Ok, well thats a bit excessive, This isnt about money, heck If i was a tight arse this wouldn't be the sport for me in the first place. To me its about respecting the gear you trust your life with. learning to handle gear carefully is part of climbing. I wouldn't want to climb with someone that says after I drop gear from heights "dont worry about it I drop gear all the time". but I also wouldn't force someone to buy me new gear, the offer is a just a nice gesture. |
