I know you folks got some ideas....

 

Putting on the 60 pound pack on the second day of an approach.

 

Masturbating in your shared tent without your partner knowing.

 

Dealing with Poison ivy/oak without Technu on a muti-day trip.

 

Others?

Dropping coils from great heights can be difficult depending on the harness and pants you have one.

 

Shwacking

 

Digging a snow cave in a raging storm at elevation after a 15 hour push.

 

Sleeping in a tent when the winds are so strong that the poles are pushing down accross your head.

Not sleeping through the 4:00 alarm.

 

Recognizing that your partner put rocks and/or blue bags in your pack before you summit.

 

Sleeping through the snorer in the next tent.

 

Remembering to put sunscreen up your nose and down your ear canals

 

Defending yourself from salt deprived goats when you aren't fully awake.

 

Remembering the CC.com fashion police are ever present, and coordinating your climbing outfit appropriately.

My personal nemesis: When the nipple on your water bladder pops off while you're belaying your partner across the knife-edge hand-traverse section of the N Ridge of Stuart and you lose your entire day's water supply as well as saturating your entire body in the process in the cold wind....

 

I have repeated that maneuver, or some variation of it, again...and again...and again....

What about masturbating with poison ivy without your partner knowing, and then hidding it for a multi day trip? skull

Running into a hornets nest in the dark with no way around it and not getting stung.

 

forgetting ones headlamp (DOH!) and descending many miles in the dark along with massive blowdowns, river crossing..then doing cirlces in the alder.

 

finding a place to cross Big Beaver then shwacking access creek. FUN!
