Nah, just don't get hurt.

yeah, been doing that since I was 11. Fortunately it's worked so far, but I'm playing the odds here. Seeing the fast action on Splatter Matt by Stacy got me thinking more clearly about it, and this year I've been trying to get into a Foster Calm WFA class. Bobbie is highly recommended. I bet you remember that name.

I just started reading this thread and started to get upset that someone just got hurt. Then I realized that this was from a few years back.  The climbing magazine article was good.  Didn't Brad say something about never climbing at Pinnacles again?

No I didn't and wouldn't say that.

What isn't super clear from the article is that Lars was terribly hurt twice in two decades the only two times he's been at this same project. I won't ever go back to that project - it seems jinxed. And I'm glad Lars isn't going back to it too.

Is this the same article?

But as Brad stated, it was not a climbing accident!

Glad all turned out well in the end.
I'm not worthy.
