Plaidman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Climbing ice is flat out dangerous. but dying while "river rafting" and not wearing a PFD is even dumber. Especially is you have a rack of gear on you. Sink right to the bottom you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend_Climberz Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Climbing ice is flat out dangerous. However, crossing the Wenatchee river in a 30$ raft in the dark without very careful scouting during daylight is even more dangerous. If you do something like cross rivers to get to avalanche threatened ice climbs this season, PLEASE scout the crossing during daylight hours, wear a PFD and a helmet during your transit across the water, and come back alive. Dying whilst ice climbing is dumb, but dying while "river rafting" and not wearing a PFD is even dumber. Yeah I read a news article from last year about some idiots doing that.

G-spotter Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Rafts are aid are you a climber or a boater? This is the way to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaidman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Did you set up that zip line G-spotter? Edited December 3, 2010 by Plaidman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Don't be fucking ridiculous: that's a chairlift, not a zipline. It even used to have a chairlift seat on it until it was deemed hazardous and taken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
