What do you tell non-climbers what your crash pad is?

One of the vintage BASE chutes that Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen used in a scene that got edited out of the first "Wall Street."

Iphone carrying case.

Have said this to people many times expecting them to know I am joking but they never seem to.

Sex pad is the classic but it's played out. I like 'iPhone case'....

I think I'll start using "Bigfoot trap. We're what you would call Yeti wranglers".

Back in the day, we used to love telling the tourons in Yosemite Valley that it was a bed. If the person asking was a hottie, we might add, "Want to try it out?"

The one about the moss on the trees in Kings Canyon is way better...

I'm pretty partial to moose/elk/deer/bear saddle, but "iPhone Case" is pretty genius, might have to use that one next time.

I just say oh its nothing, stuff my little brother in it, and walk away with it on my back.

We were up at Haystack Mountain in the Uinta National Forest last weekend. While exploring the boulder fields near Rock Lake a gentleman was fishing there. I had a mondo BD pad, and my friends had two tacos. He walked around the lake to us to ask what the pads were. I replied, "Mountain goat f*** pads." He looked at me curiously, and asked, "Have you seen any mountain goats?" I replied, "Yes, three of them." as I pointed to me and my friends. He walked away shaking his head. (:

I was walking down the road in Sanapur near Hampi and someone asked me and I told him it was for catching unruly kids. Just then I let the kid out. I had carried a child to the shop in it just for fun! (fun for the kid not me)

Don't worry about it...

A variation to the 'iphone case' one, which I like...

'It's the original iphone.'
