Fuching loose shit at point perp this weekend 30-Sep-2014 At 1:25:17 PM PThomson

And here's a photo of the finale from the previous trip I did to Point Perp, and how it ends if someone makes a mistake (despite these two being HIGHLY experienced and very strong climbers, attempting a route that isn't dangerous at all).

Speaking the Site Manager for the Defence Force while this rescue was taking place, one of the profound things he said to me was some like: "despite all the people coming here with a death wish and doing all the wrong things, somehow there's never been an accident to this scale on the range. There will be fallout from it, once the resulting investigation is completed."

Thanks muchly to the continuing train of clueless bumblies at the Point for doing their best to ensure whatever ramifications do eventuate, they're the hashest they can possibly be.
