Any climb that had another party on it at the same time.

So, Braille Book I guess. That's all I can think of...

BeforeAfter:all of the hanging ice fell. The real question is: If a couple of huge trees fall in some 60 mile an hour winds and 60° temperatures above a cave in the forest with ice a bunch of 60-80 foot ice pillars on it that also fall and no one is around, does anyone hear it?

Mike: The first pitch of the cave is as great as the second is bad.
You traverse to the "cave"- Set up with some locker hand jams and then you cut loose and pull over--Best move i ever did at DT. Make sure some one is there with a camera

Climbed one day at the Bellefonte Quarry in PA long time back- buzz sawed crack, lots of poison ivy, dead dog in the pond, mullets, pretty bad outing altogether.

Worst ever? Gotta be this hunk on the Escarpment outside of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After I reached the sumwhat, the belay ledge fell out from under my second. The worst limestone I've ever seen.

Carolyn's Rump in Joshua Tree. Nastiest chimney every, full of guano, no pro, just horrid. I'll never forgive my g/f for making me lead it.

Ripcord in Vegas. I took off a 300 lb chunk which wacked me. Broken Calcaneous, crack ribs, and lacerated liver put me in ICU for an afternoon.

I remember that dog. We got him out of the water and buried him. And it was a Stihl demo saw. Geez.
