Mind you climbing in the cold is completely different kettle of fish.
That just plain hurts.
Your fingers can't feel anything. Then you put some load into them. Then they start go hurt, then really hurt. Then the nervous system in your fingers goes, fuck this. Then you can't feel anything at all, then you tear your hands open because you can't feel anything then five hours later you get feeling back and it hurts some more.
Sometimes you do the climbs over water with no rope so when you fall, you go straight into the water and start over
Multiply this several times over with all the others climbers and the wall gets progressively wetter and it's like a million spiders trying to climb out a toilet bowl on the surface of the sun

plus yeah he was in one of the most brutally humid places in China
riverlands walled in by mountains
the place is basically like a giant rice cooker
(which is funny because I'm pretty sure they grow rice in that region too)
The only thing I dislike about hot weather is when I am sweating in nice work clothes.
I mean I will go and dig a ditch or whatever in full sun, I don't care.
I hate making nice clothes though look silly with massive sweat stains.
You liar! You do so care! I saw your facebook post of your poor, soft engineer's hands after you were forced to use them besides doing engineering-type duties! it was somthing along the lines of abloo-bloo-bloo if I recall correctly!
I posit that you're hands are as soft and fleshy as my midriff, sir.
well see dragons roost on those cliffs and they'll shoot fire at anyone who disturbs them
Ah, see this i can't compete with. We only get wyverns round here.
Now they are no push over to be sure, but they aren't dragons.
also, while i don't rock climb, weeks at a time of living in triple digit heat and humidity while still doing heavy lifting i'm sure is at least comparable.
Though early morning digging even at 100 is not so bad. but come 4 ye gods i just wanted to die.

it's true, when Blake punches me in the face it feels like someone just pelted a marshmallow at my head
A friend of mine is a keen climber. So when he goes to the indoor place to train he just does the climbs that are all done with your fingers. So he just has calluses on his finger tips. They are gross
The only way I could afford a deposit (£14k in 2008) was by living at home rent-free. If I'd been paying any rent at all then it would've taken a hell of a lot longer to get the money together with the market crashing and minimum deposits going through the roof.
Around the house though I tend to flit in and out of jobs until something snaps and I finally finish everything in one go. There was a hole in the kitchen ceiling that was slowly getting bigger because of a leak from the bath above, and after ignoring it for a few months I ended up replacing the waste pipe in the bath and completely redecorating the kitchen and dining room.
Likewise in the spare room one October I decided to knock out a built-in cupboard that used to house a water heater. The room then stayed partially trashed for a good 8 months before I worked up the will to strip everything out, redecorate and get new furniture to make it an actual bedroom.
I've had a half-painted gate for about a year and a half now. The wallpaper is really peeling off in our bedroom, and the teddy bear wallpaper in my study needs stripping out where there was a leak in the roof a year ago as it's gone mouldy.
Owning a house is great because you can do what you like to it -- I don't have to get permission to put a picture up or rip out some coving that looks crap. The only problem is finding the time and the inclination to actually do what needs doing.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

Still renting here but probably paying more than I should be. I'll maybe do this downtown living thing another year after this lease and then if I can't find a way out of Cleveland permanently I'll rent a cheap duplex or something and save for a move that way.

Since we bought our house I've replaced the heater, swamp cooler internals, part of the deck (which really pisses me off because I'd rather just build a new one but that costs more than I have), refrigerator and the entire master bath. Thank god for Craigslist.
The nice part is we paid 10k for it, dropped another 2k in so far and it's nearly doubled in value. Hooray!

I saw his post on the trailer but you'd be surprised how many smaller foreclosed homes are going for around 12k right now.
there are some half of a duplex on a main street with your door opening onto sidewalk type things that you can get to for around the price of a car here. Granted, a home like that will never increase in value.

I considered that a couple years ago and even toured some decent duplex homes but I don't have the time to maintain one and if I subcontracted everything out it would cost a fortune.

Exactly. Renting out a home is not a gold mine by any stretch of the imagination. Well, maybe if you're a slumlord.

or breeze, as he clarifies

Someday it'd be nice to own my own place, I guess?
Mostly just want a place with a yard so I can get a dog.
Renting life is treating me nice though. It's very convenient.
Washer broke a lil while back. Told complex about it. Next day I had a new washer!
