My general aversion to being cold has kept from ice climbing, but who knows...someday...sigh... Trad is most definitive the most pricey, but sport runs a close second. I don't seem to be able to pick inexpensive hobbies!<br /><br />Glad you liked the post!

Bouldering - all you need is shoes (been using 5.Ten Anasazi for years), chalk and a pad. And I've never bought a pad. They've all been presents :). But being in PR and marketing, I know how the game works too. I don't think anyone is truly immune - and those that say they are are only fooling themselves.SamSchofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302288631169781221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30043419.post-82671684873259729462011-12-01T16:12:16.574-07:002011-12-01T16:12:16.574-07:00I'm not sure about 'High Priced Gear Guy&#...I'm not sure about 'High Priced Gear Guy' since it seems to clash with 'Dirtbag Boulder Boy'. But maybe they both work!<br /><br />Glad you liked the post!Paukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284586238925788542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30043419.post-47269665336053583422011-12-01T10:25:57.328-07:002011-12-01T10:25:57.328-07:00Excellent!

I concur that personal recommendations and reviews carry weight with gear purchases. <br /><br />And since gear whore isn't quite accurate would 'High Priced Gear Guy' be more accurate? <br /><br />Thanks for the insight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
