haireball Posted June 3, 2001 Posted June 3, 2001 ScottP A mistake isn't stupid until you make it the second or third time -- which it sounds like you probably won't. My "learning experiences" have included a ring-bend on a swiss-seat untieing itself mid-rappel (1971); and my favorite - completing the crux 1-1/4" crack on Centerpiece (Mt. Lemon, Tucson, Az), & letting go with both hands to shake out before anchoring on the ledge (logged a forty-footer, had to do the 20' crux section a second time, and scared the brown out of my belayer - most embarrassing!(1978) That's two for free, fair trade for your post. Wanna hear more, it'll cost you beer. Keep climbing! Quote

Hmmm... In my dictionary, it is a stupid mistake if you have the knowlwedge and skill to know better. In both instances, I did. What was missing was a lack of concern due to the circumstances. Quote
