Thanks for prevailing safety.
Such nerves soon leads to faint body of existence though.

What I am amazed from the serious climbers is their perseverance and goal orientation, when is covered by umbrella of safety. Looking at guys who for instant climb El Capitain in Yosemite (You remember this from "Close encounters of the third kind - 1977") that is about 1 Km vertical rock and takes 3 days and nights to climb fully (of course if not adversely shortened the other direction), as to how they do their other things, you know what???!!!
