rob Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The last thing we need are more rules. Is that in the climbing code yet? "Thou shalt not climb high?" Why are you guys arguing about this? If you want to climb high and with your high buddies, who gives a fuck? If you don't, then don't. As long as everybody is honest, I don't see what the big fucking deal is. I don't think its an argument. I think people are stating whether they would let someone who is high belay them or not. And I don't think anyone has said anything against actually climbing high or any rules. But my climbing code includes that I try to mitigate whatever risks I find unacceptable. In my book, that includes me letting myself be belayed by someone who is high. There is no room to argue there. Furthermore, I would be totally fine with someone who told me that they didn't want me to belay them b/c I was not high. Whatever works for you. That's proud, you gotta know what you want, and then you gotta take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archenemy Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Really, that's a good point. I know that people typically picture Bubba with a shotgun and a Bud. But I won't even bring alcohol on my hunting trips. I also won't hunt with anyone who does. Or pot. Or acid. Or bad food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The problem with stoned chimps is that they're always doing stupid shit like stuffing half dead bush babies in your burrito, then sitting back and picking their assholes with that shit eating grin while waiting for you to bite into it. Plus they have lice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 After the climbing day is done, all hell can break loose! After I complete a really hardcore route, which is usually never, I grab the first bush baby I see and either eat it, fuck it, or smoke it, and I rarely care which.

Clavote Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Back to the subject at hand, I certainly wouldn't hunt within anyone who is stoned, particularly if they were a chimpanzee with tool making skills. Sounds like a Vice President... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I don't climb stoned, but I do occasionally rub a datura poultice all over my groin prior to sending a route. Discuss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'd take a stoned belay from someone paying attention as opposed to most of the belays I see in the gym and at sport crags where socializing among straight people is nearly always taking precedence over belaying. Also, I'd take a stoned belay from a all-trad climber anyday before a straight belay from a person who is primarily a sport climber and used to drifting off while someone is dogging extensively on them...
