A great article. Demonstrates that University outdoor programs can be a good thing. Not just a bunch of kids in a van taking over Fortress / Roadside.

"Accidents happen sometimes, but they don't have to," he said. "I have fallen off rocks before, but my partner had me stabilized correctly, and I didn't feel at risk. You really can't worry about getting the best equipment - you have to get good instruction. Learn how to do things right the first time, and accidents like these won't happen." --Woodford, the WFR

AMEN. He could have posted on the gri-gri teaches bad habits posting.
