OK, I've had a few PM's back and forth with wallwombat on this, and he assures me that I am being a public dick on this. I'm sure that back in the days when Mike Meyers still climbed, and chicks didn't, that aluminium tube chocks used to be called 'bongs'. If you think about it, looking at a tube with a couple of holes drilled in it could get that sort of name either way.
Can anyone confirm that back in the old days when grey Scarpa hightops were king and harnesses were still glorified seat belt webbing that aluminium tube chocks were also called 'bongs'??? |
