A bunch of pigeons objected to our climbing at a crag.

  • A bunch of pigeons objected to our at a crag. They weren't content to try to shit on us, they were trying to kill us by repeatedly trying to drop rocks on our heads.

    This is why I don't get people who don't wear helmets when climbing outdoors. Even if you are a 9c+ conquering Spider-person who never ever makes a mistake, merciless nature is out to get you.

    @dare@kamu.social I was climbing a neat free standing pinnacle at my local crag and was about to reach the anchors when I looked up and saw a turkey vulture's head peering over the edge at me.

    Luckily there wasn't a nest at the top or anything, it was genuinely curious about this crazy human climbing rocks, and flew away soon after 😄

    @devnull Yikes. Hope it wasn't like at a crux move on a serious route, because I'd imagine a surprise vulture would really mess up one's concentration. 😅

    The Sphinx, a snow patch on Braeriach that was famous for decades for surviving year-round, has melted in recent days. This is the fourth consecutive year that it has completely vanished by autumn. https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=775431
