Don't let the wankers give you a bad impression of ice climbers. It's not like we are all gumbys falling off easy climbs...
Here are some first class wankers ignoring common sense and belaying in the bomb zone of a totally baked out climb. this climb was in full sun most of the day. a huge part of the climb fell down while this guy was leading and 20 min later everyone is still standing under the chopping block and the leader is still climbing the unsafe route....

Gee you must be a real hardman, Tradman. Tell us more about your stoic nature while slagging off others. I think you've read too many of Tami's alpine cartoons and treid to model yourself on them.

the britt thing is a joke. Read Joe Simpsons books. he fell off of almost everything he climbed.. read Hammish McGuiness book Call Out. There seems to be an ungodly number of rescues over in scotland. Many of them Britts. Both the victims and the SAR teams seem to be blind drunk in many of them...

That's irony old chap.....
It would be rude of me to suggest that as a nation 'you don't do irony' so for now it's just you ;-)
BTW, Doug Scott fell on a mountain, broke his legs and had to crawl down - he's crap as well.....

this tradman punk
is quite the pompous asse.
its entertaining though to
watch him stroke his swollen ego
in front of god and everyone,
pitching us always sweet, always (copyrighted)
glossies of his ever-valiant,
and supremely first-rate mountain escapades.
you, tradman own the mountain home,
sittin on your self-annoited thrown.
we wankers are just bumblin around
trying to keep pace with you 'trend setters,'
throwing our heads right in the path of ice-fall.
not tradman, no.
he can go all zen whenever and
just disappear hisself
with cool and calm control.

Shackleton was a wanker - he lost his ship. That is an automatic court martial in the Royal Navy and even the US Navy.

Will due respect to former colleagues........
'and even the US Navy'. Is that because they have so many ships they don't know when they've lost one, or that they are just massively 'shite'? ;-)
