Hi DaveDave,

Thanks for sharing!

Ye gods, if even if half of this is true, I reckon clusterf..k is about as "constructive" an opinion you'll get on here...

Besides the rapping and trying to Tyrolean on single strand of 6mm accessory cord ( really? No, seriously, really???), another biggie is the burn injury being assessed as "minor" , so the day could go on. Wtf?

Burns are likely to have increased swelling, and probably blistering in the following hours. So why would you think it'll be ok to use intensively by climbing on it for the rest of the day, on harsh, salt covered rock, instead of bailing to seek medical treatment? They weren't half way up some alpine wall. I'm very suspicious the "experienced" members of the party "helped" make this call, just so everyone's Xmas day wouldn't be ruined. No wonder the injured climber needed hauling...
