Best excuses of all time Saturday, 9 April 2005, JCP :

>yer....im pretty guilty when itcomes to bleeding on holds, espcially since im allergic to the adhesive in finger tape (and hell...i walked in so ill be damned if a >little bloods gonnastopme climbin)...

With all the chat about gym-climbing, I am etc,etc,etc that no one in Australia has ever raised the issue of contracting horrible,life-threatning vivuses from gym-holds smeared with plasma & blood ... gotta be a MAJOR issue now with the number of ppl using humid-bacteria-virus-thriving gyms, eh ?...

Outdoors ? --- ever had the second arrive at the belay ledge with a silly-grin and blabbing-on about cutting their finger and " aw sorry about the blood on the carabiners, mate:-) "...

AID climbing is a minority sub-sport, practiced by leppers using leapers, so they tend to be safely isolated from the broader climbing community ... but with 20,000+ ppl in Australia carry-ing HIVAIDS, you really need to start wondering who is lined-up in front of you on that next gym-climb ...

Luv HEX & da grim reaper ... Muhahahahahahaaaaaaaaa ! ...
