Sorbalnageek

So...I have decided it's about time that the NAC get another blog up and running, as I recall the last edition to be both humorous and slightly frightening. So with that in mind, and with 3 days of no one coming into the NAC, it's time to talk about our beloved Sorbalnageek.

Now the reason I chose Sorbalnageek as my first entry is simple: he's the only person dumb enough to be in here today climbing. It's hovering around 100F outside and while we are in the A/C, the heaviness of the air has found its way through these cheap faux rock walls. Not only that, but it's freaking GREASY in here, which makes watching Sorbalnageek all the more entertaining.

So, for those of you who don't know Sorbalnageek, let me tell you a bit about him. Sorbalnageek is 13 or 14, I'm not really sure, I tend to stop listening after about 3 seconds when he talks to me. He slightly favors Splinter from the Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles, and even has the same kind of demeanor as Splinter to be honest. I just realized this whilst typing...Sorbalnageek talks like Splinter. The same "I've been smoking sooooo much weed today that I pause 2-5 seconds between words, more between sentences." Now, Sorbalnageek also goes to Jay Peak a lot, as I'm sure many of you have heard or had to bare witness to one of us humoring his stories about the rad snowboard runs he did this weekend or how he "hurted his finger" and now can't do the crux of this 5.8 when it's more an issue of his sewing machine leg and his inability to unweight the rope while climbing.

Ok...so I feel kind of bad after saying all of this about Sorbalnageek, because he's actually a cool dude and he supplies me with endless entertainment on days like today when the other option is to forge a new sleeping arrangement behind the desk or mindlessly listen to music and geek out in the laptop. Bottom line though.......good god, Ben Rosser just walked in....


next time: Ben "the rising traverse" Rosser........
