When we saw this we were literally falling over laughing. These images are funny because they're -- unfortunately -- sometimes true.

Warning
Climbing, skiing and mountaineering are dangerous sports. When you undertake an outdoor, backcountry, or an alpine adventure without a guide, you assume total responsibility for your decisions and wellbeing. Conditions in the mountains are constantly changing, and no guidebook or computer web blog can take the place of solid training and experience. Though this site features descriptions of roads, trails, climbing routes, and other natural features, you cannot assume that because something is described here that it has not changed since last observed or that it will be safe for you or your party.
AAI assumes no responsibility or liability for your use of the information presented in this blog. With regard to all backcountry travel and climbing, you must make your own assessments and decisions, and you assume all risks in applying them.

I once had to climb a 75' tree with a chainsaw to trim it - leaving 70' of coiled rope on the ground. Had my (ex)wife belay me and knowing I was roped got WAY out on the ends of some skinny branches. After a while I looked down and she was dutifully belaying me ON THE END of the 70" coil.
