While At The Feathers (Vantage WA)
Two guys, on the climb to the right, take their brand new rope out of it's plastic bag and throw it down onto a tarp. One of them grabs an end and ties in. I turn to Jennifer and say:
"Remember I told you what to do with a new rope? And you asked me if that was necessary? Well just watch this and you'll see why. I'm guessing the 3rd bolt."
Sure enough by the time the climber had reached the 3rd bolt the rope was a tangled mess.

Another moment at the Feathers:
We're rock climbing all the routes one by one from right to left and I'm 2 bolts into one of them when a young woman looks over to me and asks:
"What climb are you on?"
Having no idea, I quietly look at her, glance briefly to my right, then briefly to my left and say:
"This one?"
