No. If I can I tend to be rather (overly) cautious with anchors.
>what was the most dodgy
>rig you have set up?
Can’t think of any that particularly stand out. Certainly there have been anchors that have given me cause to worry... but maybe that is just me. Sometimes you have to trust the available fixed gear and other times there’s not as much time, gear or possible placements as I’d like. I like about half a racks worth of anchors, then I can get on with it. Basically I’m aware there are enough traps in this game without taking unnecessary shortcuts with anchors.

The photo-fame rig is really safe though because you’re on a totally independent rap line (actually I haven’t used the frame for many years – it rarely helps).

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 ! ...

Rubbish Collection at Arapiles Tuesday, 27 July 2004, HEX :

' ... dishevelled climbers with backsides torn from trousers reinforced local speculation that all climbers had tapped into the dole to sustain a senseless existence of drug-induced debauchery. Understandably, this was viewed as a lack of respect for the local community... Retaining a firm grip on reality held little comfort as the mohawked inhabitants of ' the Pines ' thrashed wildly in the mud, blood and beer to the throbbing pulse of the Dead Kennedys... all manner of unpleasantness and the odd local illness have been attributed to climbers--- the latter being along the lines of "it's those bloody climbers, they bring back those weird diseases from overseas !"... The fact that we escaped being rounded up and shot by enraged , white-hooded locals brandishing burning crosses and screaming "death to the weird !!!" , astounds me to this day...'
(Glenn Robbins , 1995)
.......................................
Soooooooooooooo --- the next time some friendly-visiting-Euro,e.g. asks you to go and do a route (ah-hem) with them , explain that the reason you are wearing surgical-gloves while climbing, is to protect the environment from etc,etc,etc ...

Hepatightrz is probably of much more concern than HIVAIDS ...

But what is lurking in their lymph/blood stream ... the least you can do is take your surgical gloves in case one of you has to first-AID on the other ... especially on multi-day big-walls ...

Gym-holds probably not as ' dangerous ' as crowded boulder problems, where finger-tips are being worn-down quickly, exposing humanoid-fluids to the next keen punter eagerly awaiting their turn ...

I'm not sure why you are pushing the point Hex. Some people have diseases + they could be climbers = you could catch the disease whilst climbing. Big deal. We get it. There is plenty of other things that could happen that could hurt you as well. Apparently ATM machines are full of evil human killing germs - if you believe Today Tonight.

= the good 'ol aussie ' easy come, easy go ' attitude ... The HEX , as usual, is waaaaay
ahead of the indifferent mob , on an issue that is too horrendous to contemplate ... all those socially-intimate-relationships built-up over many years of camping & climbing together at crags ... of loyal bonds based on trust and respect ... itz not just degenerate-fags/junkies-from-the-alleys who get AIDS ... prefectly sweet middle class types can aquire it medically ... who ARE you climbing with ... is it really a good idea to casually ' hook-up' with globally-roving strangers for a one-day-stand of rock climbing ? ...

This is an important issue & has NEVER been addressed in Australian climbing in an open & rational manner ...NEVER been addressed at all , cos many would stick to soloing/bouldering at VERY remote crags ... or stop climbing all-together, if they REALLY had a good think about it ... we really HAVE ? moved irry-trive-ably beyond the dayz when ' sex was safe & climbing was dangerous(oh the irony) ...maybe ...
