I stayed home last weekend to catch up on work.
The weird thing about the three cragging accidents this past weekend is all were a stone's throw from the road.
No one got hurt in the alpine (in the WA Cascades), where we think of things being much more dangerous. I think it's all just random luck, though my mom might say, "bad things happen in threes."
This is also the time of the year when hikers start venturing out again, and it was the first sunny weekend in weeks. But Monday morning rolled around and no news stories of hikers overdue or injured on Si, Pilchuk, etc.
There was an avalanche and heli-evac in Garibaldi Park, but it wasn't cc.commers involved. Well, the CORE GROUP anyways.
