I teach by making them do what I teach them - that way they learn real quickly that they better be paying attention...and they have to trust their own anchors (which is always funny to see that look on their faces). But, you did get to see Beanie Rappelling - which is always a hoot. He is addicted to climbing now, too. He just goes and jumps in the rope bag...but, I digress...<br /> <br /> YES!! I DO get to meet awesome people out there! And of course, you are one of them! I could ask nothing more - except you stop goosing the new guys when they are taking too long to change drops - such a meanie.<br /> <br /> Now, I have climbed a total of about 30-40 times this year, and between the two of our injuries, maybe we'll find a day to climb together.<br /> <br /> I think I can fit you in between chiropractic and tendon damage. Does that work for you? Just for the record, if I do another top-rope, I think I am going to scream. Let's go hit the wall, shall we?<br /> <br /> "If you're not Trad climbing...are you REALLY climbing at all?" http://mark-champion.com/blog///index.php/b/2008/06/16/i_went_climbing_today_this_weekend#c312 AND....you met ME!! What more could you ask for??<br /> <br /> Smiles......... http://mark-champion.com/blog///index.php/b/2008/06/16/i_went_climbing_today_this_weekend#c311
