That calculation would be ballpark consistent with John Dill's (probably outdated) analysis of accidents in Yosemite, which would place the odds of dying at about 1 death per every 10,000-20,000 days climbing. Obviously the odds of just breaking an ankle or injuring yourself more generally are much higher, as ODH points out. http://jrre.org/stayalive.pdf
