Pretty heavy. As you know climbing is high consequence stuff, even if most of the time it is low risk (certainly cragging anyways). Perhaps the most dangerous time of our climbing lives is when we cut corners, become complacent or forget to look where we step...
One thing is certain, however, that whether we give up climbing before it kills us or not, we all die eventually so we might as well do something that we enjoy.
Perhaps your radar is more attuned to people of your age losing their lives, when on balance the stats probably favour inexperienced people dying(?) |
