Where is the line drawn between a clever tactic and cheating? The evolution of climbing tactics and trickery is constantly evolving, generation to generation. When has it gone too far though? In this episode Helen Day and Lee Cujes join Tom and Amanda to discuss s few current trends and where the line is for us.

Episode Description

I'm almost certain many of you have done one or all of these things. A generation ago, employing some of these tactics may have resulted in being chased out of the crag. Perhaps there are still a few strong holds which keep the torch burning in a quest for pure ascents. The question is, do these tactics sit within the lines of fair play or have we pushed the boat out too far? Are those who shun these ideas just the beard stroking class of yesteryear, too lost in tearing people down to actually evolve with the times. Or is there legitimacy to their cries.

Helping the Baffle Days team to unpack our chosen ethical quagmires is Lee Cujes and Helen Day.
