Climber Speak

OK, I admit it. I think and speak in climber. More than once a non climber has made the mistake of asking me about climbing. Usually their eyes glaze over and I can tell they are lost and only pretending to be interested just to be nice. Sometimes Amy will tell me "Nobody understood what you just said. You were speaking climber again." Fortunately my non climbing friends ask for clarification. Brett even asked if he could come along.I still haven't figured out why he thought trusting his life to me was a good idea, but he came back in one piece. I decided to post a Climber to English dictionary in case you ever feel like I'm speaking a different language, or that I am just making up words as I go along. http://www.rockclimbing.com/Articles/Introduction_to_Climbing/Climbing_Dictionary_528.html
