The problem with outside climbing

I have to wear a helmet. Because of falling rocks. Knocked down by goats. WTF?!

Try Vantage in WA

You have to bring your own beer.

Jim Titt: Sure, never been to a climbing wall in Germany that didn´t have one. 

I could cut myself on a sharp rock.

Tough in some spots to get good reception for playing Pokemon Go while I belay.

My phone won't recognize my fingerprint for a few days, seriously cramping my insta-face stream style!!!

Sometimes the holds do change: Riverside Quarry Rockfall

Sunburn.

Oh teh horrors.

Unfortunately, I don't have my outdoor belay card  yet so I can't comment on this thread.   

And not enough enos...

The roof is leaky.   The floor is unsanitary.  I even found bat crap smeared all over a key jug!  Some of the routes are about 30 floors up and there's no escalator.  The air filtration system is perpetually broken, aggravating my allergies.

I'm just glad the weather is rainy enough that I can get back inside.

Hmm it looks like the key hold for the route came off...

Too much sun. Farmers tan all summer

One word: ethics

Climbing outdoors would be fun if there werent all the rocks around...
