One of my favourite climbing stories involves chopping. I think it was in an old Rock and Ice?
Local Greeny Chopper tells some mates he's off to chop a needlessly bolted crack. Can't remember where. Comes back covered in blood and dust hours later. 'Duuuuuude, WTF happened to you? I thought you were chopping bolts? Did your rope break or something?"
"No man, I fell while chopping, on lead. I've got ethics you know." |
