Groundfl at the load

It has been a week or two but there were some kids from Florida at the load and I witnessed my first groundfall. It had to be belayer failure but I called 911 and was really impressed by how quickly response arrived. Still it was a fucked up experience. The guy fell from the 5th bolt of chainsaw on the last pitch of their last day. Not good

Wow. That's frightening. I hope the kid's okay. Just goes to show that not just anyone can be trusted to belay you.

It just goes to show you that fucked up shit happens no matter who's belaying you. None of us are immune to a gound fall.

Damn it, Pigsteak! No one is supposed to know about my other troll, "Meadows." Thanks ... you ruined my fun. I should retire too. Wait, am I posting to myself? I am so confused!
