Climbing Chair

April 20, 2008 @ 10:11 pm · Filed under Humour, Mountaineering · Written by Karthik Narayanaswami

I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while, but here is a picture of a chair that I took at a mountaineering equipment store in Boulder, CO a while ago. The chair is entirely made out of climbing equipment – belay devices, ropes, ice-axes etc. You could even sit on it, and it feels perfectly normal.

And in other news, I’ve been considering moving out of Cincinnati to Boulder, Colorado. My job lets me live wherever I want, and I figured that I’d much rather live in a place where I can pursue some of the activities that I enjoy.

    Life is short – I say move.

    Moved back to Cali after a while away, despite the naysayers. The outdoor fun, the culture, the sunshine, the open road. It’s expensive as hell, but you only got this one life to lead and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

    Unsolitcited advice – the best kind ;)

    @ Cray3 –

    Good to see you in these parts! :) I’ve heard some other people recommend Auli before. So, yeah, if/when I’m in India next, will keep in mind. Although the last time I visited India was the last time I saw you. It’s been more than a few years, and a visit is long overdue.

    @ ……………… -

    Welcome to my blog! Yeah, that’s what I figured. It’s not always that folks get a choice to live where they want, and I fully want to take advantage of it while I still can. I don’t like the sunshine, but I do like the outdoor fun and the cool weather and the mountains, so Colorado is my idea of heaven. Well, actually, Alaska would be, but it would be kind of hard justifying that!

    Hey, any advice is good advice – unsolicited or not. And thank you.
