From his website:

"Due to the dangerous nature of the sport, insurance is not an option. A relaese of liabilty must be signed and returned before any trips commence. The necessary waiver can be viewed and printed here. "

Does he guide without insurance?

HAHAHA, bdaddy (anonymous intenrt wankabe) believes that exiting a 7 foot roof to a vertical wall is a gully? He must have learned his stuff from the guy in Texas.

When I set up my triangle top rope anchors I make sure to use frictionless pulleys, other than that he is good to go!

Now that I think about it- most of the sketchy anchors I've seen at the crags involve olive-drab colored webbing.

Coincidence?

I don't think it is a troll he has a website up and running. The guy apparently wants to live the dream.

His resume'is pretty classic, a hike up Kilimanjaro and free climbing at a couple crags in CO.


The more I look at his website I'll bet he is climbing and guiding for GOD.

whoa. I almost couldn't look.

SRENE. I think he missed a few letters. The faux rolex was a dead giveaway...

If you're using the internet to figure out how to set a toprope anchor, you're just waiting in line to prove Darwin right to begin with.

Still, as someone pointed out earlier, any climbing accident does a disservice to the entire climbing community. Unless of course its this guy...

Ahhhh, his videos are all gone from Youtube and Expertvillage. I was trying to show someone how great they were. Should have made copies. :(
