In reply to The Ivanator:
On Saturday we climbed as two pairs at Shorn Cliff (
Cry Wolf (VD) and the Severe to the left) . At the top of the route, after both setting up belays the other leader lent against a tree. The tree groaned and cracked and started to tip over the edge - directly over the two seconds now coming up! Turns out the tree was just a rotten 2m tall lump of wood, long dead. After both seconds were up, abbed off, we cleared the base of the route, made sure no-one was anywhere near - and I booted it off the crag with one kick.
Not quite on the top of the crag, but on Sunday we were also at Symond's Yat, while in the approximate middle of
Whitt (VS 4c) I yelled down something to my belayer. That seemed to wake up a rather large rat inside of a hole right next to my face! After a few seconds of mild terror, I realized that it was probably a baby bird and that I was not in danger of getting rabies and getting my face chewed off.
