Back to Birdsboro! In truth, only one of these guys bears that nickname. Can you guess which one?
I can tell you who is not a wizard though- me. Yesterday, for the first and last time, I got my hair stuck in my ATC while rappelling off a route I cleaned. No danger, if anything I was more secure due to some unplanned shimming of my belay device, but I did think I was going to have to give myself an impromptu haircut. With a knife (both life-saving rope and life-giving carotid in close proximity!). While dangling in midair. While my head was pretty much cranked down on my shoulder. After about 10 minutes of finagling and some aid from the ground, I managed to free it. First and last time.
On the plus side, feeling progressively stronger and I can climb fairly hard two days in a row.
