There is chalk on everything you own.
You have perfected the art of living in a car, tent, portal ledge, etc.
Most of your friends have never visited you in a house/apartment, they always visit you in; Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Stoney Point, etc.
All gatherings you attend are around a campfires.

Ummm...I'm at work...using a compression strap as a belt because my real belt (which I stole from my f*&#in dirtbag climber boyfriend) is lost in the car from our last trip.
"Can't 'cause I have plans..." without fail means something climbing related, much to the dismay of non-climber friends and family.
Proudest scores extend beyond the climbing world. For instance, bootying two nights in an air-conditioned room in Manhattan in June...going completely undetected and quite happy to avoid sleeping in Union Square, although you seriously consider it a perfectly viable option/backup plan.

Your underwear has more holes than a golf course.
OK, I'll get this in first: What underwear?

when your jeans wear out, you cut them off to make jorts, which you wear commando until they are so threadbare people start avoiding you after first glance.
Then you save up and go get another used pair at Salvation Army for $3.00.
Repeat as necessary.

you are working a temporary landscaping job so you can have money for food and trips, your car is full of tape, chalk, the random sling, sets of stoppers, a beat pair of shoes and a few guidebooks.

Original poster: TOILET PAPER!?!
When you don't need toilet paper for days at a time, because (really smooth) rocks and sticks are perfectly acceptable instead.
Yes, really.

When you wear your climbing shoes on the opposite feet because you can’t afford a new pair.
When the worst thing about breaking up with your girl-friend is becoming homeless.

Now....Mister E.
You know that NO ONE has feet like Tucker.
Close, perhaps, but no cigar.
Those are the feet of a champion.

on a first date, you pick up the girl in a mini-motorhome (your only ride.)
and for the pic-nic / hike, you only bring beer.

When you ride a bicycle or bum a ride to town from JTree, because you didn't bring a vehicle so you could live in the park for 6 months

... you finally get a job in silicon valley, and show up to work on your first day with all of your life possessions on your back and a guitar in hand, with no place to stay and no car, and assume you can spend the night at your boss' place.
