Cycling with Stangers

Some risks you take to make you feel alive !

I've enjoyed better days with people whose company I have enjoyed but for a few hours, than those spent climbing with bums I've known for years. I think the maxim
"There are no stangers only climbing partners you haven't met" probably applies here.
You shouldn't be afraid to grill any prospective partner and ask them to demonstrate knots, belay technique, setting up anchors, etc. If they aren't up to scratch kill them, roll their body off the top of the nearest cliff, and seek a partner who you feel more comfortable with. QED
