“Climbers” almost die

January 7th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

I hate it when the ‘press’ calls anybody on the side of a hill a climber.  It just makes real climbers, those with training and proper safety gear, look very bad.

These morons are fairly high up, and walking on what appears  to be nothing but loose dirt and boulders.  I see helmets, rope, and other gear that can, and apparently should have, been used.  But it’s all clipped to their harnesses.  Pretty usefull there… NOT
