"You think I was f*#kin' around?"

Hahahaha!

Somewhere, at this very moment, someone is climbing and doing something stoopid.

But are there any of us who didn't do a bunch of stupid stuff when we were starting out?

But how is it excusable today with so much access to the huge body of work of the Darwin

I wish I could confine it to just then. I still catch myself, after 47 years, trying to die by making a mistake "only a beginner would make." Sad to say, I've lost experienced friends who weren't as lucky.

The was a time not that long ago where you never saw any climbing footage now it is available so often that I usually don't look. Writing on the other hand is hard to come by specially when accomanied by good pics.
