Rock climbing. It's fun. It's a lot of fun. In fact, the best rock climbers are the ones who are having the most fun, to paraphrase Alex Lowe.

Thanks to the miracle of the internet, climbers from around the world are able to communicate with each other via usenet in the newsgroup rec.climbing. Many things get posted to the group -- some are good and some are bad. And every once in a while, something exceptionally memorable is contributed. Consider this page a small rec.climbing "best of" archive.

Unless otherwise noted, all posts from rec.climbing are unedited (well, I trimmed most of the headers off, but I suspect no one will really care).
