Thread: WHEN THINGs GO WRONG AND YOU END UP PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE

Wow
Much of what I would contribute has already been said. I will point out that last night I watched a movie called ‘Fall’. It is about climbing and the title is self explanatory.

To the OP, after your experience, you may find yourself second guessing yourself. You should not doubt your story telling skills. Your post had me squirming in my seat more than the movie. Even the all caps title didn’t prepare me for what I just read. This has been a stark reminder of how easily it can suddenly go wrong. I thank you for your post and wish you a good recovery.



I also wish to float an idea and see how everyone feels about the idea.

As the OP has stated there is ~2k worth of equipment out there in the bush. The OP cannot go and get it. I can’t help but feel for the guy especially considering it could so easily be me. I would be happy to pledge say $20-50 reward to the person (or a charity of their choice) who does find it and returns it to the OP. If enough of us pitch in it would be a worthwhile exercise for the finder.
The key would be keeping it honest and making sure the location of the gear wasn’t disseminated to anyone who might just keep it for themselves. What say you all?.
