yeah...ok..other peoples views on danger an all that stuff is great, but at the end of the day this sort of post-fact analysis of what *may* or *maynot* have helped then dissing them cos you think they is stupoid is a tad pointless.

Perhaps it all sevrves as one of those fantastic timely reminders that we all diligently read, ponificate over...then promptly forget...tell someone where youre going and how long you'll be, dont forget to tie a knot in your ab ropes, dont over cam, wear a helmet (i really must get one) wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a car, eat lots of bran, wear sun block, dont trade while insolvent, dont wank or you'll go blind...blah...blah...blah

i mean really, does anyone really benifit from all this. if only he had a sat phone!

this is a great story and will enter into climbing folklore (he gets 10/10 from me).......but my monies on it happening again.....cant seem to see the keyboard...looossing fukus....

Oweng, mate you can read heaps into peoples opinions if you dont know the contex, i know i do!!
and i like youre idea of the Climber knife..but i hope i never need one...YIKES!

cheers chaps and chapets
