And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I was bouldering with some folks West of Lake Tahoe. A young lady had completed the climb and negotiated her way down, but decided to jump to the last 3, 4 feet to the pad. Her foot slipped forward on the pad and her lower leg slammed into the lower lip of the rock. Broken tibia. Never can tell; ain't over to its over; etc.
Your friend panics and is stuck on a rock. You're thinking is it is a photo opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHe's not very high, when he loses his grip on the crack & falls you may have a great picture!
DeleteNow that might be something that I'd try. The fall does not appear to be deadly.

DeletePosed. He had to stay still several seconds to not blur like the background. Kudos for the strength to hold the pose.
ReplyDeleteOr, open shutter for the star streak, and a flash for the climber.
