If you saw / heard someone at a crag with one of these?

[[First climbing speaker]] http://yournipple.com.au

Can't believe that UKC have allowed them to advertise on here!

I'd ask them what it is, as I'm boogered if I can work it out from that website.

I won't be at a crag where somebody is using one of those, as they are surely aimed at boulderers. And I don't frequent any place a boulderer goes; ever.

Apart from UKC I'd assume :+)

Laugh at them?
In reality though, who takes a speaker climbing with them?

Climbing with a Nipple would make you look a bit of a tit...

You could maybe 'accidentally' fall on it?

Probably call them a mug for spending $87 dollars on a tiny speaker

Question is....

What were you searching for when you found this? ;P

I would get my phone out. Put some opera or worse, Gilbert and Sullivan on full blast and climb next to them.

In reply to ByEek:

What happens if that's what they're listening to? Opera is always going to be the best music for communal listening due to it's compositional emphasis on projection.

To be honest, if it's someone who would be listening to music either way, you'll probably be happier than if their belayer has a larger speaker on the ground aimed up at them. Surely a small personal speaker is better than a large public address speaker?

Would agree that it's pretty expensive, considering if it's aimed at Bluetooth phone users, it's likely they'd already be able to simply play music aloud using their phone, and a phone case with a clip is much cheaper, but I guess it avoids bashing your phone around.

Wouldn't "bollock" be a more appropriate name for this thing?

The far left picture looks very professional...

Why is he bouldering with a rope? The product and video annoys me on so many levels.

I knew I'd seen these before:
