>Nothing new under the sun -#1221

Those muscular types who think these newfangled climbing walls are a recent invention are way off the mark.

Toeholds provided in the form of the crest of someone important.

Arrows and boiling oil courtesy of the inhabitants.

Sorts out the men from the ~~girls~~ boys
