Fist Jams/Tequila shots

[Uncle_Tricky]

I learned tonight of a certain incompatibility between fist jams and tequila shots--at least until you're too wasted to feel pain. Instead of licking that concave spot between thumb and index finger so salt sticks there, tonight my friend showed me that squeezing a little lime on that spot and THEN coating it with salt was the way to go for the pre-shot set up. As she said with a lascivious wink, "you never know where that saliva has been."

Unfortunately for climbers, rubbing salt AND lime into their fresh fist-jamming wounds has potanitally painful implications--at least until the 5th or 6th shot of tequila (w/mandatory Mexi beer chaser ), whereupon pain seems like an abstract sort of concept.

Can't say as I've experienced the lime in a fresh wound scenario since I tend to forego the salt and lime when partaking of the fine Mexican liquors in abundance, but yeah, citrus fruit is a killer. Remember everyone, ice can also be considered as a mixer.

I thought the idea was to drink a lot of tequila first, and then go climbing. That way, if you are not using your best crack technique, or if the crack is just tearing into you, you won't feel any pain and you send.

Lime & salt are overated. The southern mexicans use Chili con Guisano. A wonderful little blend of hot pepper, salt and finely ground agave worms. Yum.

Hey Terminal, any ideas where that stuff can be had around here?

i found some worms in my backyard today. will that work? or maybe slugs to give it that nortwest flair.

I am not a slug eater but I will chew up the worm at the bottom of a bottle. Yummy! Plus it gets you drunker.
