Morning all,

After a climb at Symonds Yat over last weekend I am still undecided if a "burn" is exceptable if you are climbing socially with mates and not pushing your grade?

Whats everyone's thoughts?

Mac

In reply to Mac in the USA: No.

In reply to Mac in the USA: Best left till the end of the day...I wouldn't trust myself or the people I was with.

In reply to Mac in the USA:

plenty of hard stuff climbed by stoners. Plenty of hard stuff climbed by stoners whilst stoned too

In reply to Mac in the USA: Have had smoke'n'climb may a time at Symonds Yat cos it's me local...can't say that the wicked weed aids the balance when walking back down after it's raining. We climb stoned sometimes but it usually make me a bit nervous, as I'm not sure about my belayer being in a fit state. Bouldering on the other hand is a different matter...

In reply to Mac in the USA: Canabis is such an overated drug. Try climbing on PCP+ Crack speedball instead

No thanks,

Nepalese hash is strong enough. Cheers ta!

In reply to Mac in the USA:
A barbecue sounds much more pleasant and sociable.

I would rather have the aroma of tasty meat a-cooking on charcoal than the smell of burning leaves.

In reply to Mac in the USA: Charlie makes your hands sweat, then you need loads of chalk, then you get the two mixed up...???

'when i were a lad' an associate of mine (some dude i knew, but chose not to socialise with, as he was a disaster magnet) made a monumental climbing boo boo.

he was stoned, and tying in to the rope. it was indoors, and the route was being top roped.

he'd taken his end of rope, tied a fig8 and put it through his harness, but not bothered to rethread the knot.

he clibed about 5 metres, got paranoid and elvis leg kicked in, and then he said to his belayer to 'take'.

as the rope slipped through his harness, he instinctively grabbed it, which then promptly slipped through his hands...

after he decked and yelped, he didn't know whether his badly compressed ankles or the inch wide rope burns on his palms needed more urgent attention.

blaze another zoot, cheech.

In reply to Mac in the USA:

whats the point? its way more enjoyable to chill out after a good days climbing with a biff, socially. Can often be the perfect end to a perfect day!

In reply to almost sane:


or why not both? (on or off the barbeque
