Other sports

I used to ski VERY passionately/aggressively. But by the time I was 14 I felt that I should chose one (climbing or skiing) and focus my efforts. Plus I found climbing more challenging, and thus more fun, and I would have had to move to really pursue skiing to any further extent. I also skateboarded when I was younger, but got tired of getting hurt.

... chess doesn't count. And neither does Magic the freaking Gathering, OK?

Don't hate. I will SO kick your ass at Magic the Gathering.

hemmingway ftw

the only valid non-climbing sports are race car driving and bull fighting

I've gone through phases when I was rabid about another activity/sport--snowboarding, yoga, swingdancing, drinking--but none--not even drinking--has kept my attention for long. The hurt I feel the day after drinking hard isn't the good hurt of the day after climbing.

running (5K to marathon) and biking

i'm begging you, if and when you come to hueco tanks, please please PLEASE, when away from the park, make an effort to discuss ANYTHING that is not rock climbing. thanks.

Dude! You don't want to act out and discuss beta for some classic park traderoutes?

Sport is the ritual sacrifice of human effort. The athletes demonstrate to the Gods the worthyness of their creation.

I read this is a book about the original Greek Olympics

I thought sports were invented to prepare young men for war....




I could be wrong..

I thought it was to give them something "constructive/instructive" to do while they're not at war.

i thought it was to give them a legitimate reason to shower with other young men

People invent stupid shit because they get bored.

Actually, me and this D-bag I know have been getting pretty into bullfighting. I actually snapped a pretty sweet shot this weekend.

BTW golf is most definitely a sport. Many of the worlds so called "premier" athletes eventually try to master it.



that said .. Any sport that can be played in a bar I work very hard at. Darts, quoits, table tennis, shuffle board .. etc. I've always been an athlete but at this point if I want to be something more than a weekend warrior I don't have time for other activities. I play music as well and that takes up what little of my time and head space is left.. after work and climbing. Unfortunately because I love golf and once took it as seriously as i take music or climbing and I love volleyball as well. 2 o 3 man teams on sand. Nothing else even comes close. probably the third greatest sport on the planet.

If this guy is a professional golfer - then it's not "sport" but rather "hobby" (or "activity").

so baseball's not a sport then? Golf is a sport just not one that takes serious fitness. And Daly is fat. And he drinks alot of cheap beer.

[zakaspfc]

If fat people can do it it is not a sport. sorry baseball

[Cardboard_Dog]

does that mean Bowling is not a sport? Or curling? You people are crushing my dreams.

[RockPharmer]

they are games. just like horsehoes and pinochle.

[effff]

is pocket pool a sport, cause if it is, i'm going pro...
