Overwhelmingly walkers with a couple of climbers from that lot. Mind you, they do cover Snowdon.
UK stats for 2011
Walkers 67% incidents
Climbers roped 6% incidents
Climbers unroped 0.6% incidents
Mountain Biking 8.6% incidents
As much as I think they are fools which is my opinion it does look great almost what it would feel like to be a dream state cos that's the only way I'm ever going out on ledge like that ..I may do things they think are foolish and they probably do !
wearing a rope could avoid all this rescuing if it should be needed...what do I know we used Mountain rescue this year with my 4yr old in the Lakes
ah HAH! so his 800 hours per year climbing with no rope = no call outs
but your one afternoon with your four year old in the hills and no rope necessitated a call out.. who's the higher risk here..!!!?
I guess the lesson to be learned from this is make sure that you're roped in at all times..
I'm just off upstairs for a wee.. 😉

To be honest, the best way to reduce the strain on unnecessary call outs is for people to learn map and compass.

The Gullich picture....He had a mat underneath him so it should have been ok 😆
very impressive (until they make a mistake...)
I'm not sure a lot of people were paying attention to the article:
In fact, while we’re at it, there are a few misconceptions about free soloing that he’d like to address. Firstly, he only free solos a few times a year — most of the time he uses ropes like everyone else
He only 'free solos' on the odd occasion.
😳 oh.. I'll get my coat
Hey thanks for posting that excellent Esquire article. Really good read.
I have the First Ascent series on DVD, the first episode is dedicated to Honnold's Half Dome free climb. The others are pretty amazing too. See here...
