Bad accident at the crest

[bike]

I built MOMD and was sad to here of an accident on a route I established.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lois.

If you would like to place a plaque. I would have no problem with you doing so. It would also act as a reminder to others to be safe.

My suggestion would be a plaque or memorial by the tree that she came to rest upon. Perhaps a plaque directly on the climb may make some climbers a little less likely to use the climb, and change the atmosphere of the Crest some what. Only my opinion, not necessarily the opinion of all climbers.

Every time I'm roping up at the base of exasperator I definitely think twice about safety. Those that don't know some one got dropped there are more likely to repeat past mistakes.

People need to realize that climbing IS a dangerous sport and mistakes are way too costly. It can happen to you.

Condolences to the friends and family. A plaque is a good memorial and may serve to prevent similar problems in the future.

A plaque is a good memorial and may serve to prevent similar problems in the future.

How about actual signs at the different climbing areas saying 'Be careful!'. I know that, people should already know this, however people do forget. Perhaps when people see the signs before they climb, it will actually make them think about safety first?

Just my 2 cents.

There is plenty of room to place it on the bottom as well.
I think what ever the family/friends do will be just fine.
