Ghastly buisness this.........and heresay is a wonderful thing. No point as they say letting the truth get in the way of a good storey.

Seriously though, I think its really important for there to be a comprehensive record and analysis of climbing accidents. Anyone of you who has read copies of 'Accidents in North American Mountaineering' will atest to this. Learning from other peoples misteaks can be a real life saver givern that the consequence of acting in ignorance or beyond ones ability can be death.
How did that hanger come off the bolt ?
How did Micks rope get cut ? Did he pull a block and chop it ? Poor rope management ? Or does he keep his rope in the boot of the car where that battery leaked acid ? ( No offence mate, I just think its important to know. )

I'm aware of incidences at other locations as well. Any stats on these.
