While unclipping the last bolt he remained clipped into girlyfriend and drug her across the boulder at the base.

I always figured it was the belayer's responsibility to move directly under the last bolt. Kind of a courtesy to the climber as well.

What does that have to do with the climber's failure to undo the tram before letting go?

me attempting to climb a 14teener (ellingwood arete and humboldt) a few days ago. ice and snow , 60 mph winds on the saddle, no rope, no crampons, then liners and socks on my hands for gloves..but ihad my ice axe (although I have never used one before)..

yes, I have no business in the mountains.

I retreated scared out of my mind...should have stayed in the parking lot....

Imagine a boom box in the background bouncing between techno and some hippy crap....

"Dude you are at the tricky part!"... "Dude, I can't beleive how fast you climbed through the tricky part"
