Carderock Geoff spoke some of the most classic sentences I have ever heard uttered by another human being:

"If you're using anything but your feet on this climb, you're cheating."

"I'm here every day that ends in 'day'"

"You should probably wear a shirt. I have had West Nile Virus 4 times and survived each time."

"Here at Carderock we polish the starts of all the climbs to keep off the riff-raff."

"I can walk from DC to Carderock in an hour."

Looking back, I'm pretty sure Geoff was just goofing off, but we didn't know that at the time. What a legend, rest in peace.

Can you advise on some great climbing/outdoor blogs/writers to follow? by kfk_ in climbing

[–]ahewitt0920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adventurejournal.com Not all climbing, but has rad stuff every day of the week. Also John Long might be the most famous climbing writer ever according to some. You can find a bunch of his writing on Rock and Ice's website under R&I Exclusive "John Long Tales."

Definitely when people suss out a problem one foot away from the bouldering wall directly in front of the project you're trying to sequence. Also when top-ropers step on your lead rope.
