Things climbing-related that annoy you

When you didn't have to poop after you woke up, you didn't have to poop after your coffee, you didn't have to poop during the 2 hour drive to the crag, you didn't have to poop when you parked and were near the parking lot outhouse, you didn't need to poop for the 45 min approach, but then you really need to poop midway up pitch 1 of your half day multi-pitch. |

Thanks, kiddo, I appreciate you too! |

Is it only ex-military people who learn to “poop or hold” on command”? ( but I know Karma will eventually catch up with me) |

You just simply take every reasonable opportunity (or less than reasonable) for a “tactical download.” Saw a Sergeant actively taking a dump in a MRE box in the back of an open and moving gun truck while rolling through a small Iraqi city, clearly offending the observing local female population. A few blocks later, with business complete, an Iraqi child swiped the box-o-poo off the truck, only to punt it away once he realized the nature of his loot, covering himself with exploded excrement. |

people that rack/keep racked their PAS, their anchor cordelette, their prusik, their other random soft gear, and their vast collection of various belay devices on their harness while they indoor sport climb |

Chris Outings wrote: I’ll offer one minor defense/caveat - a sling, prusik, and a 1-2 biners (w/ a belay device) are necessary to do a pick rescue if someone gets stuck/needs it. If you’re teaching you should have them as most gym staff probably don’t know how. |

Make me an angel . . . So anyhow, some people need a lot of stuff. That’s fine. I don’t want to carry it. |
