'Ways to spot your addicted to mountaineering
You insist to others that you really buy climbing magazines for the articles
When self arrest doesn't mean you turn yourself in to the police station
Your gear rack is worth more than your house
Your bivvy bag remains set up in your bedroom
When you holiday in the death zone rather than the tropical zone
The majority of your "friends" are hanging on your rack
A Matterhorn topo is on your living room wall
You no longer have anything in common with most other people
All your relatives keep referring to you as the crazy one in the family
You keep finding carabiners all around your house and in your car
Your spare bedroom looks like the local Patagonia shop
The first thing you find in your house to toast marshmallows with is an ice screw
If the contents of your pack cost more than your wedding,
and your honeymoon includes "candlelight" dinners, during a bivouac at sixteen thousand feet
When your pets are named after famous mountains
You refuse to date anyone who doesn't know how to belay
You decorate your house with training holds all over the ceiling and walls
When clicking down this page, you feel your finger tendons hurt from yesterdays unreasonable boulder session
When your friends won't go hiking with you anymore because you spend to much time grading the surrounding peaks
You have replaced the posters in your kids room with topo's of Half Dome and El-Cap
Your tent is worth more than your car
Your girlfriend/boyfriend breaks up with you for shouting climbing terms during sex.'
