OK, I got a totally gumby question for you guys, what the hell is the deal with Ham Sandwiches? Is it a reference to anything in particular, or is it just one of those things that started because everybody knows how good a ham sandwich is and now its funny to talk about?
Speaking of Ham Sandwiches, I am going to go make me one right now.

The ham sandwich energy boost only works if the ham is honey-cured. All that extra sugar gives me quite a buzz, and then it's onsite time!

Ham sammies give you the boost you need to crank through that 5.6 crux without disturbing the hex at your waist.

Ham sammiches are eaten because they are the primary diet of Trad climbers. Easy to fix, plenty of satisfaction, and reliable.
Sport climbers eat Tofu, are Vegans, or are too busy and don't eat.
Boulders eat PB&J, candy bars, and kids menu items because they haven't grown up yet.
Essentially, Ham sammiches are for grown ups. 8^)

ham sammiches are great. I just hear the "clonk clonk" of a real trad rack in the distance and I start to salivate.

What is different between this post and the previous one???
In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: ....and in emergencies you sling a few around your harness.... faced with a dire situation you reach down for one and either take a few bites or throw it in the crack.... are they passive or active and what do you sling them with? ....oh, very passive.... work as a great substitute for hexes.... just drill a hole through the middle, like you would a regular christmas cake, thread some tubular webbing through and tie with a BEER KNOT....
Beer knot.... Beer knot. Clown!!!
Didn't they teach you that in intro to sammiches for climbing??? Beer knot for trad climbing...

Most trad climbers keep a ham sammich or two in their pocket for emergencies. I also carry a backup in the top of my pack just in case I drop the others.
I know one partner who preferred to 'carry hers in her stomach.' She was ALWAYS bumming a bite of mine at the belays. And SHE was JEWISH!
Such is the importance of ham sammiches in tard climbing.
