Could have been worse. Might have been Mr Bolam.

Some great tales on here, really enjoyed reading through them all! Just to clarify on the box cut/ears, do you put the side cuts just below the back cut or same level?

The only time I got really sh1t scared was after installing my rope in a big silver maple, stated up it and heard some scratching noise near my anchor point, a female raccoon with babies! I got the freck outta there! Dangerous animals!

My scariest moment was a near fall due to fatigue on the Redgarden wall in Eldorado canyon. My wife were on our 5th straight day of climbing. I was 350 feet off the deck and due to fatigue, I was ready to peel off. I looked down and saw the open air and I also saw the runnout I just made. My fall was going to be a 20 footer...so long as the last piece held. I had no reason to believe that first piece was going to pop, but if it did, it was going to be a doozie! I pulled into the move, my mind messed with me and then I down climbed to a solid stance. I was psyching my mind out at the same time fatigue was getting deeper. I gave it all I had, grunting and pulled to the ledge the 2nd try. After taking a deep breath, I built an anchor and brought my wife up to the ledge. When she arrived we took a nice rest looking over the valley floor.

 

That was my scariest climb....

Had to climb and section this down before it could be winched over.

The stem of one of the limbs landed and kicked the base. Defiantly scariest climbing moment.

King Alfred's cake is saprophytic so how come it turned into a fell? Was the tree dead?
