I know this is the only life I'll get but there's no fuckin' way I'd scale a 1000' foot cliff face without a rope!

I'm not much into extreme sports myself, but I do enjoy the occasional "jump off high shit while attached to a rope or other life-saving cable" type event. A couple years ago my sister and I did the Shotover Canyon Swing outside Queenstown, NZ. It was super fun. Kind of sad I didn't do a third jump now.

So... of all the atheists you know in the climbing community, almost none of them are religious? I should hope not. Seeing as how they're atheists. Wink
