People are bad at lots of things. Safety included. Priorities get crooked, and mostly folks just plain aren't educated in how to stay alive. Climbing is a shining example of the "safety third" mentality. The moral of the story is to get out there and find someone who can tell you how to do it all without getting hurt hurt or dying. Also, even if you've done it a thousand times, be careful. A fraction of a second of distraction is all too often fatal. Look at the big picture, and listen to your gut. If it looks icky, it's wrong.

Jankety-Ass Anchors are back!!

I'm back in Ouray, and sure enough, so are the melon-heads that build shitty anchors. I'll be here for the next month or so, so check back often for more fodder; the getting is good this year, and I predict a bountiful harvest of shiest.  Also, Hatemachine isn't planning on reviewing any anchors this year.  Ah, well.  Have a great ice/ski season, and be safe.
