Practice what you preach

A regular discussion subject on UKclimbing runs along the lines of does jamming in cracks always hurt? The answer isn't "always", but it is "often". My advice to a beginner a few weeks ago was "stop moaning and bleed". Just so you know that I practice what I preach.

Well spotted. In my rather pathetic defence, I stole it by accident, not on purpose. It does give me some credibility amongst all my honest climbing partners with their paid-for blue IKEA bags. I guess I'm a little bit more chav-esque.
