So what you're saying is, the majority of climbers who responded to this post are (The word I want to use will get me banned, starts with a 'p') who can only overcome their fear by drowning it in substances. How pathetic! Climb sober and see what happens. :O)
Funny how you ask a question just to lash out at the people who disagree. Do you wonder what I think is pathetic? Your troll that went lame and the anger you display at having it not go your way. |

| While I usually don't condone the use of drugs or alcohol in anyway....I usually climb at least 3 grades higher while on PCP (like 5.6 to 5.9), so in that instance it is ok. Otherwise to the OP, it is not your business how stupid other people are acting if it does not affect you personally. |

No anger. No judgment (other than safety concerns). I was just curious. Seems ya'll read waaaaaay too into this question. Actually, I'm curious about what you originally wanted to comment....the raunchier the better!

| Lisa,
you are too serious, go get high then respond...
i was kidding when i spoke of being scared on a route / take drugs.
btw, i climb sober, and sober with a beer now and then.
(the beer is for tasting purposes, not to get drunk...)
do you enjoy taste? do you ever go to a bar or restraunt,
have a beer with friends, then drive your car home?
what is the difference of driving home, and having a beer
(for taste) while belaying? |

I call BS on the no judgment and that you are simply curious. You edited your initial post, which included a question to the effect of "who do you report these people to?" Implied in that question is that you would, and believe it is right to, report people for behavior you deem improper or "unsafe." Thus, you have already made a judgment on such behavior.
As for your alleged concern about safety, that is a thinly veiled attempt at covering up what you really mean, that you think such behavior is improper.
Everyone has their own acceptable levels of risk in climbing, so stop worrying about others choices when they have no impact on your own safety.
I think Boissal answered your "question" pretty well. |

| Reminds me of the time in the mid '70s, I was driving a pickup truck through the Texas night, having swallowed a purple microdot shortly before starting my shift as driver. With a bunch of underclassmen under the shell in back, asleep, I spoke with the college woman who had joined us in S Mo. Eventually, the subject of drugs came up- she was pretty sure they were all very bad. She didn't believe me when I said that acid wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. I said that I could be trippin' my balls off at that very moment, (which I was,thank you very much!)and she wouldn't even know! She was absolutely sure-she would know if I were tripping... |

Just because a climber smokes pot or has a couple beers doesn't NECESSARILY mean he or she is a bad belay. I've had bad belays from a couple of you strait edges too. I have stoner friends I trust my life to regularly. A good belayer should be vigilant at all times so don't lose your break hand to light a bowl... Just wait till your climber's back down. You shouldn't be "Bogarting" that bowl anyway. I will say some people are more likely to "space out" than others. It effects everyone differently. I love beer and i believe it makes many things better... Including a sunny day cragging. Obviously don't climb or belay drunk... But a couple beers throughout the day? Totally cool with me. |

If you run away from the conversation how will I discuss my raunchy comment that you are so anxious to hear about? Obviously, you must really not be that interested in what people have to say if their opinion differs from yours. And I thought that narrow minded people such as yourself had gumption, not in this case I guess. Never have I seen a troll run from the mess they created, usually that is part of the fun. I guess two opinions is one too many for your small mind. |

| I know people who are totally on top of their game when high and others who are down right stupid. One guy I used to climb with, weed was his coffee, he got totally jazzed and focused while high, another guy was totally in another world and couldn't do shit.
Know your belayor.
