Oh gawd. this is the wrong thread for me.
# People who post-mortem a route you failed, going on and on about "if you had put your hand here" or there then you would have managed it.
# Especially irritating when they haven't climbed the route
# Even worse when you know the route is about 5 grades harder than they have ever climbed.
# People who lower off at high speed "coz its kwel"
# People who fail to look where the route they are climbing is going and whether it conflicts with anyone else.
# Guys who think that because they are doing some super-hard route at the wall they have to take their top off and casually look around to see who is watching them.
# People who top-rope some high E grade route and then go on about how they have "climbed E6"
# People in the wall who say that everything should be bolted outside because they don't want to face danger when they are climbing (I've had this in the last few days)
# Climbing partners who stand you up - i.e. you're at the crag wondering where the f*ck they are.
# Climbing partners who let you down at the last minute.
# Boulderers who climb underneath people leading a route. (Almscliff, recently)
# People who don't understand that letting their dog bark at a soloist topping out might result in serious injury
# People who sling top-ropes on every s*dding buttress in Burbage because "they've got a group arriving"
# The same people who after you move their top-rope aside as there's not a kid in sight threaten to throw the top-rope down on your mate who is leading
# The same people who somehow think that being screamed at nose to nose when they are standing with their back to a large drop is somehow out of order when they've just threatened to throw a rope down on your mate.
# People who think there are hard and fast rules in climbing like "you must sit down to belay"
# People who don't apparently think for themselves and parrot wot they got told on a course.
# People who nick other people's possessions and call it "crag swag".
# People who think that because they have an SPA that entitles them to being an arrogant patronising git.
# People who are f*cking selfish and neither think, nor care, the effect their actions have on others.
