Boxing kangaroos also need to treated with respect. Sure they provided great amusement in the late 1800's when the travelling boxing troups would showcase bouts between pugilists and specialy trained big red kangaroos, but since a breeding pair escaped into the wild, its caused nothing but angst amoungst the Australian outdoors users.
I dont mind going a few rounds at the base of the cliff as a warm up for the routes, but it anoys me greatly when I get king hit whilst belaying. |
