Wasnt directed at you Wendy. You admitted further up that people do dumb things sometimes or rather, everyone has done something out of line.

It was more (well I interpret it as more) directed at people making bold statements that every single risk in a "good" climbers life is assessed, calculated, validated, processed (edit:) and negated during every moment of a climb. That apparent attitude is what gets to me and I think K as well.

Noone, at least certainly not me, is arguing that there are lessons to be learnt and things could be done better.

What Im saying is... I bet you follow any single climber around for a year with a video camera and you will spot something which a thread like this could be started on should the crap have hit the fan.

Definitely would be better to have less injuries in the future as opposed to now or the past. Think we are mostly in agreement
