Good post Mick...sounds like a lesson well learned.

Regarding doing REALLY dumb things, it is not limited to young climbers.

I'm celebrating my two year old "second birthday." Forget the experience I developed in the preceding 69 years.

I posted a thread about it but to make a long story short....I rapped off of a ridiculously faded piece of webbing that cut thru like butter. Only clipping a nearby webbing knot jammed into friable sandstone saved my life.

I''ve survived forty plus expeditions in the World's knarliest alpine terrain and I do something dumb like that.

The lesson learned is....don't rest on your laurels . Rock climbing can be very safe BUT gravity lurks on every climb and requires constant vigilance to keep it at bay.

Todd is offended by the age thing, but stupid is stupid at any age.

Wasting public resources as a result should be remedied from the bold leader's wallet, but of course, won't be.

From the sound of things nothing was wasted. Everything was gained.
Glad you're okay Mister M.
Climb on!
