the junk. Yea. I thought so.

Pointing, spotting, pseudo-spotting, and picture taking. And some of you called this a REST DAY! (LOL- yea. That's climbing sometimes)

My personal favorite... for vanity reasons. Sometimes the environment is ugly, the problem is a dirt burglar, the camera is in your nose but you still come away with a great image and a memorable session. WOOT.

Deny it all you want. That's climbing sometimes.
