K - I used to clim too but I had to give it up to adequately fuel my new tri addiction. Watch out.

I climbed obsessively for 4+ years but then took a break for injury and surgery. After 20 months off I started climbing again, but never with the same passion. These days swim, bike, and run get all of my attention.

OH My Gosh MD...me too..I was obsessive about it. I have a bouldering wall in my basement.

I stopped in the winter of 05 because one of my partners was killed while we were climbing together. I tried to climb again, but I just can't and should not at this point. My climbing head is gone.

So now I am off road tri girl...all that energy slowly moved over, first mt biking, then trail running and well, you know the rest.

Wow...I would love to chat more with you.

RnR,

I'm really sorry to hear that about your partner. I know it's really hard to deal with a situation like that. A while ago I was involved in a very bad rock fall event and watched a friend get really hurt. It could have very well been me as I was standing next to him. I ran one way, he ran the other. Luckily he survived, and I forced myself to continue climbing. But the death of a partner... I know how a partner can become very close. It's so sad when something like that happens!
