I heard that one of Jens's regular partners flunked outta da Mounties.
The Mounties regularly have a graduation rate of something like 1/2 to 2/3. And they do kick out people who have been warned about fitness, safety, etc., and don't get better.
He didn't flunk out. Tell it as it is.
The fact that they did had issue with him yet he continues to complete climbs at a level very few other mounties currently do says a lot about their conclusions.
Level of climbing has nothing to do with safety or survival.
