Well once I was half way up a messed up 2 pitch sport slab climb. It started to rain. We rappelled off. It was scary. I thought I was going to die. I saw my life flash before my eyes.

Slab is scarey!!! I once heard of a guy whose feet slipped out from under him. His body fell forward, he neglected to brace himself with his arms and he fell on his chin... and bit his dang tongue off and scraped all the flesh off of his chin. Yowch!! If you really really have an epic, write and submit, write and submit, write and submit... [crack of whip sound]
Okay, I'm off to Italy!! Ciao :P
Gina
