Things that give you "the ick"

Look at the thread title. Almost by definition it includes politics!!!!

It is basically a poll-of-icks...

The smell of frying squid.

I just can't.

That doesn't give me the ick just the ika.

Gaiters  (especially while ice climbing)

I love em.   Biggest thing is they prevent my laces from snagging my crampons, but they also protect my pants, add warmth, keep snow out of my boots, and I use them to wrap up my crampons in lieu of a bag, so the metal doesn't rust.

Any denim full stop. Outside it makes more sense, but in a gym, no

Maybe they are the only semi-presentable pants they have.

I would accept jorts before full length jeans

hey…. I didn’t name names. You’re the only one naming names, namely me ;) I think everyone has their own run ins with an “MP Admin.” As for me, I have quite a few over my entire time ever on MP, and I didn’t target anyone or make any reference.

I think you’re the one who might need to give it a rest if you’re getting upset. 

Sounds like a you problem.

On this site I’ve had to harshly deal with some ‘interesting’ and ‘morally questionable’ people. The admins never gave me any problems.

Anyone who would shits on a gold toilet. Anyone who would vote for someone who shits on a gold toilet.. 

People who loudly judge others over their voting preferences gives me the ick.

It’s only funny if you do it one direction…

This one was was more so for Marc’s sake so that he can climb out of my doodoo hole, since I posted the MP logo in both.

But if you have cynical friends who are revolted by enthusiasm, you know, the ”curb your enthusiasm” kind, you might just find this direction amusing too.

It’s not the enthusiasm, it’s the troll level trolling. Give us some style, maybe some flair. More than lack luster copy-paste attention seeking.

Random climbing things that really have nothing to do with climbing.

Like 75% of posts on this site and 50% of climbing “ethics”

Drones in the mountains.

Hate hate hate ‘em.

Edit: Was climbing today at a quiet mountain crag, and one of those damn things buzzed in overhead. I flipped it off…if I’d had the right tool with me at the time, I would have shot the fucker right out of the sky.

Any use of ‘splitter’ other than describing a crack.

Referring to grips instead of holds.

Climbers who repel a route. 

I don't get this. When I was learning to clean routes in 2014 I learned that the ethic at many sport crags was to rappel a route in order to avoid undue wear and tear on the gear. I learned that typically the ethic is determined by what kind of gear is used on the anchor bolts. Welded aluminum rings that are hard to replace? - Rappel. Quick-links that are cheap and easy to replace? - Lower off.
