Does anyone else out there have big wall fever? The more I get into it the less I can function down here on the ground and dream of my next climb. I just got off my first solo climb, though that would help curb the addiction, but it made it worse.
Thoughts, advice, comments from the peanut gallery...

large quantities of alcohol help, but it won't last.
best to get on smaller rocks, ween off slowly.

Reality is for people who can't handle walls.

make your next wall some completely rediculous sufferfest that will keep you from even looking at ropes for months on end. thats what we do to cure chicagoitus around here.

Tell your climbing partners, girl(boy)friends, and family they won't be seeing much of you for a while. Invest in a good but small boom box and a sturdy ledge. Count your blessings and hang on for a wild ride.

sounds like the route may of been too easy for you. Intense suffering can lessen the symptoms for a while.
