totally love these words of Shyam … 😉

“This is all total BS. REAL ‘climbers climb half drunk, bare-foot, in moonlight, totally naked. Don’t ever wear those stupid ‘climbing shoes. They are horribly tight, butt ugly to look at and very dangerous to use; the strong stench has been known to cause serious olfactory damage. People have been chased away from their work-places, disowned by family and friends. As for art of climbing, do the barest minimum possible. Come back to the buddies and make really tall stories. Only idiots and masochists climb hard.”
hope he won’t beat me up for copying it here 🙂
