In reply to robjob:
im with you - climbing is my central point of reference. i do other stuff, but it has to gel with the climbing element, or at least not detract from it.
all said tho, for me climbing is about alpine stuff, almost always multi-day, and usually quite complex - i dont just go to a wall or crag as to me that isnt enough of a fix.
along with this, to me cllimbinng includes all that goes with it - the airfares, the languages, the nights in tents, the food etc along with the actual climbing.
thers more than enough to center a life on in all that.
to be isolated from others as into it as you are is all part of being really into anything (no one seems as into japanese cheerleaders in silver bikinis as i am...). but unless you went sent to bolivia against your will surely this came up when making the choice..?
anyway, it doesnt sound too bad really. bolivia? that sounds awesome just in it own right.
and you could be centered on all sorts of other less cool things: in a way its lame to be obsessed with something lots of other people obsess over too. too easy.
its lamer still to not have a center to your orbit. climbing may be lonely, but its real.
also, never forget, its ok to be the nut on the fringe immersed in your own thing.
