Stop saying 14-Jan-2015 At 5:22:20 PM ChuckNorris

If this all has come about through confusion between the mono syllabic words "safe" and "take" why the fk should we ban safe? " Safe" is perfectly logical and informs the belayer they can stop what they are doing. All "take" does is inform your belayer that they need to do what they are already doing.

I say ..... Stop saying "TAKE"

If you are so shit scared that your belayer is such a dipshit that they are too busy face booking a friend to catch your 30cm LEAD fall. I say get a new belayer. Alternately if you are such a pussy to be scaredy waredy over a slump onto a bolt I suggest screaming at the top of your lungs "I'm a pussy give me a tight rope cos I'm scaredy waredy!!!!!" That way you can confirm what everybody already knows and save them the effort of looking up to see if anything interesting is happening.
