Dangerous Sports Equipment

We visited a Joe Brown's mountaineering outlet in Llanberis has week as Hay was looking for some walking trousers.

I wasn't much impressed with the price of the stuff on offer - although I did like the coloured string these mountaineers use to help get themselves up mountains.

When I was young, you had rudimentary things that you hammered into rock fissures, but now there are all manner of brilliant accoutrements that make climbing a sheer, rock face as easy as pie.

I was, however, rather concerned by some really aggressive Trotsky killers (ice picks).


How is it possible that certain knives are banned and yet these vicious things are on open sale?
