What do you do when you get home after a climb ?

[jf32]

shower and laundry - ideally at the same time - getting rid of most of my smelliness. I have on occasion brought a beer into the shower.

I'm a "lazy" climber, so I'm usually C.

My post-climb priorities:
1. Beer
2. Burger
3. Beer
4. Shower
5. Beer
6. Sleep
7. Unpacking

[RubiBlu06]

C... definately, but I usually try to take a cooler with beer in it at trailhead so I need not wait til I actually get home. Guinness truly is the worlds greatest athletic recovery drink!
The pack can stay packed til next trip...

Chipotle couch shower bed, three days later I unpack the car... that is if my next trip is longer than two weeks away

Old Chicago ASAP. Side salad with ranch, cheese pizza (thick crust), a pepsi, and lots of water. If there's no Old Chicago anywhere near, some other unhealthy dinner will do.

1. Drink a beer as soon as I reach the car
2. Find some way to finagle a trip through leadville to get a $7 steak from Quincy's
3. End up back at home with the car still full and drink more beer which usually results in passing out on the couch and saving the shower and unpacking for the next day

I found nothing more satisfying than finding a decent steakhouse. A good steak, baked potato, salad, and tons of water. Best meal i'd ever had.

My system is very similar to Aubrey's, and applies not only to climbs but to skiing, rock/ice climbing, mountain biking, etc.

Beer is the one consistent.

Wow, bunch of alcies here. I don't know how so many people can drink so much booze after climbs--alcohol would knock me out. I drink lots of Gatorade after climbs.

g, it is all about toughness and dedication to one's art.

C for sure. Still have my pack inside the Jeep and I will only bring it in tomorrow to get it ready for Sunday's trip.

Eat something when I get to the Jeep
Drive to Lakewood
Kisses and hugs to wife and baby (if they didnt join me. Jump this step if they joined me)
Open a beer
Sit down and download pics from my camera ( usually with a second beer)
Post up my TR onto my 1st Forum (3rd beer)
Copy TR to 2nd and 3rd forum
Upload pics onto FB (4th beer)
Sit and watch TV with wife and baby (5th beer)
Take a shower
Open 6th 7th 8th......... beer
Go to bed

I usually think of steaks and potatoes while im hiking but once i get out I only want to get home.

You're nasty Mike!

I have to shower immediately after I get home because I like to finish the day with a "happy ending", and my wife doesn't take to kindly to stink.

Yeah! That's why it's option C on the survey.

Actually, I'm not far off from that at all:

1) Chipotle
2) Couch
3) Shower
4) Unpack essentials
5) Bed
6) Unpack remaining crap over the course of the next week or so
