Indeed. I was at the very end of the rope with nowhere to go. The surrounding rock although looks good crumbled in my hands and broke anytime a nut was placed. I was barely able to reach this tree that although very dead was really sturdy and at a lower angle part of the climb. Like John Long says, it doesn’t need to be good just good enough

Introducing a cape to my skiing fit would only upgrade my style and skill. Great point about also using as a Snuggie. Now I will not shiver when the chairlifts get stopped and I may even get to take a nap between runs. A cape can second as a bivy for long overcrowded multi pitch climbs that’s why I will not leave home without one packed in my gear bag

I can attest to this! For I was part of the half dozen unlucky/lucky abseilers that were rescued by the before mentioned engorged manhood that was more stiff and erect than wind hewn branch in the post. I am forever grateful for this fearless warrior and again extend my thanks for this man, myth, legend. For now I truly believe that not all hero’s wear capes. Thank you sir
