We went climbing on Sunday, at Annapolis Rocks, MD.
We climbed on rooves.
It was cold.
And it was snowing.
So we went home. The end.

That picture of me on Faint’s Roof is a bit deceiving. To be faithful to my fans, the truth should be known: I was actually aid climbing with a few free moves in between the preplaced gear. I’m totally hardcore.
Argh god no, tell me it’s not true! Tell me that you really cruised up the climb, pausing only to pose for your red bull sponsorship shots, and to eat a ham sandwich.
Well… I did eat half of ham sandwith on the de-proach, the half that Jen couldn’t finish. Or was it turkey? They all taste like chicken after a while. If I ever want sponsorship, it must come from a buffet of some sort, preferably with lots of sushi.
Yeah, see, that’s your first problem. You needed to involve the ham sandwich earlier in the equation.
Sorry, can’t stop thinking about ham sandwiches after reading the Ask the NOOB thread.
I’m having a bit of identity crisis. You see, what I did was not exactly “trad climbing”, in the sense that I did not place any gear. Yet I wasn’t sport climbing either, since I wasn’t taking 10-inch whippers on 1/2-inch glue-in’s rating to 1 million kN. So in essence, I was like a shrimp brownie: a blend of the two. I really should be wearing spandex, speaking with a French ascent, AND eating ham sandwiches at the same time.
Hmm, I see your problem. This is really an Ask the NOOB thing. But I have the feeling that such a meeting of sport and trad climbing should really result in an explosion, rather than fusion. It’s a bit like matter and anti-matter, but instead trad and anti-trad. I’m actually suprised you came through the whole experience unscathed.
