from what I have seen any popular place on a busy day can compete with that percentage..... it does suck though. As a side note I saw one of hte most dangerous things I have seen in a while last weekend and the guy was spouting how he had just become "certified" to teach lead climbing..... whatever that means.

This thread has a 100% chance of containing fabricated statistics.

actually, dingus has posed and interesting conundrum (which you seem to have accepted at face value)...

Somehow, I still think you are missing the point.....
I can't speak for dingus, but due to the nature of what he said, I highly doubt it was meant as a personal attack (his 2nd one on the other hand....).
(here is a clue to the nature of dingus' post: M.C Escher's stairs)

Which 50% do you put yourself in?

This is a little better than your original analysis, which is somewhat of an atomistic fallacy, or better yet, making an statistical claim based on personal experience (which is totally biased data). You maybe encountered 5%, at the most, of the climbers at Jtree. How could you possibly make a hypothesis about all climbers at Jtree on a given day based on such a small, biased sample? Anyways, you're probably right :twisted:

Its not just J-tree, its everywhere. I used to live in the Gunks where we described a walk down the carriage road on any Saturday as a "comedy of terrors". But look around at any climbing area, how many people do you see giving a great belay, really working with they climber, making the climber's job that much easier etc? Really good belays are few and far between, scary belays are everywhere I admit that I'm suprised that there aren't more death and serious accidents in climbing.

Yer new around here, aren't ya? Offending is a specialty -- and Dingus wasn't even trying! Wear a cup, buddy. I hear WalMart has "thicker skin" on sale this week.

If you spend enough time in these forums you'll know when Dingus is actually serious. I'm not going to explain, you will learn. then you'll know why it's kinda funny.
