every so often you'll hear on the news...joe blow...worlds best free climber. Look at him go up that shear face with out ropes or safety gear. Anybody who does that, besides being outright stupid, must think themselves the perfect human, infallible, beyond reproach, devoid of any imperfections that plagues every other human.
One misstep, one slip of the finger and you're dead. It may be a few years later but sooner or later you'll hear...whoops....joe slipped and now he's a splot at the base of a mountain. Poor joe...he was just too dumb to stay alive. The ultimate short.
What's that you say...lion whisperer is now lion poop.
It'll happen...one day.
