Donald and Daisy Duck go climbing

Found this little gem on the back of a Donald Duck orange juice box.

Daisy goes off route???!!

A good example of the need to keep in contact with your rope partner.

I was also wondering how long it would take for this to divert into dry tooling controvesy /simul-climbing danger/ gear/ conditions thread

I'm amazed at the no-pants ascent they both seem to be going for.

Forget simulclimbing, this comic appears to advocate ice climbing without a helmet. For something targeted towards children, I find that to be highly irresponsible. Next thing you know, there's going to be glamorization of free soloing on major magazine covers or something crazy like that.

Anyone else notice he is either chopping steps or using his tool backwards ;)

Also Daisy musta forgot her spinners as she seems to have dropped her tools?

I just want one of those hats.

Who wears flippers on an ice climb?

They'll need to yodel for SAR once snow-blindness sets in. . . right about, now.

Looks to me like, Donald is chopping bolts on the compressor route.

And Daisy is wearing the new model fruit boots.

I know what route they're on- it's the east face of the Matterhorn. The abominable snowman was preparing the plum sauce at the base of the route.

You do know why ducks don't wear pants, right?

You could borrow one from this dude:

Daisy must have been pumping weights or burning some hard climbs to train cuz her shoulders are killer huge. I think they both have the same shoe company as a sponsor too.

Well, someone has to say this:

He might not be much of an ice climber, but I'll bet he's quite the quack climber. The Incredible Hand Quack. Superquack of the Desert, Serenity Quack.

Sorry, it needed to be said. Or not.

Yeah, I was going to say that. Leave the hemp for your pipe, Donald. You're gonna need 1 inch webbing.

I don't see any quacks anywhere on the route, just a duckfaced rock pillar or gendarme they both are attempting.
