But the tradition of the moment is that other people jump on lines i'm thinking about whilst im injured :(. Geoff was toproping a route on the pharos i'd been planning on doing this summer the other day. if you believe in karma, you might be amused that he clonked himself in the head with a hold he ripped off. and chris destroyed his harness on this one ... and his shoulder by the sounds of things. shoulder surgery sucks, Chris. my commiserations.

Wendy, someone showed me a post from this site where you mentioned your opinions on how I go about my climbing activities, since you used this media as the carriage, it seems appropriate to respond via the same.
What line did I jump on that you had your eye on. I was cleaning up something that I put up with Tony Dignan in 1979, were you looking at it then? How old were you then?
Fact is when we put it up, we described it as it was, you start from a fist jam and go through a classic arapilies bum, so we called it "A bum full of fists" submitted to VCC Argus and they rejected the name and refused to publish it, and we didn't find that reason enough to change the name to keep the beard strockers and religious zealots have their way.
Furthermore you may have thought that I was on a route where you have a lower off on (nearby) something you were trying, You need to do your research a lot better than that in future before getting stuck into me, I don't operate like that, if someone had equipped a route (maybe even tagged it, I would not go there) I even enquired with Glen about where you may have been looking/trying something prior to your injury. Then you mention karma and getting hit on the head top roping something "WRONG" get your facts right in future!
Regards Geoff pissed off Little!!!
