The ongoing weekend idiot report

[Shamis]

This weekend i saw a guy climb through about 15 feet of lichen to go off route to a hueco. Set him self up for a HUGE pendulum fall with several ledges below. Potential for serious injury. I talked him into calmly traversing the choss and to get back on his route. Then he proceeded to put his finger through the bolt (for which i yelled at him). Somehow he made it up and down the route w/o injury.

Same guy an hour later is telling his friends that if you send up an ATC to a climber that forgot theirs you must wrap it in a sweat shirt to protect the ATC from being damaged. He explained that if the ATC is scratched that it is no good and you can no longer use it. Nothing I could say would convince him otherwise.

It's kinda scary to be climbing next to a man who put himself into TWO very dangerous situations - doesn't realize it - and then thinks something is dangerous when it's really perfectly safe.

sigh.

Wow. I'd say that guy has about a 50/50 chance of being alive by 2013.

Ladies, no need to share gas... I make it down to the Red quite frequently if you girls are so inclined. But be warned, I will have to open a can of whoop ass on ya!

Yeah, Ian You Dreamer You. You hurt yourself today. . . it will be The Pillsbury Doughboy against fucking Spiderman and that Long-Legged Guitar Pickin' Man in Black, Johnny fucking Cash who will Take his Guns to Town. We'll take The Boy Named Sue apart and we'll do it One Piece at a Time. First it will be Cry! Cry! Cry! then we will have you Walking the Line in here in no time.

Cash is an American icon. We are all Johnny fans. This includes Central and South America, Canada, and the Caribbean, so yeah, Ian and I are in too. Sorry to speak for you Ian, but be warned, if you balk at this one, you might as well say that you hate kids and torture pets.
