Things that give you "the ick"

I was under the impression that Florida is a frictionless plane... It has peaks?

basically walking up all the landfills.....

This thread should be renamed ‘the playa haters ball

Referring to famous pro climbers by first name when you're not on a first-name basis with them.

But everybody knows who Tommy and Alex are, and Adam..., saves time

Alan Rubinwrote:

Presumably Florida has 'bumps' in most counties that I guess could qualify as 'peaks'---all things being relative!!! The reality is that the actual high point in each Florida county will undoubtedly be man made. What a quest though---Louisiana next!!!!

Here's the County Highpointers web site for Florida:

A large number of counties, many with multiple locations that each "might be" the county's high point and, bonus, notes about which high points are "man made."

Ah, you’re all thinking about this two dimensionally. In Florida, it’s all about the surprise inverted mountains - the sink holes.

Well, that would be the 'low points'---a different (though undoubtedly more interesting and challenging) quest.

Drinking while climbing

Having climbed in Scotland there was always a flask with us. Makes the climbing and/or swimming less scary, and comes in handy in case you get betided.

What about smoking dope while climbing? Did a lot of that in a younger day.

The paranoia makes you to check your knot five times on the ground, and then twice more while you're climbing.

That was never a problem for me.

People who bag dogshit, leave it by the trail, and then "forget" to carry it out

Wild isn’t it? It’s literally everywhere. Trails, parks, sidewalks, even snow parks.

What kills me, as a dog owner, is walking past people in the vicinity of one of those shit bags. I don’t know if they’re silently blaming me but I feel like they are.

If I’m already carrying shit, I’ll grab a bag, since two shits is about the same as one. I won’t grab a shit if I am not carrying one, since zero shits is substantially less shit than one.

It seems like a shit in the open, drying and decomposing is better than a shit in the same place in a bag. I’d advocate for neither, but if I had to choose.

Found this by a tree along the street near my house a few months ago…left them a little love note:

exactly... I think some folks would just like to be seen bagging it up; they feel some type of social pressure. Appearing to be doing a good thing is more important than actually doing a good thing.

When I’m retired and looking for something to do, I’m going to lurk in public parks and watch for this.  Then I’ll blow dart the scumbag and tag their ear .  No frickin excuses for this

yup.... I've literally got puppy poo bags in the breast pocket of every jacket or fleece I wear...

Bigger ick and hopefully karmic payback to the parent who changed their child's shitty diaper on the trail to rainbow falls in the smoky mountains and left the diaper and wipes all on the side of the trail.

My dog found a used wag bag at a local crag this fall.  

I would 100% rather see the shit than shit in a bag. That’s only adding human litter. Frankly, animals shitting in the woods has never bothered me anyway…I mean…thats sort of just how all this works. But people bagging the shit and then intentionally leaving it on the ground for another human to pick up? WTF?

Yes I am 100%.
