Things that give you "the ick"

Anything swinging free on a pack. Too-long coils on a pack. Sad turtles. Upside-down draws on a gear loop. Tripping hazards on a gear loop. Supine (or prone, theoretically) with overhead hazard. Edge-hazard obliviousness. Too much slack. Inability to provide slack. Incorrect instruction. Shouted anchor-cleaning instructions. Sketchy leader. "off-belay" at the top of a single-pitch climb. Yard sales. Carelessness at height (e.g. water bottle placed on sloping ledge). Hmm, it seems that I am quite judgemental! |

Dogs under boulderers. Inappropriate footwear. Littering. Name-dropping. Unsolicited beta-spray. |

mbkwrote: By far the ickiest |
Brent Moorewrote: It makes your chalk bag flop around, makes it hang out of reach, and as an added bonus is something that could break your tailbone. |

Many routes have repelled me. Sometimes it was ick, especially under recently nested birds, especially carnivorous birds. Or pack rats/Belding's ground squirrels. Also repelled when having to belay in the proximity of large, dead animals. |
