Me and my buddy Mike came up with this a few years back, thought I would share it...

Rating Opposite Sex in the climbing language

(Excellent for discrete banter)

Traditional: The One you could see yourself getting old with, having a family, etc.
Sport: One night, one week, one month stand. Playin’ around, getting good.
Mixed: Not quite sure yet which way...

Grading:
Anything under 5.0 is too easy or unappealing.
5.1 through 5.6 generally requires aid (see below)
5.7: marginally attractive, amazing feature
5.8: homely
5.9: average looks
5.10: good looking
5.11: hot and good looking
5.12: turn-your-head WOW!
5.13: the one someone else always gets.
5.14: the 5.13 that climbs hard
5.15: The 5.14 that is wealthy, a virgin contortionist and massage therapist.

Aid: Alcohol, whatever, that makes it go better. A1 is a beer, A6 is blotto.
Aid Fall: Whiskeydick
First Free Ascent: sex without aid.

R: There’s definitely some psycho elements
X: They may get you into serious sh#t.
Eurogrades: Foreign chicks, guys

Bolt Chopper: Cock-blocker

Discrete Tension: Cheating behind the spouse’s back

Onsight: That moment where you make it happen with the perfect one.

Direct Variation: Anal Sex
Chipping/Glueing: Homoeroticism

Alpine: Blue Balls, weeks of wooing/spending for a peck on the cheek.

Clean Ascent: Condomless

Bouldering: Making Out, coppin’ feels

Grade 1: A quickie
...
...
Grade 6: Tantric Sex: Cobra In The Red Cave, etc

Extensions: Children

Link-ups: 2pitch = twosome, 3pitch = 3some, etc

Free solo: masturbation

Gym Climbing: toys for sex

Toproping: teasing

Campusing: Coppin’ feels

Flappers, Gobis: VD

First Ascent: Virgin

Seconding The Pitch: Sloppy seconds

Classics: Older Men, Women

Finger Crack to Offwidth: A reference to the fairer sex, mono being smallest...

Slab Climbing: Flat-chested
Jug Haul: Well endowed

Lead Fall: Getting dumped
Pulled Gear: Belongings thrown out on the lawn

Backing Off a Lead: Deciding it’s not worth it (psycho, wrong sex).

Spraying about climbs well above your climbing level: Impotence

Apparently, by the number of replies, good old raunchy climbing humor has fallen out of popularity.

Oh, well - enjoy your political diatribes.

I like your raunchy humor. I just missed it round 1.

You gotta cut a little slack for the politcal threads on the night before the election. Even the knitting forums must be a little political tonight. ;-)

I missed round one too. I've got to say E, you guys had some time on your hands. Been laughing my way down the list. Now I'm trying to figure out my relationship.

Looks like I got the On-site FFA of a VI 5.12

Oh, and since being introduced to this sport she told me likes trad climbing, because "cracks are more fun."

HighGrav, i think your wife may have been talking dirty to you. why are you posting on a board? sheesh



MisterE,

I think you may have one wrong there...

"Pulled Gear: Belongings thrown out on the lawn"

should read as:

"zippered gear: Belongings thrown out on the lawn"

Ha ha ha. I like the "Belongings out on the lawn" one. Funny.

How about "using the whole rack" = the guy who's got a girlfriend at every crag (in every port)...

Yeah,

I remember telling my X-Wife BITD that she should "not try to stand in the way of ME and Climbing."

AND, one wonders why I have been divorced and single for all these years?

There was an even earlier (seperate) thread of this hilarity on ST , and it originated from RC.COM if that tells you anything .

was hoping this might be a serious discussion about the babes you get involved with climbing. turns out it's some rather weak humor cooked up by a couple probably hetero guys spending way too much time with each other. (sorry--my efforts at humor aren't always great either. i'm sure you're both great guys.)

having had a few climbing romances back in the day, i learned that a decent climbing girflfriend who turns out to be a life partner is a relative rarity. this is sad, but true, and i think it bears some discussion for all the available eligibles out there. i wound up in a fairly decent marriage to someone who climbed like hell with me for a year. then we developed an extension, to use your word (my phrase was "byproduct of recreational activity", not that strong in the humor department either). maternal instincts kicked in--a beautiful thing to watch, by the way, but look out for side effects--and that was pretty much the end of our climbing together, although we did raise the kids around RCS/SCMA campfires.

the answer to all this is a proper prenup, and it doesn't have to be complicated. i had a rich great uncle who had a yacht, and on a plaque firmly mounted in the heart of the hold were the following words: marriages performed by the captain of this vessel are good for the duration of the voyage only. turn that around a little. conventional marriage is okay, but if she doesn't get on the rock with you any more, you really oughta be able to have a climbing wife as well. you'll have to get around the bigamy laws in most places, but i expect they'd be tolerant in utah.
