worst near accidents I've seen |

I was leading a route out on Orroral Ridge 2 years or so ago, wife belaying. The route was easy, and followed a big flake up and left. The guide description however put doubt in my mind as it included the phrase 'known to be the home of a large and aggressive brown snake'. It was years ago, but, you never know. Could be an ancestral brown snake home.
Anyway, far enough up that I could hurt myself Bec says in her worried voice 'Evan, come down right now. Do it quickly and do not fall. I mean right now. Like now.'
And so I reversed the moves and was standing next to her wondering what was going on? I was getting belayed off a gear loop.
I've also seen a pig wandering through a village in Laos. Big bloody pig. We'd heard about how dangerous coconut trees were and the ground was littered with them. Then, as we were watching a coconut of literally 4kg fell from about 20m and landed not more than 6 inches in front of the pig's snout. Would have dropped him stone dead in an instant. He poked the nut with his snout and kept moving. |
