Utah climbing rules
I screenshot this off one of the brochures/miniguides for a Utah climbing area we're going to this weekend. Some Utah climbing areas have some unusual rules. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but most of my Colorado climbing friends would be screwed in Utah as far as following the rules go. (No debate; I just thought people outside Utah would find it interesting).
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: Utah climbing rules
No words can express what I think about that - at least while in Utah.
Re: Utah climbing rules
Utah's caves, peaks, and valleys sure are magical.

You should have heard me yesterday descending Olympus every time my head snagged a branch cuz the snow on trail was so deep that it elevated me into said branches.

Re: Utah climbing rules
What about pearl clutching? I'm still allowed to do that, right?

Re: Utah climbing rules
I want to go to there.
I am surprised the F word hasn't worked its way yet into parent-teacher conferences. I hear it everywhere and woman and children being present is no limitation apparently. Not the way my parents raised me.
If you want to converse like a cretin, 99% of the rest of the world seems to be your platform.

"Quicker than I can tell it, my hands failed to hold, my feet slipped, and down I went with almost an arrow’s rapidity. An eternity of thought, of life, of death, wife, and home concentrated on my mind in those two seconds. Fortunately for me, I threw my right arm around a projecting boulder which stood above the icy plain some two or three feet." Rev. Elijah Lamb

Re: Utah climbing rules
Thanks for this perspective. You've given me something to think about. At times I have fallen into this habit too easily as exhibited above. It does seem that particular word is the easy "go to" these days. I won't be an angel all the times going forward, but I can be better. Happy trails to you, and thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this!Rollie Free wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 10:58 am I want to go to there.

Re: Utah climbing rules
It's not just Utah. The case of the "cussing canoeist" happened in my hometown in Michigan several years ago:

I would have expected some guy named Timothy J. Boomer to be the one whining about others cussing instead of having done the cussing themselves.Exiled Michigander wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 9:17 am It's not just Utah.
