Oh geez.....some people take life, an internet forums wayyyyy to seriously....... "Take what you want, and leave the rest." If you're taking something you don't want,...well....maybe ask yourself why that is.....
Anyway - here is my avatar from ClimbNYC.com, and the username is Happiegrrrl. He's sort of "big" and grainy here.....on the site he is much sharper, and about a half inch square in size.
I made this right at the start of my "climbing career" and it was my first attempt at being on a forum. I had no "cool downloads" or photos, and this was the best I could find, since I wanted to have something "NOW!"
As an aside -
On this site, I went with my real name of Terrie, because I thought it would be my climbing community. But I have to tell you - I have never felt particularly welcome on this site. I originally thought it was because you all were old-timer Gunkies, and I was a putzling n00b, but the day, a while back, when someone made a poll, asking about how many days out, and how long various users had been climbing, etc..... What a shocker THAT was, to find out some of the most vociferous were getting less facetime than myself. And then, to meet "the top dog" of Gunks climbing, and have him be more than nice, friendly and kind.... And then to go on Supertopo, and have some of the "Green Giants"(sing it along, kids...."from the valley of the Yo, Yo, Yo.....Green Giants!") be nice, friendly and kind to me.......
....things that make you go "hmmmmm"......
