Re: Interesting video
My experience rock climbing has lots of these stories. It's really easy to get sloppy. You wouldn't think so but its true. Last time the anchor was weak and you had to use it. This time you skip the 'extra' gear.  My rule to stop the slide was I always hung over the edge on my anchor. That way I would always have to ask myself, is this strong. One time, I said no and it actually surprised me. One second it "was good enough" and the next "it was junk". It's just so easy. Todd Skinner died because he didn't replace his worn harness and it failed.

On last one, I think the quote is Admiral Nimitz.  "As a sailor you'll make mistakes, as a captain it's your duty to make sure you don't make them all at a single point in time."


Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you.
