I like the technical aspect as well as the physical workout of climbing. I have found that trad climing allows me to work both mind and body.

Basically any where with trees and remote.

Climbing in the late 80's and early 90's. In those days every weekend and 2 or 3 evenings during college breaks were spent at the local crag. Since climbing was only 20 min from the house and 15 min from work we could try impossibly hard climbs or just get on a rock spire and screw off. In those days work and school were a minor nusience and there was always tomorrow.

A friend of mine took a leader fall when he pulled a rock out of the cliff. He was trying to to warn me of the fall and at the same time warn some people below of the rock fall. As he hit the rope and I locked the belay I had to wonder "Who is Rawlings?"

Ok its too early in the morning.
