I understand that this forum is about armchair climbers talking with each other which I am now one of. But people how can we start judging Sean and what he has done. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I'm sure if this fella had his time again belaying he would do things differently.

There is a little bit of muppet in everyone. We all make mistakes and a lot of the time we get away with it. I have done plenty of silly things and most of the time I got away with it. However there have been times I haven't. I once abseiled off the end of my rope......and dropped a leader 10 m after loosing control of my device. I saw myself as a competent climber but I made a silly mistake. I was slagged by my then friend who I dropped and by others for making a mistake, most of whom were not there. I am still traumatised by the incident.
Not knowing the full story we should all respect Sean and his actions. Bullying him into making a statement won't work. As a community we should try and learn from this incident and maybe we will learn the full story at some time. Until then don't judge.
