[at-l] Re: Holmes, Cold Weather and Life - Perspectives.

For my own sake, and the sake of this man's family and friends, I just 
wanted to clarify that in my prior e-mail when I said "what a dumb thing 
to do," I was merely describing one of two competing emotional responses 
I had when I read the story.  I was not stating my own final opinion. 
As to the observation about changing lifestyle choices, I for one can 
verify that the last time I led a difficult climb, I thought all too 
much about my wife and our newly born child . . . right then and there I 
gave up any further serious "hair of the dog" leading.  Of course, like 
that recent commercial on TV with the two climbers hanging in their 
bivvy a thousand feet up discussing their other fears, one's idea of 
what is or is not "safe" is a relative concept - and I still get pretty 
far out there sometimes! :)
