Question for the very green gumbies

Just curious as to why you put your harness on in the parking lot before you hike up to Roadside?

Because it puffs out my package so when I arrive at the cliff I am in full effect.

Because it won't fit in my JanSport pack.

chaffing is all the rage SCIN, makes you look tough.

my question is this:
how come the biggest tool sacks who wear harnesses around, can't belay, and are walking special olympics have the hottest chicks with them??? really??

I cringe every time I hear someone say "gumby". Sounds like some internet freak/video game all-star started climbing but couldn't use "noob" anymore.

With that said, who here can honestly say that they don't look for any excuse to accentuate their package whenever possible?

I often do that even after nearly 18 years.
Simple reason - it holds my pants up on my fat ass.

I used to wear my harness on the approach when I had a crappy bookbag instead of a pack because it helped keep at least some of the load on my hips.

You must be wearing pants with one hell of a rise if your harness is at or below your waist band.
