@LarsOsborne @EvanDaniel are you two gonna have an Epic on a work night?
(Jk, I realize this is just a single pitch at a roadside crag)
@Qoiuoiuoiu Apparently, a bit before 7PM :)
We got there, a couple other folks were on the route, so we waited a bit. Lars and I both did a lap on top rope, then I sent it on gear. Light was fading as I was lowering off, but I didn't need the headlamp.
@snazzlePop Sadly, Evan has a job.
His belayer (me) also has a job and a meeting that is supposed to end at 5pm.
@LarsOsborne got it.
sorry for my double message. I too am a working man, and sometimes my connectivity is spotty.
@Eliza if he does injure himself, this may qualify as insider trading injuries...
Edit: actually maybe not, it has to be "reported on in the major news media". Oh well.
@Eliza Gemini tells me the risk of being in a crash during 100,000 miles driven is 25% and about a 12% chance of injury.
This is less risky than that.
If his protection starts getting run out I will let him know.
@LarsOsborne So perhaps you think it's about comparable to doing a cross-country road trip? I'm okay with betting on that as long as it won't increase the risk of danger.
@EvanDaniel time to put up or shut up!!!
@Eliza Good statistics are very hard to come by (as always). It definitely depends on the details of what you're climbing and what sorts of judgment calls you make and your risk tolerance. My current best guess is that this sort of climbing is hazardous at a level of several micromorts per year, maybe as many as 10, based on number of participants and number of deaths. Risk of injury is higher. I think cross-country road trip is probably a good comparison for death or serious injury rates; climbing definitely has a higher risk of minor to moderate injury.
@EvanDaniel Thank you, this really helps give me a ballpark for where this activity stands. I'm content with my decision to bet less than 100 mana directly against you in this endeavor. Good luck!
