Take care out there 7-Apr-2004 At 3:18:34 PM The Elk

Just a friendly reminder to take extra special care out there over the big Easter break. Rock sees more traffic over these breaks, and it seems more people increase the chances of mistakes, so keep an eye out, climb careful, it'd be awsome to have an incident free Easter.

Just cos you might be climbing a "moderate" grade doesn't disqualify you for falls and injuries... be warey, use that gear hanging off your harness, clip all those bolts... same old warnings I guess... but having survived a ground fall (even if it was from a relatively small height) I've suffered the last 9 months through continued medical appointments, and pain, never completely likely to heal... I can say that I am very lucky.

Have fun, crank hard, but be safe!
