QuoteAh, to be in my late teens and early twenties again!
Tell me about it
But I guess it balances. I don't feel invincible anymore, but I am happier in a lot of ways. Not that I'm old yet, but I can see that down the road now.
I don't know the people you mentioned but I will look it up on youtube. I climbed with my buddies, simply because there were places very close by to do it.
climbed here an uncountable number of times:

Didn't need it though. though to tell the truth, I should probably be dead a hundred times over. All balls and not much brains those days. We knew that place so well we hiked and climbed at night.. Called our selves the Midnight Nature Club.
There may or may not have been chemicals involved, I really don't recall right now
I will still climb there now, just not up the walls and stuff. Bolder hopping and just making my way up the tumbled rock areas is still enjoyable, and I don't have to think about splitting my skull open, so much.

Something like that happened in Milwaukee '99 or so. These things must collapses a lot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjib_I_ab84 I worked for ABC affiliate then, I remember mixing the raw video people gave us. Getting it all matched and timed from the various POVs. It was sorta a grim task. I remember thinking that it felt like a movie... Then the Cole happened, then the towers in NYC. And that's all I recall from that few years... Now that you made me think of it, its been a pretty shity decade and a half...
The mid to late '90s really were as good as its gonna get
I feel a government/banking rant coming on.
