LOL you have to see this

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I just cracked up laughing.

I would go climbing with the leader any day. Thats pretty much how I treat my second when they come out ice climbing for the first time, and I let them find out what the barffies are first hand with no warning.

The link appears to be broken. It just leads you back to this page

for some odd reason it wouldn't allow me to cut and paste the link with www in front, or let me link it in the add link or add video feature. So I took the www. off in front. Just copy and paste without it, it still will work.

Screaming Barfies!!!!!

Haha that is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Thank you.

"Do you want me to take some pictures, as well?" HA! All we have in the face of pain and death is our sense of humor!

It looks like the guy is experiencing pain associated with Raynaud's Phenomenon/Syndrome. It's when the capillaries in your extremities don't open like they're "designed" to do when you're exposed to cold temps. But your core keeps exerting and building temps. Then, as he did, you get to the belay, ungrip your axes, and warm blood flows back into tissue that your body has otherwise "given up" on.

Unfortunately, I have experienced (or have) Reynaud's and I can tell you that it's some of the most excruciating pain I ever had the displeasure to go through.

Raynauds sucks. I have it in my toes and less so in my fingers and have done exactly what that poor sap is doing.

But...don't all ice climbers get like this from time to time?

Anyway, its funnier when its not you. My favorite line:
"Ahh, fucking, fuck off!"
"I'm filming the scenery!"

What is it about british accents and wanting to punch babies?

Anybody (and everybody) that climbed BITD of straight shaft, 50 -60 cm ice axes and a second tool (usually some bullshit hammer) knows all to well about hand reheat aches.

The link is broken. I can't watch it and I'm so curiosity. Fix it fix it please

delicated.net developers

It works Donkey. As they said above, just copy and paste this link into your url box...if that's what it's called.
