As you can see, not the weather for climbing. :)
Maybe it was the season. How about in the fall? 8)

I've climbed in worse weather. That does look like a bit of a toughie however! I'd have to pack a few extra bags of pitons/friends/rocks for that 8)

The parachute is great for jumping off things but I don't like hauling the extra weight if it isn't a planned jump ;)

But it's those un-planned jumps that make you really wish you had it.  :P

Personally I'd just carry on to the end of the fjord and walk up the back. ;D

It's only sheer on one side. Barely more than a hike on the other. ;D ;D

And where is the fun in that? A walk? You can walk almost anywhere! Climbing something sheer is much more fun ;D

Too much like hardwork for me. Besides, only a matter of time before you do something wrong. :P

Oh I've made plenty of mistakes Woodie. Surely the only way to learn our limits is to push them? I'm happiest in trouble ;D

Obviously things didn't go wrong enough then. ;D

I personally have never really seen the fun in clinging onto a vertical rock face for dear life by your fingernails.

Sailing is much more my cup of tea. ;D

Indeed so. Now if I could just find a nice girl to stroke I'd be a happy man. ;D

Relative to the rest of your speech, I corrected your evident typo. However, I think you also meant to follow "...them" with "and yourself." It may seem unnatural but I sometimes help out masochists, too. ;D 8)
