the slaughter continues...... im in way pointing the blame at anyone person, nore am i completly diverting
the blame from myself. all parties involved are at fault. i do agree that the climbing in a little crowded
gym is a little silly and honestly we shouldnt have, but it being andreas last day in australia we chose to
make that exception and take the risk. shane your post is like the blind leading the severly visualy
impaired. i am in no way saying my technique or myself is perfect, to understand my post that way is a
huge misconception. i think that yes my technique could use work but i also think that the level it is at is
beyond capable and safe. Whoever said that i should have caught him better is full of crap, the fact of
the matter is that andrea was clipping so there was to much rope in the system and i put this down to the
reason he fell so far, it my fault i didn't get out of the way. im going to stop here and ask that this thread
be closed because its turned to member bash rather than a forum
