OK, Don't Fear The Whipper is really funny and a little creepy, Zay. And I love how they play drums on the hexes.

Weird Al Yankovic is one of my favorites...and you're right, Tradmanclimbs, that TRH has a great voice.

2. Top ropeing big roofs is just plain st00pid. Great way to cut your rope and get hurt.

Uh, no.

Bale. I thought that was a great touch! My personal fav is the dudes that bring a brand new shiny 2k trad rack to the crag and hang it from a tree branch next to their pile of sh#t while they top rope all day...

I once saw a man bring a portaledge to the crag so he could have a place to nap in between belays. He hung it from a tree.

Nothing wrong with top ropeing. in fact if I did more of it I would undoubtedly be a much better climber. Just don't take it so seriously that you start to think it actually means anything other than training.. And yes the video is freaking funny :)
