I've got ethics. I brush on lead... and not while hangin on the rope. It doesn't count if you brush while doggin.

I thought it was the only part worth reading!

I see your point, but every time I think of her I think of the south park episode where kenny is a vegatable and they cant find the last page of his will which states "dont show me in a veg state" and they show him on TV!

I guess I feel bad for her but I can see some humor in it but lets just say it's not a joke I would make........ but anyway

Many times i see gumbies at the crag worrying about the wrong thing. For example dude comes to crag with the helmet, puts it on to climb and takes it off after he is done. Then he gets hit with a rock. You are 100x more likely to get hit with a rock if you don't climb with the rope behind your leg. That is another thing, wear a helmet while climbing, think you are safe, but climb with the rope behind your leg or with no sense about body position relative to rope and rock features and you end up breaking your neck.

In Mexico they have a saying: "El pendejo trabaja doble." which roughly translates to the gumby works twice as hard.

BTW: if you want to get into a fight go to Tijuana on a Friday night at some cantina in the barrio and call a vato or some working stiff a pendejo.

I'm lost what does that have to do with the schivo thing? I never said don't wear a helmet.....

you confuse me....... maybe i'm just stoned.....

Someone said that they wear a helmet because they don't want to end up upside down and hit their head. This is the kind of person that will take the helmet off when not climbing. However, falling rock is a greater risk. This is also the kind of person who will climb with the rope behind the leg.

Typically people don't know which end death is most likely to come but they are deathly afraid of falling. Instead of falling they will do shit like grab hangers. This is another reflection of poor risk assessment.

It is the ability to assess risk that I am criticizing. What is difficult to understand about that?
