What to do when nature calls.... 14-Jun-2005 At 7:44:23 AM cheesehead

Some points to consider:

1) if you're alpine climbing, when you get up the contents of the toob will be frozen, so there is no pent up nastines. The second person to the tube in the morning cops it (though the rim has been warmed for them)

2) Offer to carry the portaledge on the walkout. You friend will be amazed and grateful until he realised the toob is left.

2b) if this doesn't work, clip the toob to your rucksack with
1) gaffa tape on the toob
2) a plastic keyring 'biner
3) the price tag kimble on your rucksack.
Any one of these failure points could hopefully result in the loss of the dreaded toob.
* Upon no circumstances should you 'sand bag' your mate with the tube - ie, clip it to his pack when he's walking. That's just not cricket, and you'll probably be beaten too much to ever climb sport and make a magazine front cover again.

3) Upon returning to Guthega from a week in Blue Lake, find something serious to employ you under the bonnet of the car. You life-entrusting friend is eventually left with the charge of emptying the toob at the public toilets. Then some wannabe liftie has to clean the toilets afterwards
