Hindsights great innit.
i am pretty sure nearly every one of us has done something similiar to the situation that lead to this accident. Traversing across a ledge unroped ( who ropes up for the traverse out The Eternity P1 belay when rapping down?, getting to the Cave Climb rap in at Narrowneck , down climbing to the Curtain Call rap at Pidddo, descending to the base of Sweet Dreams at Sublime Point , descending the Fishos ladders at North Head)
Pretty well everyone knows what we should do but who hasn't taken a short cut at some point. So maybe some people need to get off the high horse a bit and look at their own actions and think themselves lucky that nothing serious happened as a result their own little shortcuts.
Hope the recovery goes well and they continue to climb on nice sound rock. Probably means that the Bluies is out for them in the future though.
