you know you have had them. fukin a.
i had one just yesterday. but i will tell of another fukup that i walked away from: after climbing a long iceclimb my buddy and i wandered towards the descent trail. well. we didnt wander enough before we headed down. managed to downclimb and slide down part of some steep slabs. that was about the time we realized we were over a cliff. we were fucked. we couldnt climb back up because the snow released off the fukin slabs and people cant climb frictiony granite when its slick while wearing crampons. physics and shit prohibits it. so we gotta climb down a little further to a tree to rap from. on that granite coated with a dusting of snow --the wind slab we released had wiped off the whole area. no shit we made it cuase i am writing this now. and that is the best part of a close call: it werent a bullseye you-dead-now hit.
