  5. here we go? Climbers with big egos don't use them don't like it, don't want to be one. Respect your groundies one day thay might be scraping you up off the hard stuff. Life is a gift be carefull with your gift and be carefull with others gifts.

You never know which may be the last tree you climb or last moment you share with loved ones.
