Potential for serious injury. I talked him into calmly traversing the choss and to get back on his route. Then he proceeded to put his finger through the bolt (for which i yelled at him). Somehow he made it up and down the route w/o injury.
Same guy an hour later is telling his friends that if you send up an ATC to a climber that forgot theirs you must wrap it in a sweat shirt to protect the ATC from being damaged. He explained that if the ATC is scratched that it is no good and you can no longer use it. Nothing I could say would convince him otherwise.
It's kinda scary to be climbing next to a man who put himself into TWO very dangerous situations - doesn't realize it - and then thinks something is dangerous when it's really perfectly safe.
sigh.
Wow. I'd say that guy has about a 50/50 chance of being alive by 2013.

Cash is an
American icon. We are all
Johnny fans. This includes Central and South America, Canada, and the Caribbean, so yeah, Ian and I are in too. Sorry to speak for you Ian, but be warned, if you balk at this one, you might as well say that you hate kids and torture pets.
