Yeah, I swear I know some folks who like climbing like it just because it gives them an excuse to collect gear. Ours is actually pretty minimal, despite how it looks (thats twice as much gear because we each have our own collection, but taken individually it's not actually as bad). And I cut myself off for buying new climbing stuff unless I absolutely have to. The Boy wants to start ice climbing, he also expressed interest in the kayaking thing. I've dabbled in ww kayaking but I had to put my foot down: NO MORE GEAR INTENSIVE SPORTS JUST YET!! Also, we don't have much time to spare for other hobbies. I've started the running thing, but I don't need any extra gear for that so it doesn't count (though a friend is trying to get me into tris... and I guess that means wetsuits and tri shorts/tops and blahblahblah).
