>Really I wanted to mention my recent observations about some people who constantly speak and proclaim that they are climbers ...

I’m not sure if this is in any way related to your observation, had an interesting observation yesterday when I went up to the Blackheath Post Office. Driving into the car park I nearly ran over a guy wandering across the road. He was wearing his harness complete with a set of draws nicely racked up. As I swerved around the corner I think I noticed a rope slung over his back… Now I’m sure there was a good explanation for this, like he’d just had his backpack flogged or something, but given this is not entirely dissimilar to wandering around the Coles Horsham car park similarly geared up (but of course you’d also need a bunch of hexes or whatever it is you need to make up a rack down there) I must admit I was a but curious as to the reason for his attire so far from the crag…
