Not a climber and therefore not familiar with
Climber terms... I am however a past clamper chapter president. Dont know how all of this pertains to the clampers. Note of interest though ... Justice Kennedy Justice Earl Warren and others were/are clampers
Clamping is an old term/concept in belaying technique- the “clamping/stopping” of support rope being the concept.
Wouldn’t be too proud of Earl f’n Warren. Southerners knew and know all about him, tool of FDR and the world socialists.
I mean- Warren writing the majority opinions in landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Reynolds v. Sims (1964), Miranda v. Arizona (1966) and Loving v. Virginia (1967). Warren also led the Warren Commission— a true JOKE, that family refused to participate with, but were forced by LBJ.
In any case as regards Credo quia absurdum est, it is best to use rational methods of perception. As done, for example in clinical forensics and cause of death as opposed to the medieval political “coroner” or the crown’s man. 1849 that “society” , sure you know that.
