After the rocks, the throats are easy.

What we climb are mole/ant hills compared to where she was but my gloves have split fingers so that only the top of the fingers are covered. For me it’s a confidence and touch issue. Guess it’s a good I never wanted to be a surgeon.

Because, as NMH will tell you, that’s what men do.

I do wonder how cold it was - in temperate climates rock climbers prefer bare hands but they also use chalk for better grip - at popular climbing sites you can work your way up following the chalk marks - like breadcrumbs! ;-)

I don’t climb, but it probably has something do with tactility. Bare fingers can feel and grip better than with gloves on. Of course gloves are used for rapelling.

Sarah is a tough lady who isn’t afraid to break a nail. I think the next time she does this she ought to invite the porker Rove along. He would not have a clue how to negotiate a wilderness.
