Well have to agree with you there dskoon! Panic seemed to set in from the very beginning!
Mike- yes- certainly aware I am missing a lot of history. Folks go out a climb challenging peaks and routes on a regular basis, seem to have pretty soft skin when they get back home. I guess I will just never understand why they take things so personally, and let it get to them more than 5 minutes. Or go whining to mommy elf. Or hold a grudge and let it bother them next time around either.
