As a bonafide wuffo, I find this to highly enlightening. Keep leg loops tight... Japanese squat... move the furniture to the front room... Got it. A buddy of mine had the dreaded testicular torsion injury, which is when a muscle spasm in the pubic area causes a berry to twist spontaneously on the vine, so to speak. There he was, standing there minding his own bidness and -- yoink! -- testicular torsion. Had to go to the hospital and everything. Good thing the doc knew exactly what to do... righty tighty... lefty loosey.

Scary! Maybe I'll rappel in.

Haha! OK, since you warned me, I'll warn you... watch out for drkodos.

Some people find freeclimbing to be a spiritual experience. I have heard that to some who freeclimb, it is about being one with nature and about having total freedom. Their thoughts are that adding rope makes it artificial and somehow takes away a part of that total freedom. (I know climbers who primarily boulder, who feel the same way.) I've never freeclimbed myself (rope is our friend), but I wanted to express other climbers' possible viewpoints. That right there is what we on RC.com call a can o' worms, girlie. There are seveal subjects in the climbing forums that will spark flame wars. Freesoling is usually one of them. But the biggest of all is dogs at the crags. It goes a little something like this... User 1: I love my dog. User 2: I will fucking KILL you! User 1: What? Why? Ouch! Hey! Quit it! Qui-- (Pssst: "Freeclimbing" just means that you're using your hands and feet to ascend. It has no bearing on the protection you're using. FreeSOLOING, is free climbing with no rope.) Hey, do you guys ever bring your dogs with you when you jump?

Man, oh man... you should see all the DZ-ers dropping by Community on RC.com. I need to even the odds. Cheesy poofs = good Beer = very good wuffo = gumby My day-job boss would think this merger is bad.

Yes. In fact, we at Rockclimbing.com welcome all forms of porn, mainstream and deviant. This is all kinda funny, huh? I'm reminded of various sci-fi stories, in which somebody travels to a strange parallel universe where everything is the same, but with one key change. Weeeeeiiirrrrd... Hi, Jay Young here. I'm the content editor at RC.com, which means I edit and write for the Articles section and the Gear Guide. I'll echo what my co-hort, Phil, said... the deal is done and we're a glass-half-full kinda crowd, so I'm looking forward to what we can do together. While I'm likely still considered a wuffo, I do have one jump under my belt. But, it was a long time ago and it was tandem. As I understand it, like Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and the Tooth Fairy, "perfectly good airplanes" don't really exist. Jay PS - Where the hell's the "Submit" button?! Is it "Post Reply"?
