Couldn't agree more. F*ck the helmet police... and f*ck the, "Why're you carrying your prussiks on a non-screwgate krab?" police. In fact, f*ck the police, period.
However, knowing gentle, unassuming Tom (Tommyads), it may take quite some effort at the crag to crank him up for the requisite salutation. Am prepared to put in the effort though.
Beats pulling on those pebbles on the (appropriately named?) 'Let's Get Killed'. Shudder!
