CLIMBERS

Wall

rodders  08/Nov/2005

Hi everyone, Went to the wall last night but was turned away because a group of farmers (nothing against farmers!) had just booked in until 10. Well I sent an email to the council via the website to complain about this ludicrous (and me thinks illegal!) rule that individual climbers cannot use the wall if there is a group in. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience(s)?. I have had many, indeed I regularly of found that the wall is booked all day on saturdays, so no one else can use it! I would like this raised at the AGM and if anyone has any views, please email me roddersm@hotmail.com or email those ****ers at the council via the website. I would appreciate any support. I know Pete contacted the council before and got nowhere. But I think there is more of us now and we should keep fighting this. I think it is our responsibility to ensure the needs of local individual climbers are met. Perhaps the MCI can help?

Disclaimer: Climbing is a dangerous activity. Potentially lethal. People can, and do, get killed (usually as a result of a fall). Colmcille Climbing Club (heretoafter referred to as "The Club") and Pete Smith cannot take responsibility if you decide to go climbing and subsequently fall as a result of reading this website. In fact, the last thing we want you to do is fall. That's not to say that we want you to fall, or that we want it to be the last thing that happens to you; what we mean is that we don't want you to fall at all. We don't even want you to go climbing unless you want to: it's your choice. We like going climbing and we think you'll enjoy it too, but if you do go, don't come running to us whingeing if you happen to get hurt. If we said to put your hand in a fire, you wouldn't do it, would you? And if we recommended putting your hand in a fire (which we don't) we would suggest that you wear fireproof gloves and stuff, and that you have a bucket of water nearby. So if you decided to go climbing, we would suggest using ropes and stuff, and having a first aid kit on hand because accidents can and do happen and they're not always fatal. The Club does not have any more accidents than any other organisation that indulges in potentially lethal activities, so it's not down to us. It's not our fault. Gottit?
