Wonderdog---I'm not taking the piss.
BA---I AM taking the piss.
Climbingjac---I'm not taking the piss.'Best role-mole in Australia' was tempting , BUT...
More 'girl-power' to you ,dude ("Don't call me dude !!!" ).As has already been said :HB's contribution etc,etc,etc. It's good you have assured all that he is 'planning to address'. The less climbing injuries, especially on 'them sport-climb things' , the less DOT-GOV has to 'bitch,winge,flak 'n' spray' about. The wider-community seems to 'understand' people getting killed or injured(occasionally) on 'adventure' climbs,canyons,mountains,etc .(statement of the century ! ).
It's important to consider that 'all forums are equal, but some forums are more equal than others' . That is why it is essential to have ,at times, VERY 'robust' things said WITHIN the 'climbing community' , before DOT-GOV's FORUM 'has to take action' because there are 'shocking' numbers of people getting brain injuries (Neil's mind-boggling 5metre ground-fall video says it all ! ).As has already been acknowledged 'replacing rust is good '---its the 'all areas are ok to re-bolt' approach that is adding a bit of 'scrotum from a bat ' to the 'cauldron'
Make sure that 'shade' your heading for isn't the shadow of you buddy about to land on your head !
Go the bros , go the bras !
