CLIMBERS

Mission Improbable

AlanTees  27/11/05

There are only 2 ways to get that wet. One is a 3 week sub aqua course, and the other a walk up the Poisoned Glen in November. There was "much at stake" in this mission to retrieve one of Bill's abseil posts from the top of West Buttress (following our jolly Xmas bungee abseil in 2003) I think it was pleased to see me, having been up there 2 years, (even longer than Pete, though it didnt't complain as much and hasn't retired)and is looking forward to being relocated somewhere dryer. I haven't told it, its about to go on top of Ben Cormac as an anchor point for this year's event!

Disclaimer: Climbing is a dangerous activity. Potentially lethal. People can, and do, get killed (usually as a result of a fall). Colmcille Climbing Club (heretoafter referred to as "The Club") and Pete Smith cannot take responsibility if you decide to go climbing and subsequently fall as a result of reading this website. In fact, the last thing we want you to do is fall. That's not to say that we want you to fall, or that we want it to be the last thing that happens to you; what we mean is that we don't want you to fall at all. We don't even want you to go climbing unless you want to: it's your choice. We like going climbing and we think you'll enjoy it too, but if you do go, don't come running to us whingeing if you happen to get hurt. If we said to put your hand in a fire, you wouldn't do it, would you? And if we recommended putting your hand in a fire (which we don't) we would suggest that you wear fireproof gloves and stuff, and that you have a bucket of water nearby. So if you decided to go climbing, we would suggest using ropes and stuff, and having a first aid kit on hand because accidents can and do happen and they're not always fatal. The Club does not have any more accidents than any other organisation that indulges in potentially lethal activities, so it's not down to us. It's not our fault. Gottit?
