Paul Bailey accident

I will send a prayer for him. And

I don't pray that much.

I send a little prayer now and then for his eyes to see

again.

 

I myself from reading this accident determine again to pick the routes that I can place a lot of good pro, at least when cragging. Also, it is my habit to always wear a helmet and chest harness while on lead, I also try to practice down climbing every day I am on top rope. The advantage of the chest harness that hopefully you will stay upright so your legs take the impact. I am reminded to push myself, but in a way that I can look for climbs that will take plenty of protection on lead.

 

Of course in alpine you may not have that option, but hopefully in

locations with less pro, it will have a lower climbing grade.

 

Always some risk in climbing, Pulling for you Paul.
