Ed Vestras rule: “Going up is optional, coming down is mandatory”
Mountaineers should pack small sleds in their backpacks. Might help a few of them.
I’m watching gplf today, last game of FedEx cup. Who neeeds to climb mountains? Plenty of excitement right on the ground.
What a stupid sport.
It seems like most deadly accidents happens on descent.
People are exhausted, an trying to hurry up to get down.
E.G. during first climb of Matterhorn most of the party perished on descent. They found somebody just recently.
