Hy for those of us that call the Gunks our home, that's a pretty incendiary subject line. It's also kind of disprespectful to those involved in real, life or death situations.

Maybe you wanted to get some attention with the subject line, but some of us know many many gunks climbers and seeing a subject line like that can be pretty heart stopping bracing for possible terrible news.

That's actually a pretty creative way to have the climb all to yourself. Cool

People who don't think that someone having a bout of explosive diarrhea, projectile vomiting or both mid-pitch on the rock, and labeling that a "Major Incident" is funny haven't got the sense of humor that climbing is founded upon. This sport is all about morbid and/or toilet humor, and I myself demand a more detailed incident report so future accidents can be avoided:
1) what did they eat? or is Shockley's just really really run-out?
2) through what bowel function did this meal leave the body of said climber(s)?
3) was it the leader, the second, or a team accident?
4) Is the mess awaiting a strong rainstorm on the ground or on the pitch itself?
5) can we in any way blame a gri-gri for this incident?

Worthless without pics. Here's the one of the note linked from the Gunks thread:

So does this mean that some bastard took the note down so the next party would get a surprise???? Sly

Last year I had food poisoning. I thought I was going to die. I take public transportation, and had to get myself home via one bus, two trains and a mile long walk while projectile vomiting. I managed to get off the bus at a major train station and immediately ran to the closest garbage bin to purge all of my inner contents in a very loud and public manner. I could hear people walk by me saying 'Ewwww!!! Gross!!!!' but there was nothing I could do about it!

I then somehow managed to get myself downstairs to the train platform, where I hunched down on the bench in misery and just hoping that I could make it home.

I feel like death. I'm pretty sure that I look and smell like death. But out of nowhere, some guy starts chatting me up... and asks me out on a date???

He was so nice, and I was so flattered, but can you imagine what he would have thought if my stomach let go at that very instant? It would have gone down in his personal history as 'the time a girl puked when I asked her out on a date'. Shocked

Oh. And I always figured it was just me. Frown

The note isn't that great an idea - a lot of us fly by the bulletin board without looking...I only saw the note after I had done the climb. Unsure

But actually, didn't notice anything "wrong." Smile

Oh!!! The note was on the gunks bulletin board? over by the nasty toilet? I thought some wise guy took it home and put it on their own bulletin board!

The note looked to small to me, anyway. They should have taped it to the base of the climb, like last year's note about the angry bee's over by Gelsa. The people actually drew bees with angry faces on them! But I would not have wanted to see any graphics on the Shockley's note.

If the climb was clean - could this just be a joke?

I agree. I was relieved that it wasn't an accident (in the normal sense), but thought it was pretty funny.

I keep seeing this and the 'how to protect slushy couloir' thread listed on the main page. Wires crossed in my head, and I keep getting a really nasty image.

this might be the funniest posting I've ever come across and I of course love the uptight personalities that always find a need to make undue comments to show us just how much smarter they are...

Slushy coulier :-)

I'm pretty confident that a naked vulgarian wouldn't have been offended in the least!!!

It wasn't barf!!! Unimpressed

I certainly hope they weren't doing it Vulgarian style!
