Climbing Pet Peeves

[Christian]

I hate that merrick has to keep explaining himself on this thread.

Hate's a very strong word, but I don't dig on.....

Weekends when I can't climb.
Mondays when I have to go to work.
Climbing days when I'm too sore or too weak or too hungover to climb very well.
The 2 hours of pain warming up and working through flamed tips so I can climb on Sunday.
Leaving perfect weather, perfect times, and perfect days at 3:30 cause I have to drive back to my fake life.

Access issues and the vast majority of climbers that have little knowledge or concern for such issues.

* People who litter - "pack in, pack out" includes cigarette butts!
* Taking a leak next to a climb I want to do
* Those goddamn deerflies
* People who leave their rope up and walk away, then bitch when you pull it down so you can do the climb they haven't been on for an hour
* Belayers that don't pay attention or get distracted by someone talking to them
* Beta you didn't want
* People who ignore the "No Trespassing" and "No Parking" signs, or do stupid things that screw up access for the rest of us

people who poop too close to the trail and leave little toilet paper blossoms for your dog to eat.

and ugly women like horatio.

[Danny]

Belayers and bystanders who complain when I spit chew on their heads.

[dipsi]

I don't mind, Danny, as long as I get to watch you climb!

[Danny]

I'd swallow my chew for you Dipsi!

I don't like it when people take a dump right at the base of the climb.
