cant get away

[Quick Draw McGraw]

Every hour of every day, night or day, I just cant get away from the though of climbing. Many of my dream are constant reapeats of routes and trips i have done and with the people i have done them with, laughing, joking, and having a great time. My night mares are the routes i failed to do, and cant get back to, but Im stuck standing there watching other people some friends some dont know, there taunting me as they hike the route that i failed on. During the day i think of the routes i almost got, and one that i had plans to do in the future, but ran out of time. Even though i dont climb any more, at least not in Georgia, im always looking for deals on gear want to buy it but knowing its just going to sit for the next 3 years i just pass it up. I find myself steming hallways, and doing doorjam pullups all the time and not realizing that im doing it, there is no replacement for climbing, its apart of me that just wont go away and i need to get back to it.

Have you tried looking for a local climbing gym? Get on an internet forum and hook up with some local climbers?

If there's a will.....there's a way....

Can you and some of your friends build a climbing area? I've heard of other military people doing it ... not the same as rocks, but it might be fun.

If you mean on the government's dime, highly doubtful.

[sarahjane]

The government's dime is my dime. Quickdraw can pay for it. He's a baller now.

No matter what, don't sweat it my man. You'll have your whole life to climb after you get out of the Army. Hey, I started climbing at 43...think of how lucky you are
