You’ve heard and enjoyed, the sound of hexes tinkling on the rack, while scrub-bashing on your way to the cliff in the early morning.

.....you've realised that you will probably have to cut back on climbing to save this relationship, then chosen to go climbing and bugger the relationship.

You manage to negotiate the stairs without touching the floor.
You run off the road whilst eyeballing the potential of the boulder you just glimpsed when driving.
Your wife critises your nut placement when sipping coffee in a crowded cafe after a trad session.

You spend 10 minutes placing a piece and getting totally, irreversibly pumped... and then immediately after placing it, you move your left foot and suddenly have a no-hands rest.
