Julien 'trundle' definition

To trundle (verb) origin from NZ which means to get to the top of a mountain or big cliff and find the biggest rock you are capapble of carrying. It can be an individual event or team (bigger rocks). Walk to the edge and throw rock down cliff and watch it. Timing the fall is optional but it will provide an estimate of the cliff ... See Moreheight. NZ mountaineering guides are regarded as expert at this sport. Although it contradict any previous climbing ethics, it promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and provides a good laugh. It also provides a good indication of where your climbing partner's body will end up if she or he comes off the climb.
Happy trundling!!!
