Whilst halfway up that arete in the back of Ilkley quarry (Guillotine??):Little Boy: "Daddy will that man hurt himself if he falls off there?"Daddy: "No son he will probably DIE"
I was once asked by one of two walkers on the way up to Cratcliffe- "is that some kind of tripod?"
when asked about my crashpad, I often reply that I am narcoleptic.

Are we talking at cross purposes? I had a bouldering mat, which they thought was some kind of tripod.

Can't remember where I heard this but:Random stranger "What's that thing on your back for"Boulderer "It's in case I fall off when I'm climbing"Random Stranger (after a brief pause to think about it) "What happens if you fall on your front?"
Once someone asked if my pad was a mobile disco , is that what one looks like?
